Consent and Age Assurance
We ensure informed, verifiable consent and age verification before any content is processed or published.
- Consent is obtained in a way that is verifiable and auditable.
- Age is confirmed using privacy-preserving, auditable methods.
- These checks occur before processing or publishing content.
We center consent and age verification as foundational practices, combining secure identity checks with minimal data retention.
- Secure identity checks are used to build confidence that contributors are of legal age.
- Minimal data retention is practiced so people’s personal information is not kept longer than necessary.
- The goal is for contributors to feel safe and included.
We use responsible AI to support human review — not replace it — keeping accountability clear and traceable.
- AI is used to flag discrepancies and surface potential issues.
- Final decisions remain with human reviewers to ensure context-sensitive judgment.
- All actions are traceable to maintain accountability.
We protect performer privacy by design through access controls, encryption, and limited metadata.
- Access controls restrict who can view sensitive information.
- Encryption protects data at rest and in transit.
- Limited metadata reduces the risk of deanonymization.
We maintain transparent, auditable records and provide clear channels for contributors to manage their data.
- Contributors can audit records related to their content and consent.
- There are clear processes to revoke consent or correct data.
- Transparency builds trust and empowers contributors.
We collaborate with technology partners to standardize protocols and share best practices.
- Cross‑industry collaboration fosters consistent safeguards.
- Shared standards help everyone benefit from proven practices.
We foster trust by listening, iterating, and holding ourselves to measurable standards.
- Continuous improvement is guided by feedback and measurable metrics.
- The underlying principle: safety, dignity, and respect for the people who make the industry possible.

What specific data retention policies and timelines will partners follow for content, metadata, and biometric data collected during verification processes?
We’ll retain content only as long as necessary for purpose. Typically this is 3–7 years for published material to support rights and compliance. After that period we will delete or anonymize the content.
Metadata will be kept for a shorter period. Usually 1–3 years to support operations and analytics.
Biometric data collected for verification will be retained the minimum legally required. This is often no more than 30–90 days. After verification the biometric data will be purged or irreversibly hashed.
We’ll provide clear access and deletion routes.
How will disputes between performers and platforms regarding content takedown, monetization splits, or consent records be resolved, and is there an independent appeals process?
Immediate internal review.
We begin with a prompt, internal review of the issue reported (takedown, revenue split dispute, or consent-record discrepancy). This internal review is the first tier and aims to resolve straightforward matters quickly — typically within a short, predefined timeline. Shared evidence access is provided so both parties can see the materials and metadata used in the decision.
Mediation with neutral third parties.
If the internal review does not resolve the dispute, the next tier is mediation facilitated by neutral third-party mediators trained in platform/content disputes. The mediator helps the parties negotiate a resolution and can recommend remedies. Community advocates are available to support performers during mediation, ensuring their concerns are represented.
Independent appeals panel.
When mediation fails or the parties request further review, an independent appeals panel — composed of impartial experts — will hear the case. The panel’s process is transparent, and its decision is binding unless there is cause for judicial review.
Transparent timelines and evidence-sharing.
We commit to clear timelines at each stage (internal review, mediation, appeals) so parties know when to expect decisions. At every stage, shared access to evidence and metadata is available to both sides to ensure decisions are informed and fair.
Interim protections and remedies.
To protect parties while disputes are pending, we will offer provisional reinstatement or escrowed payments where appropriate. We also commit to fair remedies — such as corrections to revenue splits, back payments, or content reinstatement — if a decision favors a claimant.
Community advocates and support.
Performers and creators may choose a community advocate to accompany them through the process, help present evidence, and ensure clear communication with the platform.
Regular reporting and accountability.
We will publish regular reports on dispute outcomes, timelines, and systemic patterns so the community can see the system’s performance and trust that disputes are handled fairly.
