Documented Consent
Clear, unambiguous, and documented written consent from all individuals depicted in the content is required before publication. This documentation must be readily available for review by our acquirer or card networks upon request.
Pre-screening and Monitoring
All content is pre-screened and reviewed before publication to ensure compliance. We also actively monitor live-streamed or real-time content to detect and immediately remove any non-compliant material.
Record Keeping
We maintain records of all identity and consent verification documents and monthly reports of all flagged content, complaints, and actions taken for a minimum required period, as mandated by card network rules.
Reporting and Takedown Procedures
We provide clear and accessible mechanisms for reporting potentially illegal or non-compliant content.
- Complaint Process: A process is in place that allows for the reporting of content that may be illegal or violates our standards. Complaints can be submitted via info@afterdarksociety.com or by contacting the National Human Trafficking Hotline.
- Prompt Action: Reported complaints are reviewed and resolved within seven (7) business days. If content is found to be non-compliant or illegal, it is removed immediately.
- Appeals Process: Individuals depicted in content have the ability to appeal the removal of content or report content where consent is disputed. Disagreements over consent may be resolved by a neutral third party at the merchant's expense.
Consequences of Violation
Any employee, content creator, or user found to be in violation of this policy will face immediate and decisive action, including:
- Immediate removal of all associated content.
- Permanent suspension or termination of their account/employment/contract.
- Reporting of the violation to relevant law enforcement authorities and our financial partners/acquirers.
