1. WHO WE ARE

Fenix International Limited and its subsidiaries ("OnlyFans", "we", "us", "our")
respect your privacy and we are committed to protecting the personal data we
process about you. OnlyFans is a social network which enables: (i) "Creators" to
share and monetise their own content (as well as subscribe to, and view, the
content of other Creators); and (ii) "Fans" to subscribe to, and view, the
content of Creators.


2. ABOUT THIS POLICY

This privacy policy ("Policy") explains our practices with respect to the
personal data we process about our Creators and Fans. Some parts of the Policy
are specifically aimed at Creators, and some parts are specifically aimed at
Fans. It also applies to how we process the personal data of individuals that
feature in content uploaded by a Creator ("Content Collaborators"), and where we
process personal data about you in the context of our business relationships.

We process your personal data when you use our website located at
www.onlyfans.com ("Website") and for the provision of the services that we offer
from time to time via our Website. We also process your personal data when you
interact with us through our social media pages on third-party websites (e.g.
Twitter and Instagram), or otherwise. We refer to these activities collectively
as the "Services" in this Policy.

We are a "data controller" of the personal data that we process in connection
with the Services. This means that we decide the reasons why we process personal
data about you and how we do so.

Please review this Policy to understand how we process your personal data in
connection with the Services. By using our Services, you acknowledge that you
have read and understand the information in this Policy.

If you have any questions about this Policy or our processing of your personal
data, please see Section 19 (assistance and contact information) for information
about how to contact us.


3. WHAT IS PERSONAL DATA?

"Personal data" means information that identifies, relates to, describes, is
reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked,
directly or indirectly, with a particular person or household.

In addition, we may collect data that is not capable of identifying you or is
otherwise not associated or linked with you, such as deidentified, aggregated or
anonymised information. This type of data is not personal data and our use of
such data is not subject to this Policy.


4. INFORMING US OF CHANGES

It is important that the personal data we hold about you is accurate and
current. Please keep us informed if your personal data changes at any point
during your relationship with us. Updates or corrections can be made through
your account settings on our Website.


5. APPLICABILITY OF THIS POLICY (18+)

This Policy is provided in addition to, but does not form part of, our Terms of
Service (which includes our Acceptable Use Policy) that govern your use of our
Website and the Services.

Our Services are strictly intended for individuals 18 years of age or older.
Anyone under 18 years of age is not permitted to use the Services. By using the
Services, you represent that you are 18 years of age or older.


6. THIRD-PARTY LINKS

Our Website may include links to third-party websites, plug-ins and
applications. Clicking on those links or enabling those connections may allow
third parties to collect or share personal data about you.

We are not responsible for, and this Policy does not apply to, the content,
security or privacy practices of those other websites, plug-ins or applications.
We encourage you to view the privacy and cookie policies / notices of those
third parties to find out how your personal data may be used.

We need to collect certain personal data from you in order to provide you with
access to the Services or specific features and functionalities of the Services
in accordance with our contract with you (i.e. our Terms of Service). We are
also required to process certain personal data in accordance with applicable
laws. Please note that if you do not wish to provide personal data where
requested, we may not be able to provide you with access to the Services or
specific features and functionalities of the Services.


8. UPDATES TO THIS POLICY

We may update this Policy from time to time, and any updates will be effective
upon our posting of the revised Policy on our Website. We will use reasonable
efforts to notify you in the event that material updates are made to this
Policy, such as sending you a feed notification or a chat message via your

 * for performance on the Website (e.g. to analyse how users interact with the
   Website to improve the Services and, where you are a Creator, so that we can
   recognise that you have referred another Creator through your unique referral
   code)
 * for Website functionality (e.g. saving your logged-in status)

More information on our use of cookies, including how to delete or block
cookies, can be found in our Cookie Notice. In some cases, data collected from
cookies will be in a deidentified, aggregated or anonymised format.

We currently do not use any cross-site tracking technologies and we do not sell
personal data collected about you, or share personal data collected about you
for cross-context behavioural advertising.

Face Recognition Data

Creators (and Fans in certain locations)

 * As described in more detail below in Section 10 (our onboarding processes),
   during onboarding, our third-party providers may use face recognition
   technology, so they can digitally verify you.
 * The Face Recognition Data remains with our third-party provider and we do not
   ourselves collect, receive, possess, or have access to Face Recognition Data
   at any time.


