Privacy is not secrecy about the existence of the work. It is control over personal information, identity documents, accounts, boundaries and where content can travel.
Protect identity documents
Only submit verification documents through the official secured process. Confirm the domain, use a private device and avoid sending identification to an unknown recruiter’s personal chat. Ask who stores copies and how they are deleted.
Separate public and private identity
Consider a dedicated email, username and payment account. Remove location metadata from personal photos. Avoid showing mail, building numbers, workplace details or distinctive documents in the background.
Control account recovery
Know which email and phone number receive password resets. Use unique passwords and multifactor authentication when available. A creator who cannot recover an account does not truly control it.
Consent must remain specific and reversible
Agreeing to broadcast does not mean agreeing to every request. A studio, monitor or viewer should not consent on the performer’s behalf. The ability to pause, leave or refuse without punishment is a basic safety condition.
Document agreements
Keep copies of contracts, payout statements, schedules and important messages. Written records can clarify what was promised and help when seeking support.
Know where to report
Keep official platform support, local emergency resources and trusted contacts accessible. A studio reporting channel is not enough when the complaint concerns the studio itself.
