Trust & Safety

Our Pledge 

ManyVids is committed to providing a safe and welcoming community. Our vision is to open hearts and minds through creative freedom and diversity. 

ManyVids is a diverse e-commerce platform serving adults (18+) by offering a wide range of content from Adult, Music, Beauty, Health, Food & Drinks, and many more communities. Our commitment to Trust & Safety is at the core of what we do and embodied in these guiding principles: 

1. Demonstrate Respect: Encompassing communications, security, privacy, and policymaking, ManyVids fosters the highest level of respect for and within our community. 
2. Make it Safe: Leveraging technology, process, partnerships, and people, ManyVids creates an environment in which safety naturally flourishes. 
3. Engage and Cooperate: Acknowledging challenges outside the boundaries of our platform, ManyVids actively collaborates with our community and industry associates, the broader technology space, law enforcement, and governments to enhance and promote Trust & Safety in the online universe. 

These principles compel us to constantly improve, and we acknowledge that there is always more that can be done. ManyVids remains fully committed to openness, freedom of expression, creativity, inclusivity, and diversity as we make continuous advancements in Trust & Safety. 

A Healthy Community 

Our mission is to create a judgement-free online destination that fuels unrestrained creativity, fearless engagement and limitless monetization potential. An integral part of the ManyVids platform is our valued Community: Creators, MV Members, and the MV Team that designs, builds, and supports the platform. 

The following guidelines highlight how each Community member contributes to maintaining a safe platform. These points illustrate, but do not replace any part of the Terms and Conditions for Users and Members or Terms of Services for Uploaders.  

All ManyVids Community members: 

• Must demonstrate safe, civil, and respectful behaviour towards all members of the MV Community. 
• Must respect ManyVids’ policies, and in no way to attempt to circumvent or bypass processes or technology that are in place to provide the safest possible platform.  
• Should experience ManyVids free from harassment, bullying, doxxing, abuse, violence, racism or hateful speech. 
• May report safety concerns within the Community to the MV Team. 
• May appeal a decision made by the MV Team as needed.  

ManyVids Trust & Safety Program 

The ManyVids Trust & Safety program includes a wide variety of policies, processes, activities, technologies and partnerships that work together to create a safe, secure, and trustworthy online ecosystem. While elements of the program related to policy are outlined below, every Community member is expected to read and agree to the full list of policies, responsibilities, consequences, and terms of use provided in the Terms of Services for Uploaders and Terms and Conditions for Users and Members. 

Community Safeguards 

100% Verified Uploaders 

Founded in 2014, ManyVids has always provided a safe space for content creators to share and sell their work within a community of 100% verified uploaders. Using a combination of skilled human analysts, technology solutions, and collaborative partnerships, ManyVids thoroughly vets prospective Creators and approves only those that meet all legal requirements. For details on the ManyVids registration process, see the Terms of Services for Uploaders, section 3.1. 

Community Guidelines 

ManyVids offers many tools to engage, share, and interact with Community members on the platform. While digital interaction is highly encouraged, ManyVids has clearly defined guidelines regarding what is and isn’t appropriate conduct within the Community. For a complete list, please refer to the Terms of Services for Uploaders and the Terms and Conditions For Users and Members. 

Generally, ManyVids requires MV Members, Creators and guest visitors: 

• To be 18 years of age (or the local legal age of consent) or older to access the platform 
• To respect all local laws while using the platform 
• To safeguard their MV Profiles from unauthorized use 
• To allow all Community members to safely enjoy the platform 
• To extend ManyVids’ principles of respect and civility beyond our digital boundaries

Restricted to Adults / ASACP

To help ensure our Community is restricted to adults, ManyVids has partnered with the ASACP non-profit organization (https://www.asacp.org/). Founded in 1996, ASACP is a non-profit organization dedicated to online child protection. ASACP battles child exploitation through its CE Reporting Tip line and helps parents prevent children from viewing age-restricted material online with the Restricted To Adults - RTA Website Label. This label is voluntary information placed on the site to make it easier for parents to protect their children from viewing adult material online. When parents recognize the label, they can manually add the website to their list of restricted sites. Even more conveniently, ManyVids inputs information on our backend that allows parental control blockers to automatically recognize the site as restricted to adults. 

Conflict Resolution 

From time to time, disagreements may occur between members of the Community. ManyVids encourages Community members to resolve their own conflicts, but the MV Team reserves the right to intervene at our discretion. Throughout any conflict resolution process, all Community members must behave with civility and respect.  

If a decision or action is taken by the MV Team in response to a disagreement between Community members, either party may appeal the decision or action for review. Unless otherwise indicated, all decisions or actions taken by the MV Team are considered final. 

*Note: For any content removal or copyright claims, please see the below section titled  'Copyright Protection' for more details. 

