Incident #4C4084 · 15 JUN 2026notable
RedTube EU privacy notice adds AI product improvement, targeted-ad sharing, and broader processing purposes
The updated notice adds new processing purposes (product improvement, quality assurance and training of support teams, business transfers, legal defence) and says data may be shared within the corporate group for AI product improvement. It states personal information is shared for targeted advertising, and replaces the California-only section with a multi-state US rights section. It also says minors' data may be incidentally processed during age verification and that face recognition data stays with third-party providers.
