Creator Consent & Media License

Last updated: July 31 2025

1) Visibility & Safety Context (Summary)

  • No public explicit content: Explicit/18+ content never appears on public‑facing pages (Explore, public profiles, chat previews). Non‑explicit profile elements may appear publicly (e.g., avatar, banner) if compliant with our Standards.
     

  • Blur‑gating: 18+ product thumbnails use blur protection; full content is viewable only after purchase by an age‑verified consumer.
     

  • Pre‑screening: All uploads are scanned automatically; flagged/high‑risk items (including 18+) require human review before they can be viewed by anyone.
     

 
2) The Consent & License You Grant
By checking the required boxes and clicking “I agree to the Creator Consent & Media License” you grant Finsta the following permissions within the Platform and for compliance/safety:
2.1 Scope (Required)
A worldwide, non‑exclusive, royalty‑free, transferable, sublicensable license to host, store, transcode, analyze (for safety/moderation), display, perform, and otherwise process:

  • Your images, video, audio, and text that you upload (the “Media”), and
     

  • Your name, display name/handle, likeness, and voice (your “Likeness”) as they appear in the Media,
     

solely to:

  • operate and provide the Platform (including previews, product pages, in‑app discovery/placement, and delivery to purchasers/recipients),
     

  • enforce our Standards (including automated + human moderation and investigation), and
     

  • comply with legal, card‑brand, and partner obligations.
     

2.2 Visibility Clarification

  • Public areas: Only non‑explicit profile elements (e.g., avatar, banner, bio text) may appear publicly if compliant.
     

  • Gated areas: 18+ Media and previews are blur‑gated and visible only to age‑verified users inside Finsta.
     

2.3 Duration
This license lasts while your account or Media remains on the Platform and, following deletion or closure, for the period reasonably necessary to: (i) complete ongoing transactions, chargeback/fraud reviews, or investigations; (ii) meet legal retention/audit duties; and (iii) maintain backups.
2.4 Promotions Inside the Platform (Required)
You permit Finsta to use your non‑explicit profile elements (display name/handle, avatar, banner) and compliant product thumbnails inside the Platform for in‑app discovery, search results, and curated placements.
2.5 Optional: Off‑Platform Marketing (Separate Box; Optional)
If you choose to opt‑in, you grant Finsta permission to use your non‑explicit profile elements and selected Media off‑platform (e.g., Finsta website landing pages, social channels, paid ads) to promote you or the Platform. You can withdraw this optional consent at any time by contacting us (see section 23 Notices & Contact in our T&C’s. )
 
3) Your Representations & Warranties (Required)
You confirm that:

  1. You are at least 18 (and of majority age in your location) and will complete ID/age verification with our third party providers e.g., Yoti or Ondato when prompted to do so.
     

  2. You are the person depicted in the Media you upload or you have written releases and age/ID records for all other persons depicted, which you will provide to Finsta on request.
     

  3. The Media is lawful, consensual, and compliant with Finsta’s Standards as outlined in our T&C’s which you accepted upon sign-up (no CSAM, non‑consensual content, trafficking, or other prohibited material).
     

  4. You will not upload Media that infringes others’ rights (copyright, privacy, publicity) and you have all rights needed to grant the license in Section 2.
     

  5. You understand uploads are pre‑screened and may be delayed or withheld pending review; violations may result in removal and account action.
     

 
4) Consent Management, Withdrawal & Appeals

  • Managing consent: You can remove specific Media at any time via the app; you may also withdraw optional off‑platform marketing consent by contacting us (see section 23 Notices & Contact in our T&C’s. )
     

  • Effect of withdrawal: Withdrawal stops future uses. It does not undo (a) deliveries already made to purchasers, (b) necessary retention for legal, safety, or chargeback reasons, or (c) archival backups.
     

  • Periodic reconfirmation: Finsta may prompt you to re‑affirm consent periodically; failure to reconfirm may pause uploads/payouts until completed.
     

  • Depicted‑person appeals: If a person claims they are depicted without valid consent, we will review under Part B of our Complaints & Content Removal Policy and, where there is disagreement, allow resolution by a neutral body.
     

 
5) Data & Safety Processing
You acknowledge and consent to Finsta processing your Media and Likeness for:

  • Moderation & safety: automated scanning (e.g., AWS Rekognition, text/metadata analysis) and human review;
     

  • Age‑gating & blur‑previews;
     

  • Fraud/chargeback prevention (e.g., device fingerprinting, velocity checks); and
     

  • Compliance with applicable law and partner rules.
