Who we are
We are a San Francisco based Sex Collective and Co-Op. We are real dancers, porn-enthusiasts, sex-positive people, and much more. Although we take pride in our content and deliver professional quality content and products, we operate as a small business and are learning as we go. We are NOT tech experts or professionals. We’re building and running our website ourselves. Our website is: https://deviantorchid.com. We’re using a popular third party content management system to build, run, and maintain this website. We’re also using third party plugins to enable features on this website including payments. PRIVACY IS OF THE UTMOST IMPORTANCE TO US. We will never intentionally share or sell your data or personal information. To the best of our ability, we enable the maximum privacy settings on the website and plugins. Nevertheless, it’s possible that the third party plugins may collect data on the users of our website. It is our understanding that it is anonymous data. However, we are not tech experts and can’t explain or guarantee what data these plugins are collecting. IF THIS IS OF CONCERN TO YOU, PLEASE LEAVE THE WEBSITE. We’re doing our best, but we don’t want to be responsible for any problems. As a general policy, we hate data collection, big tech, and marketing tricks. We’re doing our absolute best to maintain privacy and run our website with integrity. The following information below was recommended by one of the plugins we use for this site. For the most part, we have no idea what it means but it should be assumed that it applies to you.
