1. Introduction
Welcome to 18HomeVids.
At 18HomeVids (“18HomeVids”, “we”, “us”, or “our”), we recognise the importance of protecting your privacy, personal information and digital identity.
18HomeVids is an online marketplace intended exclusively for adults aged 18 years or older. The Platform enables independent content creators to upload, publish and sell adult-oriented video content to eligible users.
This Privacy Policy explains how personal data is collected, used, stored, shared and protected when you visit our website, register an account, purchase content, become a content creator or otherwise interact with our services.
We process personal data in accordance with applicable data protection legislation, including the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Dutch GDPR Implementation Act (Uitvoeringswet AVG).
We recognise that using an adult-oriented platform may involve particularly sensitive personal information. Protecting the confidentiality, privacy and rights of users, creators and individuals appearing in content is an important consideration in our data processing activities.
2. Data Controller and Contact Information
The organisation responsible for determining the purposes and means of personal data processing in connection with the operation of 18HomeVids is:

Independent content creators and certain third-party service providers may act as separate data controllers for processing activities for which they independently determine the purposes and means.
Where applicable, the respective responsibilities of the parties will be communicated.
3. Personal Data We Collect
Depending on how you interact with the Platform, we may process the following categories of personal data.
3.1 Account and Registration Information
When you register an account, we may collect:
- Username and display name.
- Email address.
- Authentication and account security information.
- Country or region.
- Account preferences and settings.
- Account registration and activity dates.
- Communication preferences.
3.2 Identity and Age Verification
To help prevent unauthorised access by minors and verify the eligibility of content creators, age and identity verification may be required.
Depending on the verification method, the information processed by us or our verification provider may include:
- Full legal name.
- Date of birth.
- Age eligibility or verification status.
- Identification document information.
- Identity verification results.
- Verification timestamps and reference numbers.
- Images or other information needed for identity verification, where applicable.
We aim to limit the information processed to what is necessary for verification, security and applicable legal requirements.
Where a third-party identity verification provider is used, its role and relevant data processing practices will be identified.
If biometric identification is used, additional GDPR requirements may apply. Such processing will only take place where an appropriate legal basis and, where required, a separate condition under Article 9 GDPR have been established.

- Purchase history.

- Purchased content identifiers.
- Transaction amounts and currency.
- Payment confirmation and payment status.

Payment card information may be processed directly by our authorised payment service providers.
The extent to which 18HomeVids receives or stores payment-related information depends on the payment processing arrangements in place.
3.4 Content Creator Information
Creators may be required to provide additional information, including:

3.5 Uploaded Content and Participant Information
When creators upload content, the Platform may process personal data relating to identifiable individuals appearing in the material.
Such data may include:
- Images and video recordings.
- Voices and other identifying characteristics.
- Creator-provided content descriptions.
- Information relating to participant age and identity verification.
- Information documenting relevant permissions and consent.
Some content may reveal information concerning a person’s sex life or sexual orientation and may therefore constitute special-category personal data under Article 9 GDPR.
Such information requires additional legal safeguards.
The Platform does not consider a creator’s upload alone sufficient proof that every identifiable participant has validly authorised all relevant data processing.
3.6 Technical and Usage Information
When users access the Platform, certain technical information may be processed, including:
- IP address.
- Browser type and version.
- Device and operating system information.
- Login and access records.
- Security-related events.

Where relevant, technical information may also be used to prevent fraud, maintain service security and diagnose technical problems.
3.7 Customer Support and Communications
When you contact us, we may process:
- Your name or username.
- Email address.
- The content of your request.
- Relevant correspondence.
- Information required to investigate or resolve the issue.
Where you submit sensitive information, we will assess whether processing it is necessary and lawful.
4. Purposes and Legal Bases for Processing
We process personal data only for specified and lawful purposes.
Depending on the relevant activity, we rely on the following legal bases under Article 6 GDPR.
| Purpose | Legal Basis |
|---|---|
| Creating and maintaining accounts | Performance of a contract |
| Providing purchased digital content | Performance of a contract |
| Managing creator services and payouts | Performance of a contract and, where applicable, legal obligations |
| Complying with applicable tax and accounting requirements | Legal obligation |
| Preventing fraud and protecting account security | Legitimate interests and/or legal obligation, as applicable |
| Performing legally required verification | Legal obligation, where applicable |
| Performing other necessary verification | Appropriate legal basis determined for the specific activity |
| Handling support requests | Performance of a contract or legitimate interests |
| Responding to legally required disclosures | Legal obligation |
| Sending optional marketing communications | Consent where required |
| Using non-essential tracking technologies | Consent where required |
| Investigating content reports and disputes | Legal obligation or legitimate interests, as applicable |
Where legitimate interests are relied upon, we assess whether our interests are outweighed by the rights and freedoms of affected individuals.
Where processing involves special-category personal data, an Article 6 legal basis alone is insufficient. We must also establish an applicable condition under Article 9 GDPR.
Special-category processing conditions used by the Platform: [Specify the actual Article 9 conditions applicable to each relevant activity.]
5. Sensitive Personal Data and Adult Content
18HomeVids recognises that privacy risks associated with sexually explicit material may be particularly significant.
Content appearing on the Platform, combined with certain browsing, account or transaction data, may reveal sensitive information about individuals.
Where such information qualifies as special-category personal data, we will only process it where permitted under Article 9 GDPR and where an appropriate Article 6 legal basis exists.
Where explicit consent is the applicable Article 9 condition, it must meet all relevant legal requirements and be obtained separately as necessary.
Consent to being filmed, consent to publication, consent to commercial distribution and consent to personal data processing are distinct matters and will be assessed accordingly.
We will take appropriate steps to restrict access to sensitive information and limit its processing to authorised purposes.
We will not use special-category personal data for advertising targeted on the basis of a person’s sex life or sexual orientation.
6. Age Restrictions and Protection of Minors
18HomeVids is intended exclusively for individuals aged 18 years or older.
Minors are not permitted to register, purchase content, become creators or access age-restricted Platform services.
We do not intentionally collect personal information from minors for the purpose of providing them access to adult content.
Where we become aware that a minor has created an account or submitted personal information, we will take appropriate steps to restrict access and delete data that is not necessary or legally required to retain.
Information required to investigate suspected illegal activity may be handled in accordance with applicable law.
Age verification procedures will be designed with consideration for data minimisation and privacy protection.