10. OUR ONBOARDING PROCESSES

CREATORS

We have processes in place that are intended to ensure that all Creators on the
Website: (i) are at least 18 years of age; and (ii) verify their identity.
Before you can start a Creator account, we will:

 * Ask you to provide Creator User Data, as set out at Section 9 (categories of
   personal data).
 * Check your country of residence. This check is intended to ensure lawful
   access to the Website and the Services.
 * Ask you to provide Financial Data, as set out at Section 9 (categories of
   personal data). This is necessary so that payments can be made to Creators
   for content, and so that Creators can access their earnings via the Website.
   Financial Data is also collected as a verification and anti-fraud measure.

 * Ask you to go through a third-party age and identity verification process:
   
   * This process involves our third-party provider collecting a short .gif,
     taken from a "selfie" and photo from a government identity document (in
     both cases, that you provide to the third-party provider). The third-party
     provider then uses Face Recognition Data to match the two images so they
     can digitally verify your age and identity.
   * As described at Section 9 (categories of personal data), we do not collect,
     receive, possess, or have access to any Face Recognition Data collected or
     processed by our third-party providers through this process.
   * Where permitted by applicable law, we receive from our third-party
     providers Third-Party Onboarding Data, and certain Technical Data, as set
     out at Section 9 (categories of personal data), to maintain a record of the
     age and identity verification process.
 * Check that you have not previously been banned from using the Website and our
   Services (e.g. as a result of violating our Terms of Service ).

FANS

We have processes in place that are intended to ensure that: (i) all Fans on the
Website are at least 18 years of age; and (ii) Fans in certain locations verify
their identity. Before you can start a Fan account, we will:

 * Ask you to provide Fan User Data, as set out at Section 9 (categories of
   personal data).
 * Check your country of residence. This check is intended to ensure lawful
   access to the Website and the Services.
 * Ask you to provide Financial Data, as set out at Section 9 (categories of
   personal data). This is necessary so that Fans can make payments to Creators.
   Financial Data is also collected as a verification and anti-fraud measure.

 * Ask you to go through a third-party process to gain assurances of your age.
   The specific process will depend upon your location and the third-party
   provider. This may include:
   
   * Third-party age and identity verification
     
     * For certain locations, we are required to verify the age and identity of
       our Fans, so we need to take additional steps. This process involves our
       third-party provider collecting a short .gif, taken from a "selfie" and
       photo from a government identity document (in both cases, that you
       provide to the third-party provider). The third-party provider then uses
       Face Recognition Data to match the two images so they can digitally
       verify your age and identity.
     * As set out at Section 9 (categories of personal data), we do not
       ourselves collect, receive, possess, or have access to this data.
     * Where permitted by applicable law, we may receive from our third-party
       providers Third-Party Onboarding Data, and certain Technical Data, as set
       out at Section 9 (categories of personal data), to maintain a record of
       the age and identity verification process.
   
   * Third-party age estimation
     
     * For certain locations, we use third-party providers to conduct age
       estimation. This process involves our third-party provider collecting a
       short .gif "selfie" (that you provide to the third-party provider) and
       using digital technology to estimate your age, which may involve the use
       of Face Recognition Data.
     * If you go through the third-party age estimation process, we will only
       receive the results of the process (pass / fail and reason for failing),
       to maintain a record of the age estimation process.
     * If you fail the third-party age estimation process (e.g. if you are over
       18 years of age, but their technology has predicted that you look under
       18 years of age), you may have the option to go through the third-party
       age and identity verification process set out above.

MORE INFORMATION ON OUR ONBOARDING PROCESSES

 * Why does OnlyFans use third-party face recognition technology?
   
   * The use of face recognition technology by our third-party providers is an
     important technological measure used in our wider onboarding processes for
     Creators and Fans. It is intended to ensure safety on the Website and our
     compliance with applicable laws.
   * We use third-party service providers to carry out age and identity
     verification, who carry out these services on our behalf, as data
     processors.

 * How does Face Recognition Data help to prevent fraud?
   
   * Face recognition technology reduces the possibility of fraudulent face
     image spoofing and the uploading of fraudulent government identity
     documents when individuals go through the onboarding process.
   * Where our third-party providers have identified possible fraud attempts
     (such as the use of fake or otherwise manipulated documents) our
     third-party providers may maintain a record of such attempts, including
     Face Recognition Data, for the purposes of detecting unlawful activity and
     preventing access to the Website.

