Depending on your local laws parts of this site may be blocked from view until you become age-verified. You're considered age-verified once you photo ID has been verified by an age verification service. This is separate from producer-verification which is required to upload adult content.
A UMD Fetish account is not required, but if you do have one this site will permanently remember your age-verified status so you won’t need to do this process again. We don’t display any visual indicator or checkmark showing an account's age verification status. Producer Verification✓
Your UMD Fetish account must be producer-verified to upload explicit pictures or videos, or to open a store. This is separate from age-verification that allows you to view adult content. A account is considered producer-verified and gets a green checkmark once a photo ID and Compliance Record Holder (2257) information have been supplied to this site.
To get producer-verified, any user with an account may upload the required information to us by editing their preferences to find the Producer Verification section. All documents are transmitted securely, and once verified, they are removed from the internet and stored offline and encrypted. We do not share these documents with any third party.
Our Producer Verification system and the green tick do not denote endorsement, nor do they guarantee that the verified entity is the one actively using the account. Please interact with users at your own risk, regardless of their verification status. We take all reasonable measures to keep bad people off of this site, but there is no substitute for being careful with anyone you interact with and doing your own due diligence before doing any business. We are not officially affiliated with any user and are not responsible for the outcome of any interaction facilitated here. Users' producer verification documents are not shared with or authenticated through any 3rd party service.
The purpose of collecting ID's for producer verification is that they must be in our file in case we are presented with a challenge to your age by our biller or government authority. In that case, you will first be contacted with a full explanation as to what is going on. This information will be kept on-file indefinitely while you are here, and for those who leave, we do a periodic purge of unneeded photo ID's and other sensitive information after a reasonable grace period. You may request that we destroy all copies of your submitted documents at any time.
While we do not require you to submit photo ID's of your models and crew to become producer-verified, you are required to maintain them, as well as signed model release forms, for your own records. We advise you to expect the possibility of new laws being introduced in the future that would require you to send us to model ID information, but we do not require that at this time.
To stay compliant with international law, we use age-verification services to confirm users are over 18, if they are visiting from in locations that legally require verifications. This process is free for our users. Here are some details about the services we've signed on to.
Yoti
App required. You’ll click a link that takes you to the Yoti website. You'll scan their QR code with your phone and download the Yoti app. You'll upload a photo ID and face scan to the app. Once that process is complete, you will be brought back to this site, and restrictions will be lifted. None of the info you send to Yoti is ever shared with us—we only receive confirmation that you’re over 18.
No app required. You’ll click a link that takes you to the Veriff website. You'll scan their QR code with your phone or computer camera, or have them text you a link, both of which take you to the signup process. You'll upload a photo ID and face scan. Once that process is complete, you will be brought back to this site, and restrictions will be lifted. Veriff does send us your phone number, real name, and address without us asking, but all of this information is rejected, and it's never stored, logged, or backed up.
Unfortunately, if you don't have a government ID, you won't be able to get age-verified for this site. Checking the physical ID (as opposed to technology such as AI age estimation) is the standard for most governments.
Compliance with worldwide age verification laws prevents us from being fined, or blocked at the ISP level. We pay for each successful verification, but do not receive compensation in any way from our age check services. We plan to add more age verification options in the future!
Starting in October 2021, the credit card companies started requiring that all users uploading new explicit content have to become verified. We must manually review everything and delete any explicit content uploaded by non-verified users. Until approved, new content will be temporarily hidden or replaced with a placeholder icon. Any user can get verified by editing their profile and filling out the Compliance Record Keeper and Photo ID sections. "Explicit" is currently defined as anything containing sex, masturbation, nudity, hard-ons, toplessness (nipples showing regardless of gender), or suggestive touching.
Our biller has an anti-fraud system that is a bit hyperactive. Even if you're legit, your purchase may be blocked due to some unknown red flag. Due to strict privacy terms, we are not given any information about payment declines, but you may contact our biller directly at epoch.com.
