Age & Identity Verification
Ensuring the safety of our community at https://megirlnextdoor.com/ is of utmost importance. We need to confirm the identity of our users and ensure they are at least 18 years old to participate on our platform.
Age Requirement for Accessing Content
To join the community at Megirlnextdoor, you must be 18 years or older. This applies to both those who create content and those who view it. Our Terms of Service and Acceptable Use Policy strictly prohibit individuals under 18 from accessing, viewing, or posting any content on the site. We employ advanced technology and a dedicated moderation team to enforce these rules. Any attempt to bypass these controls will result in appropriate action against the violators.
Why is Age Verification Necessary?
Megirlnextdoor promotes a diverse range of expressions, allowing creators to share their content as long as it aligns with our policies. However, maintaining community safety is paramount. Two primary reasons underline our strict age requirement:
1. Payment and Legal Compliance: Participating in our platform, either by subscribing or posting content, requires providing payment details. Users must be legally capable of engaging in financial transactions.
2. Content Suitability: Some materials on our site are not appropriate for individuals under the age of 18. Therefore, enforcing an 18+ age limit is crucial.
Commitment to User Protection
We are dedicated to safeguarding both creators and viewers on Megirlnextdoor. It is our responsibility to ensure compliance with laws in the regions where we operate, necessitating age and identity verification.
Addressing Common Concerns
You may notice explicit content on other social media platforms without such thorough verification. However, Megirlnextdoor allows for the sharing of adult content within our policies, which is why we mandate strict age and identity verification to protect our community.
Verification Process
We use a combination of technological solutions and human moderation to verify user ages and identities. Our methods continually evolve to stay in line with the latest industry best practices and legal requirements. To begin posting content, creators must provide a variety of personal identification details such as:
- Full name
- Verified email
- Postal address
- Date of birth
- Valid government photo ID
- Selfie
- Selfie with photo ID
- Social media handles
- Bank information
- In the U.S., a W-9 form and Social Security Number
Viewers may also need to submit personal identification, payment details, and additional documents depending on their location.
Ongoing Checks and Reverification
After an account is created, we continue to conduct regular checks to confirm that users remain compliant with our age requirements. Creators are subjected to periodic "selfie checks" and other secondary verifications. Special attention is given to accounts flagged for additional scrutiny.
Handling Verification Failures
If a creator fails a "selfie check" or other verification process, their account will be restricted, and the content will be hidden until our moderation team conducts a review. Possible actions include requesting more documentation, suspending or terminating accounts, or banning certain IP addresses.
Retention and Use of Verification Information
We retain age and identity verification data as required to maintain community safety and legal compliance. Detailed information about data retention is available in our Privacy Policy. Unlike other platforms, we do not monetize or sell this data; it is exclusively used to protect our community.
For further details, please refer to our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. Thank you for helping us keep Megirlnextdoor a safe and compliant environment.