Digital Privacy 

ManyVids offers a set of straightforward guidelines to safeguard our Community members’ digital privacy. While these guidelines are geared towards Creators, all Community members may find useful information in the following areas: 

• Separating “personal” and “business” social media accounts 
• Protecting information that could be used to “dox” you, such as phone numbers and location data 
• Password protection and multi-factor authentication 
• Identifying scams and phishing attempts 
• Working with others safely 

All Community members are strongly encouraged to read the ManyVids Privacy Checklist. 

External Links

To support our efforts to make MV a safe space for all users, external links / URLs in text to other adult sites are not permitted. Watermarks in vids uploaded from February 20 2021 onward that display links to other adult sites are also not permitted.  ManyVids cannot risk hosting links to other websites that may not hold the same standards for Trust & Safety as we do. As social media platforms are designed for self-expression, Creators are permitted to link their social accounts to the MV Profiles. 

Sex Positivity Center 

ManyVids provides a comprehensive guide on sexual health and happiness. The purpose of this guide is to improve the sexual wellbeing of the ManyVids Community and contribute to a lifetime of learning, growth, and appreciation for sexual health within our Community. 

All Community members are encouraged to read the ManyVids Sex Positivity Center. 

Pineapple Support

ManyVids encourages any Creator in need of emotional support to reach out to Pineapple Support, a charitable organization offering therapy, counselling, and coaching. Pineapple Support believes that mental health care should be available to everyone, which is why they provide free and subsidized professional psychotherapy and mental health care to all professionals working in the adult industry who need it.

Content Safeguards 

Permitted Content 

Verified uploaders can share or sell legal, permitted content on ManyVids while retaining full ownership of their intellectual property. A full list of Upload Rules is available as a reference for Creators. Consequences for uploading content that does not adhere to the Upload Rules are outlined in the Terms of Services for Uploaders.  

The MV Team identifies non-permitted content via several channels, including: 

• Ongoing manual content audit processes 
• Flagged content from the Community 
• Digital identification of potential violations 

While technology assists the MV Team to identify potential content violations, all decisions to remove flagged content are made by skilled human analysts only after manually reviewing the content. ManyVids believes that technology plays an important role in establishing safe content, but that technology cannot replace the nuanced decision-making abilities of our trained MV Team members. 

Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) 

ManyVids is steadfastly committed to the fight against child sexual exploitation and abuse. Knowing that user-generated content platforms can be targeted by perpetrators for distribution of such illegal materials, special attention is given to preventing and responding to CSAM on ManyVids. Significant resources are devoted to vigilantly auditing content and user behaviour to identify, investigate and respond to potential infractions. Among other activities, ManyVids undertakes the following to combat CSAM: 

• Partnerships with leading technology providers to identify known and / or suspected CSAM 
• Collaboration and cooperation with international law enforcement and child protection agencies to reduce harm and bring perpetrators to justice 
• Development and execution of policies, processes, and proprietary technologies to make ManyVids an inhospitable environment for CSAM 

Non-Consensual Content 

Non-consensual content in any form is not permitted on ManyVids and carries strict penalties per the Terms of Services for Uploaders. Revenge content, or content posted without the knowledge or consent of the content participants, is abusive, immoral, and in some jurisdictions illegal. All Creators are responsible for retaining and providing supporting documentation for every performer in every piece of uploaded content. ManyVids reserves the right to suspend or terminate an account with cause for non-compliance with this requirement and will collaborate with law enforcement agencies to address cases of suspected abuse. 

Copyright Protection 

ManyVids takes content ownership seriously and is fully responsive to DMCA notices. Content creators work hard to make their content, and ManyVids is committed to respecting intellectual property owners’ rights. For further details, please refer to the DMCA Notice & Takedown Policy and Procedure. A template release agreement is provided for all Creators to use when collaborating with co-performers, to facilitate proper documentation and proof of consent. 

ManyVids also takes proactive measures to protect copyright material uploaded to ManyVids. Our partners DigiRegs & DMCA Force use digital fingerprinting and web crawling to quickly identify stolen content and issue DMCA takedown notices on behalf of Creators. Thousands of infractions are identified and taken down every week through these automated processes, ensuring Creators retain control of their intellectual property. 

Data Privacy and Security 

ManyVids takes our responsibility as custodian of personal information extremely seriously, and employs a large, talented team of engineers, security personnel, and data scientists to ensure processes and technologies are in place to protect our Community members’ data. 

ManyVids also carefully vets third-party service providers to ensure that their technologies and processes are compliant with international privacy protection legislation and meet our own high standards for data security. 

Additionally, we engage with international privacy law experts regularly to identify improvement opportunities and build processes that position ManyVids ahead of the curve for data privacy protection. 

 For more information regarding data privacy on ManyVids, please refer to our Privacy Policy.
