Age Verification & KYC Policy

Last Modified: 08/28/2026

Purpose and Scope.
1. TalkToMe.com (“We,” “Us,” or the “Company”) maintains this Age Verification and Know Your Customer (“KYC”) Policy to ensure that every User who accesses the Site, sells content or services, or appears in content offered for sale meets applicable age and identity requirements, and to support Our anti-fraud, anti-money-laundering, and recordkeeping obligations and the rules of the card networks and payment processors through which transactions are processed (“Card Brand Rules”).
2. This Policy applies to all Users, including Visitors, Customers, Callers, and Talkers (collectively, “Content Providers” where they upload or sell content), and to every person depicted in any photographic or video content uploaded to or sold on the Site.
3. The Site is intended solely for adults. No person under the age of eighteen (18) may register for, access, or use the Site or any Service. Where the third-party age verification described in Section 2 of this Policy is required, access to age-restricted areas of the Site is conditioned on its completion.
Customer / User Age Verification.
1. All Users must affirm that they are at least eighteen (18) years of age (or the age of majority in their jurisdiction, if higher) before accessing age-restricted areas of the Site, registering an account, or making a purchase. Affirmation alone is not treated by Us as age verification and does not satisfy the verification requirement in Section 2.2.
2. We have adopted a firm policy of independent third-party age verification. Where age verification is required by applicable law, every User in the affected jurisdiction must complete age verification through one or both of Our age-verification providers, BlueCheck, Inc. (“BlueCheck”) and go.cam, before the User may view age-restricted material, fund an account, purchase content, or otherwise transact on the Site. Within the scope of that requirement, verification is mandatory and is applied uniformly to every affected User. It is not exercised at Our discretion, is not granted by exception, and is not waived on request. We extend third-party verification to additional jurisdictions as those requirements take effect, and We may apply it more broadly at any time.
3. Age verification is performed by the provider, not by Us. Depending on the provider and the verification path used, verification is completed by one or more of the following methods:
  - capture and validation of a valid, unexpired government-issued photo identification, including a liveness or facial-match step confirming that the person presenting the identification is the person depicted on it;
  - matching of the User’s name and residential address against authoritative identity and public-record databases;
  - matching of the User’s name, date of birth, and social security number against authoritative identity databases; or
  - confirmation of the User’s date of birth against mobile-network-operator subscriber records for a mobile number registered to the User.
  In each case the provider returns to Us a pass or fail determination that the User meets the applicable minimum age.
4. A User who is required to verify and does not complete verification, or for whom the provider does not return a confirmed age of at least eighteen (18), is denied access to age-restricted areas of the Site and may not add funds, complete any purchase, or communicate with any Talker. There is no partial, provisional, or time-limited access pending verification.
5. Identification documents and facial images are captured by the provider directly and are neither transmitted to nor stored by Us. Where a verification method requires identifying data (such as name, address, date of birth, or social security number), that data is transmitted to the provider solely to complete the age check. We retain the provider’s verification result, the date of verification, and the reference identifier the provider assigns to that verification, in accordance with Section 6 and Our Privacy Policy.
Content Provider Verification (KYC). Before a Content Provider may upload content, list services, sell content, or receive any payout, We verify the Content Provider’s identity and age. Our procedures include:
1. Collection of the Content Provider’s full legal name and date of birth;
2. Collection of a valid, unexpired government-issued photo identification;
3. Confirmation that the identification is authentic and that the individual presenting it is the account holder (which may include a matching photo or other liveness or identity-matching step);
4. Verification that the Content Provider is at least eighteen (18) years of age; and
5. Collection of payout and tax information as required, and screening against applicable sanctions and watch lists consistent with Our Anti-Money Laundering & Transaction Laundering Policy.
Content Records and Verification of Uploads.
1. We host and make available for sale photographic and video content uploaded by Content Providers. Content Providers may only upload content that they own or to which they hold all rights necessary to display and sell it. Content is not required to depict the Content Provider.
2. Each Content Provider provides, once at the profile level, an 18 U.S.C. § 2257 statement or signed consent confirming the Content Provider’s age and identity and that the content uploaded under the profile is owned by the Content Provider and may be displayed and sold on the Site. See Our 18 U.S.C. § 2257 Statement.
3. Where content depicts any person other than the Content Provider, the Content Provider must also provide, for each person depicted, complete records under 18 U.S.C. § 2257, including documentation of the Content Provider’s ownership of or rights to the content, a signed model release, and government-issued photo identification confirming that the person was an adult at the time of production and consented to the display and sale of the content.
4. At the time of each upload, We verify that the uploaded image or video matches the 2257 statement, model release, and identification records on file for that profile. Content for which the required records are not on file, or that does not match those records, is rejected.
Re-Verification & Ongoing Monitoring.
1. We may re-verify a User’s age or identity at any time, including where account activity, content, or information suggests that prior verification may be inaccurate or out of date.
2. Where a User’s age verification expires, is invalidated, or is superseded by a changed determination from the provider, the User must complete verification again under Section 2 before regaining access to age-restricted areas of the Site.
3. If We are unable to verify a User’s age or identity, or if a User refuses to cooperate with verification, We may withhold payouts, remove content, and suspend or terminate the account.
Recordkeeping & Data Protection.
1. We retain age- and identity-verification records, including the results and reference identifiers returned by BlueCheck and go.cam, for the period required by applicable law and Card Brand Rules, and We handle all such information in accordance with Our Privacy Policy.
Zero Tolerance for Minors.
1. We have a zero-tolerance policy for any content depicting, or any attempt to involve, any person under the age of eighteen (18). Suspected child sexual abuse material (CSAM) or exploitation will be removed, the responsible account terminated, and the matter reported to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) and/or the appropriate law-enforcement authorities, consistent with Our Terms and Conditions.
Questions & Reports.
1. Questions about this Policy, or reports of suspected underage Users or content, may be directed to Us at support@talktome.com.
