YouPorn adds a Data Retention Schedule for models and co-performers
The terms now include a schedule listing what data is held about content creators and people appearing in their content, and for how long. Government ID copies are deleted within 7 days, tax data is kept 6 years, and most other data is kept while the account is active, often plus one year after deletion. Retention may be extended for legal or enforcement reasons.
Taken from you
- Retention of identity, consent and derived ID data for one year after account deletion
- Model accounts count as inactive after 3 years with no login and no views, or on a deletion request, downgrade to a regular User account, or permanent ban. Most data is kept until then.
- Co-performer data kept until one year after all associated content is removed
Won back
- Clear published retention periods for each category of model and co-performer data
- Government ID copies deleted within 7 days of verification
- Co-performers can request deletion of their information
