AGE & IDENTITY VERIFICATION
Keeping our community safe is a priority for In2me.
It is very important that we know who is using our platform and that they are at least 18 years old.
How old must a creator or fan be to access content on In2me?
You must be at least 18 years old to create an account and access content on the In2me platform as a Fan or as a Creator.
It is against our Terms of Service and our Acceptable Use Policy for anyone who is under 18 years old to view, access, or post content on In2me. We invest heavily in technology and human moderation teams to make sure this policy is followed. If anyone seeks to get around these policies and controls, In2me will take appropriate action against them.
Why must a creator or fan be 18+ years old to access In2me content?
In2me is an inclusive subscription-based platform that allows for freedom of expression. As long as content is in keeping with the Terms of Service and our Acceptable Use Policy, In2me’s Creators have the freedom to create and share content with their Fans.
This freedom of expression must be balanced with community safety. There are two reasons why you must be at least 18 years old to access the In2me platform:
-
To subscribe to or post content on the In2me platform, you need to provide us with payment card details and be legally able to pay for a subscription service.
-
Some of the content available on In2me is not suitable for people who are under 18 years old.
This is why all Creators and Fans must be 18+ years old to access, view, or post content on In2me.
Why does In2me take all of these steps to verify users on the platform?
We take these steps because we are committed to protecting Creators and Fans on our platform and to making sure our users are complying with the law in the countries where we operate.It is both socially responsible and legally necessary to ask Creators and Fans to provide In2me with this information.
But I can see sexually explicit content on other social media platforms without providing this information. Why do I need to provide this information to In2me?
Although sexually explicit content appears on many other platforms that allow users who are under 18 years old, In2me’s Terms of Service and Acceptable Use Policy allow Creators the freedom to choose which content they create and share with their Fans, as long as they adhere to these policies.
We acknowledge and permit the sharing of adult content on our platform. This is why it is our policy to restrict access to In2me to people who are at least 18 years old, and why Creators and Fans must provide age and identity verification to In2me.
How does In2me seek to verify the age and identity of Creators and Fans?
In2me uses a combination of technology and human moderation teams to verify the age and identity of Creators and Fans. The tools, policies, and procedures we use to verify age and identity are always evolving to reflect best practices, state-of-the-art technology, and changes in the law.
For example, as part of the age and identity verification process, a Creator must provide more than nine pieces of personally identifying information and documents before they can post content on In2me, including:
-
full name
-
verified email address
-
postal address
-
date of birth
-
valid government photo ID
-
selfie while holding their photo ID
-
bank account information
Depending on the country, Fans may have to provide various personally identifying information, confirmations, payment details, and documents to view media content on In2me.
We continue to check both Creator and Fan accounts after an account is opened. We proactively re-check age and identity verification using both technology and human intelligence, and we investigate any concerns from our community or other interested third parties like law enforcement, commercial partners, or non-governmental organisations.
