How VettedVault works

Everything worth knowing before you trust us, with a booking, or with your identity. Plain answers, split by who is asking.

For clients

The short version, for clients

What the badge actually means

Every advertiser passed a government photo ID check, a liveness test, and a human comparing their photos to the ID. The badge is dated, expires after 12 months, and a lapsed listing is unpublished, so if you can see it, it is current.

How verification works

Contacting an advertiser

Read the profile first, many advertisers state screening steps, deposit terms and booking notes, and following them is what a good first message looks like. Bookings and payments happen between you and her; the platform is never in the middle.

Safety on VettedVault

Reading availability and touring

The green Now signal is set by the advertiser and switches itself off when it expires, it is never stale. A tour chip means she is visiting another city on those dates, with her one profile travelling with her.

Who is touring now

If something feels wrong

Every listing was moderated by a person before it appeared, and reports go to a person too. If you believe someone is underage, coerced, or not who the badge says they are, report it, that report is the highest-priority thing on the platform.

For clients

Questions clients ask, answered in full

What does the Verified badge mean?

That a real, consenting adult proved their identity: a government photo ID, a liveness check, and a human confirming the person in the photos is the person on the ID. It is a statement about who they are, not an endorsement of the ad, which advertisers write themselves.

Why does the badge show a date?

Because an undated "verified" means nothing, it could be years old. Ours shows the month it was issued, expires after 12 months, and an expired listing is unpublished until it is renewed. If you can see a badge, it is current.

Are the photos checked?

At verification, a human compares the advertising photos to the ID, photos that do not match are rejected. Every photo added later is also reviewed before it appears publicly.

Do you vet the services in an ad?

No. We verify identity, that the advertiser is a real, consenting adult. The ad is their own words, and we never curate, endorse or vouch for its content. That honesty is the point: a platform that pretended to vet everything would be making a promise nobody can keep.

What does "Available now" mean?

The advertiser set themselves available, and the signal expires on its own, usually within hours. It cannot go stale: if the pill is showing, it is true right now, which is why it is the only animated thing on the site.

What does the plane chip on a photo mean?

She is touring, visiting another city between those dates. Advertisers have one profile each, so touring is how the same verified person appears in a second city without pretending to be a second person.

Why do advertisers ask for screening or a deposit?

Because meeting strangers carries risk in both directions, and screening is how experienced advertisers manage theirs. Each sets her own rules, read the booking notes and follow them. Deposits are between you and her; the platform never handles bookings or payments.

Do I need an account to browse or contact anyone?

No. Browsing is anonymous, contact details are on the profile, and we do not have client accounts. Where reviews are enabled, leaving one requires a verified contact method, that is the one exception.

Is "verified" here the same as on other sites?

Usually not. On many sites the word means an age check, a photo check or a phone check. Here it means identity: the person in the ad is the person on a government photo ID, confirmed by a liveness check and by a human. The verification page explains the difference, and why the badge carries a date.

I think something is wrong with a profile. What do I do?

Use the Report page and say what you saw. Reports about someone being underage, coerced or impersonated are treated as emergencies and go straight to a person. You do not need an account or a reason you can prove, that is our job.

Why are some photos hidden on UK pages?

UK law requires age assurance before adult images are shown. Until that check is in place, explicit photos stay hidden on UK pages, the profiles are real and complete; the tiles are covered, not missing.

For advertisers

The short version, for advertisers

Verification, and what happens to your ID

One check: a government photo ID plus a liveness selfie, through a specialist provider. We keep a yes, the month it happened, and a one-way code that only stops banned people re-registering. The document and the images are destroyed once the check completes.

How verification works

Going live

Your ad publishes when five things are true: verification is current, at least one photo is approved, your bio meets the minimum, your city is open, and nothing a moderator sent back is still waiting on you. A person reviews every listing before it appears, nobody buys their way past that.

Editing, pausing, leaving

Edits never take your live ad down, the new version is reviewed while the old one stays up. Pausing is one tap and resuming needs no re-moderation. Your data exports in one click, any time, including if your account is ever banned.

