Why verification matters in NYC
NYC is saturated with ads, reposts, and bait-and-switch offers. Verification is our way of signalling that a profile belongs to a real, independent provider who has deliberately chosen to be here — not a scraped ad or a proxy for an agency.
What we actually check
We run basic checks to confirm that the same person controls the images, contact details, and booking info on a profile. This can include short video clips, selfie comparisons, or verified social links. We do not keep copies longer than needed to complete the review, and we do not share your screening materials with clients.
What we don’t promise
Verification is not a background check, legal clearance, or a guarantee of compatibility. We cannot promise client behaviour, personal chemistry, or that every interaction will be perfect. We can promise a consistent structure: clear profiles, no fake agencies pretending to be independents, and a transparent removal/edit process.
How to request edits or removal
If you need to pause, change, or fully remove your profile, contact support from the same email or handle you used during setup. Include your profile link and what you want changed. In most cases, simple edits happen quickly, and full removals are prioritised. Your boundaries are more important than our traffic.
