In short
Marital Affair shows its billing name at checkout before you pay, sends account emails only to the address you register, and shows your profile to other members, including members of partner sites in the same network. Every photo is reviewed, but you choose what to show. No site can stop another member keeping a screenshot, so share carefully.

Discretion here means privacy: control over what the site itself shows, sends and stores about you. It does not mean help deceiving a particular person, and we don't offer any. What follows is exactly what Marital Affair puts in front of other people, and where its control ends.
What the site shows, and where
The site touches your life in four places: your card statement, your inbox, other members' screens and its own servers. This table is the short version; the sections below give the detail.
| Where | What appears | What you control |
|---|---|---|
| Card statement | The billing name shown at checkout, the amount and the date | Whether and when you pay; cancelling in Settings > Billing |
| Email inbox | Account emails, such as password resets | Which address you register |
| Other members' screens | Your profile, here and on partner sites in the same network | Your username, photos and every word you write |
| Messages | Conversations inside your account | What you send, and to whom |
Your card statement
Checkout shows the billing name that will appear on your card statement, so check it there before you pay. Whatever the name, the amount and date appear, and memberships renew automatically until you cancel in Settings > Billing, so expect a repeat charge unless you have cancelled. The prices page explains the options and renewal.
If you are charged in a currency other than your own, your bank may add a conversion fee and a separate line describing it.
Your inbox
The site sends account emails, such as password resets, to the address you sign up with. Choose an address you control and are comfortable receiving account messages at. Keep its password to yourself, use a password for the site that you use nowhere else, and log out if you ever use a shared computer.
Who can see your profile
Other members can see your profile, and so can members of partner sites in the same network, because profiles are shared across one database. A profile shows which site its owner joined through, and members on any site in the network can message you. Assume more people can see your profile than the name on the front door suggests.
Nothing on your profile has to identify you. A few principles help:
- Leave out surnames, employers, identifying job titles, and the names of local landmarks, clubs or schools.
- Avoid clear face photos if you don't want to be recognised, and check backgrounds for house numbers, car registrations, uniforms or distinctive rooms.
- Use photos that don't appear anywhere else online, because images can be matched by reverse image search.
The profile privacy guide goes into photos and wording in more detail.
Photos and ID checks
Every photo is reviewed, and the image rules do not allow nudity or lingerie shots. Review is about what an image shows, not who is in it; it does not confirm that a member is the person pictured. What members write about themselves is not checked at all.
Most members never need to verify their ID. It is required only for some sign-ups, for example if you join through a VPN or your account is flagged. The check is carried out by LEM Verify, using a photo of your ID document and a selfie, and is otherwise an optional paid badge.
Where discretion ends
Messages are sent and read inside your account, not by text or through your phone's messaging apps. That keeps conversations in one place. It does not stop the person you are talking to from screenshotting or saving what you send.
That is the real limit of discretion on any site. Once a message or photo leaves your hands, the person who receives it decides what happens to it. Share intimate images only with someone you have come to trust, never early, and never with anyone pressing you for them. If someone threatens to share your messages or photos, the guide to scams and blackmail explains what to do; adults can also use StopNCII.org to help stop intimate images being shared on participating platforms.
This website, and your data rights
The information site you are reading sets no cookies and runs no advertising or tracking scripts. Its host keeps technical logs for security and performance. The privacy policy explains this, and links to the members area's own policy.
If you live in the UK or EU, data protection law gives you rights over your personal data, including asking for a copy and, in some circumstances, asking for it to be erased. The UK regulator, the Information Commissioner's Office, says an organisation normally has one calendar month to respond to an erasure request. Send requests about your account through the members help centre.
Leaving cleanly
- Cancel any membership in Settings > Billing so you are not charged again.
- Click your avatar, open Settings and choose Delete Account.
The step-by-step version is in cancelling or deleting your account. Before you start at all, the questions to ask yourself first are worth ten minutes: being honest with yourself about the risks protects you better than any setting.
Questions people ask
What will my bank statement show?
The billing name shown at checkout, together with the amount and the date. Check the name on the checkout screen before you confirm. Memberships renew automatically, so the same entry will appear again at each renewal until you cancel in Settings > Billing.
Can someone recognise me from my profile?
Only from what you choose to show. Keep surnames, employers, recognisable places and photos used elsewhere online out of your profile, and check photo backgrounds. Remember that members of partner sites in the same network can see your profile too, so the audience is wider than this site.
Does this website track me?
No. This information website sets no cookies and runs no advertising or tracking scripts; its host keeps technical logs for security and performance. The members area, where your account lives, has its own privacy policy, which explains what it stores and for how long.
Can I ask for my data to be deleted?
Deleting your account through avatar > Settings > Delete Account removes your profile. If you are in the UK or EU you also have data rights, including asking for a copy of your data or for it to be erased in some circumstances. Make the request through the members help centre.