What free means here

The free Verified tier is permanent and works in every city. Your search position never decays, there are no bump credits, and no one can pay to push you off the bottom of the page. Paid tiers add reach, they never subtract yours.

Pricing, all of it

For advertisers

Questions advertisers ask, answered in full

What do I need to get verified?

A government photo ID, licence, passport or proof-of-age card, and a phone camera for a liveness selfie. The check runs through a specialist provider and usually takes minutes. Verification is free, and there is no paid way to skip or fast-track it, the badge means the same thing for everyone.

What happens to my ID afterwards?

It is destroyed once the check completes. We keep three things: that you passed, the month you passed, and a one-way code used only to stop banned people re-registering. No document, no images, nothing a breach could leak, and nothing on your public profile ever shows your legal name.

When does my ad go live?

When five things are true: your verification is current, at least one photo is approved, your bio meets the minimum, your city is open, and nothing a moderator sent back is still waiting on you. A person reviews every new listing before it appears.

Why can I only have one listing?

Because verification is per person, and two listings would present one verified human as two, the exact thing the badge exists to make impossible. Touring is the answer to advertising in another city: same profile, second city, honest dates.

Will editing my profile take it offline?

No, never. Your edit becomes a revision that a moderator reviews while your live ad stays up unchanged. If the revision is approved it swaps in; if it is sent back, your live ad still never went anywhere.

What does the free tier include?

The verified badge, your photos, and being searchable in every city, permanently. Your baseline search position never decays, there are no bump credits, and paid tiers only ever add reach on top. The day being findable costs money is the day this model has failed, so it is built to never come.

Can I pause my listing?

Yes, in one tap, with no penalty. Your verification stays valid while paused, and resuming needs no re-moderation, your content was already approved and has not changed.

What can take my listing down, and what gets an account banned?

Lapsed verification or a closed city unpublishes you automatically and reversibly: fix the cause and you are back, no re-review. Content that breaks the rules comes back to you as a required revision. Banning is reserved for the things that are never negotiable, fraud, impersonation, or any indication of coercion or someone underage, and it is permanent.

Who can see my stats?

You, and only you. Advertiser statistics are collected and stored by us alone, never Google Analytics, never a third party a vendor could terminate. They are your business records, not our product.

Can I take my data and leave?

Any time, in one click, including if your account has been banned. Deleting your account removes your public profile and personal details; where the law requires a record of moderation decisions, it is kept with your personal details stripped out.

Why does the UK signup ask for extra consent?

UK data protection law treats some of what a listing contains, information touching your sex life, and optional fields like ethnicity, as special category data needing your explicit permission to publish. The consent names exactly what it covers, the sensitive fields are optional forever, and you can withdraw by clearing them or deleting your listing.

For advertisers

Writing your ad

Your listing is the page a client reads before deciding to contact you. This is what passes review, and what a moderator is actually looking at.

The tagline is your voice, not your address

The line under your name on every card is the first thing anyone reads. Say something true about how you work, in your own words. Your suburb, your rates and your availability already have their own places on the card, so repeating them here spends the one line that is yours on things the card already says.

A bio that passes

The minimum is a few honest paragraphs: who you are, how you like to work, how you screen, and how to reach you. Write it the way you would say it. Lists of services belong in the services section, not the bio, and anything copied from another profile is sent back.

Photos that pass

Recent, of you, and yours. A person compares your photos to your ID at verification and reviews every photo you add afterwards. Photos carrying another photographer's watermark, contact details written on them, or taken from anywhere else are refused. We add our own watermark and strip location data from every image before it is shown.

Rates and services

Rates are yours to set and are shown as you enter them. Services are chosen from the platform's list, and free text is not accepted anywhere: the list is what keeps every listing readable, and moderated the same way as every other.

What the moderator checks, and what she does not

She checks that the photos are you, that the words break no rule, and that nothing identifies another person. She does not judge your prices, your writing, or what you offer. When something is sent back, the note says exactly what to change, and your live listing stays up while you fix it.

Still stuck

Ask a person

The contact form goes to the same people who moderate the platform, not a ticket robot. If it is urgent and about someone's safety, use the report page instead; that path is faster on purpose.