 * Periodic authentication of your identity
   
   * During the time that you hold an account with us, we may require you to
     periodically authenticate your identity. If you have gone through the
     third-party age identity verification process, where permitted by
     applicable law our third-party providers may retain Face Recognition Data
     to enable you to authenticate your identity. Where this is retained, you do
     not need to provide the third-party provider with your government identity
     document again when authenticating your identity.
   * Withdrawing your consent: You may withdraw your consent to the retention of
     your Face Recognition Data for the purposes of subsequent authentication
     (and delete this) by contacting privacy@onlyfans.com. While withdrawing
     your consent to the retention of your Face Recognition Data will not affect
     your ability to complete a subsequent authentication process, it may
     require you to provide the third-party provider with your government
     identity document again during the authentication process.


11. HOW / WHY YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS USED AND LAWFUL BASES FOR PROCESSING

We process personal data for, or based on, one or more of the following legal
bases:

 * Consent: Your consent is requested only in specific circumstances which
   includes, for example, the processing of: (i) Face Recognition Data by our
   third-party providers as part of the age and identity verification process
   for all Creators (and for Fans in certain locations); and (ii) age estimation
   captures (which may involve the use of Face Recognition Data) by our
   third-party providers for Fans in certain locations. Please see Section 10
   (our onboarding processes), above, for further information.
 * Performance of a contract: By using the Services, you have contracted with us
   through our Terms of Service, and we will process personal data to perform
   that contract (e.g. to fulfil transactions between Fans and Creators and
   process Creator earnings) and to enforce the terms of that contract.
 * Legitimate interests: We may process personal data if it is in our, or a
   third-party's, legitimate interests (as detailed in the table below). This
   includes, for example, investigating and responding to a report made through
   our DMCA takedown procedure to protect a Creator's intellectual property
   rights.
 * Compliance with legal obligations: As a global business, we may process
   personal data to comply with applicable law, rules and regulations in the
   locations where we operate.
 * Task carried out in the public interest: We may process personal data as
   necessary for a task carried out in the public interest. This may include,
   for example, reporting illegal activity to relevant law enforcement
   authorities, other governmental agencies and non- governmental organisations.

unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that
reason is compatible with the original purpose.

12. OBTAINING YOUR PERSONAL DATA

We collect your personal data from the following categories of sources:

 * Directly from you: When you provide it to us directly to open an account and
   use the Services, when you update your personal data in your account, or by
   corresponding with us (e.g. User Data, Account Data).
 * Automatically or indirectly from you: For example, through and as a result of
   your use of the Services (e.g. Transaction Data, Technical Data, Usage Data).
 * From our service providers: For example, where permitted by applicable law,
   we receive Third-Party Onboarding Data and certain Technical Data from our
   third-party age and identity verification providers.


13. SHARING YOUR PERSONAL DATA

We share personal data with the following categories of third parties:

 * Our third-party service providers: Such as our IT, payment processing,
   customer support, content and text moderation, and age and identity
   verification / age estimation service providers. The lawful basis we rely on
   for sharing personal data with these recipients is that it is necessary for
   our legitimate interests (namely the receipt of services to support business
   functionality).
 * Our professional advisers: Such as our legal advisors, bankers, auditors,
   accountants, consultants, and insurers. Our professional advisors will
   process personal data as necessary to provide their services to us. The
   lawful basis we rely on for sharing personal data with these recipients is
   that it is necessary for our legitimate interests (namely the receipt of
   professional services).
 * Corporate: Relevant third parties in the event of a possible sale, merger,
   acquisition, business reorganisation or group restructuring exercise. The
   lawful basis we rely on for sharing personal data with these recipients is
   that it is necessary for our and the relevant third parties' legitimate
   interests (namely assessing and putting into effect potential transactions).
 * Our group companies: For the centralised coordination and management of our
   business, in accordance with the purposes set out at Section 9 (categories of
   personal data). These recipients will process personal data in the same way
   as set out in this Policy. The lawful basis we rely on for sharing personal
   data with these recipients is that it is necessary for our legitimate
   interests (namely coordinating the global operations of our business).
 * Relevant authorities, regulators and organisations: In response to requests
   from governmental authorities (including law enforcement and tax
   authorities), regulators, and certain non-governmental organisations (such as
   the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC)). These
   recipients will use your personal data in the performance of their
   regulatory, law enforcement or otherwise charitable or not-for-profit role.
   The lawful basis we rely on for sharing personal data with these recipients
   is that the processing is either necessary to comply with a legal obligation
   to which we are subject, or necessary for our, or a third-party's, legitimate
   interests, or where it is in the interests of the wider public to do so
   (namely reporting illegal content to, and assisting with requests from, such
   authorities, regulators and organisations, to protect the safety of our users
   and third parties).


14. INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS

We share your personal data within our group companies and to our third parties,
as set out at Section 13 (sharing your personal data).

In some circumstances, this will involve transferring your data outside the UK,
the EEA and Switzerland. We make those transfers: (i) to countries that have
been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data; (ii)
using appropriate safeguards; or (iii) where otherwise authorised by applicable
law.

Please contact us using the contact details set out at Section 19 (assistance
and contact information) if you would like further information on the specific
mechanism used by us when transferring your personal data outside the UK, the
EEA and Switzerland.

data. You may exercise these rights by contacting us using the contact details
set out at Section 19 (assistance and contact information).

Under certain circumstances and subject to certain exemptions, you have the
right to:

 * Withdraw your consent to the processing of your personal data: Please note
   that withdrawing your consent will not affect the lawfulness of any
   processing carried out before you withdraw your consent.
 * Request to know or access to your personal data: You may receive a copy of
   the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully
   processing it.
 * Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you: You may
   correct any incomplete or inaccurate personal data we hold about you.
 * Request deletion / erasure of your personal data: You may ask us to delete or
   remove personal data where there is no legitimate reason for us continuing to
   process it. You also may ask us to delete or remove your personal data where
   you have exercised your right to object to processing (see below). Please
   note that we may not always be able to comply with your request of deletion /
   erasure for specific legal reasons.
 * Request the restriction of processing of your personal data: You may ask us
   to suspend the processing of personal data about you, for example if you want
   us to establish its accuracy or the reason for processing it.
 * Request the transfer of some sections of your personal data to another party.

You also have the right to object to processing of your personal data where we
are relying on a legitimate interest for the processing and there is something
about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on
this ground.

We do not process personal data that is subject to solely automated
decision-making, where that decision-making is likely to have a legal or
similarly significant effect on you.

You also have the right:

 * To lodge a complaint with a data protection regulator. For example, in the
   UK, this is the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) and in Switzerland,
   this is the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC). If
   you are resident in the EEA, you may wish to contact your local country or
   state-specific data protection regulator.
 * Depending on your location, to not receive retaliatory or discriminatory
   treatment in connection with a request to exercise the above rights, or
   appeal a decision we have made in connection with your privacy rights
   request. All appeal requests should be submitted by contacting us using the
   contact details set out at Section 19 (assistance and contact information).


16. EXERCISING YOUR RIGHTS

If you would like to exercise your rights set out at Section 15 (your rights
regarding personal data), you may do so by contacting us using the contact
details set out at Section 19 (assistance and contact information).

If you submit the request yourself, please ensure that your request contains
sufficient information to allow us to confirm your identity and properly
understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

In order to verify your identity, we may at times need to request additional
personal data from you, taking into consideration our relationship with you and
the sensitivity of your request. In certain circumstances, we may decline a
privacy rights request, particularly where we are unable to verify your
identity.

If your request is made by a third-party authorised by you, we will also require
proof that the third-party has permission to submit the request on your behalf
(such as a signed document evidencing that the third-party has authority to make
the request).


17. CHOICES AND CONTROL OVER YOUR PERSONAL DATA

Modifying and deleting your personal data: If you have an account with us, you
may update your account settings on our Website. Please note that changes to
your settings may require some time to take effect.

Access to device information: You may control the Services' access to your
Technical Data through your "Settings" app on your device. For instance, you can
withdraw permission for the Services to access your network devices and
geolocation.

Email notification opt-out: We currently do not send emails for direct marketing
purposes. However, we do send email notifications which are related to your

of the personal data we receive and otherwise process in connection with the
referral program by considering the expense we incur in collecting and
processing the personal data, as well as the expenses related to facilitating
the referral program.
