// Verification · how the room gets keys

The bouncer is real.

Every creator and every member is verified by a human and a machine. Pseudonymous on the public side; KYC-verified on our side. Here's exactly what we check, why, and what we never store.

// Creators · five-step admission

We accept 4.2% of applications.

01 /
ID + 18+

Government ID through a third-party verifier (Persona). We see a hashed token, not the document.

02 /
Tone interview

A 30-minute call with our editorial team to talk about voice, audience, content boundaries.

03 /
Sample portfolio

Five posts in your draft folder — photos, voice notes, polls — reviewed for tone, not aesthetics.

04 /
Reference

One existing Hunnies creator vouches, or you can publish a verification post on another platform.

05 /
Room opens

Free follow goes live first. Paid tiers unlock once we see how you correspond. Usually 7–14 days.

// What we keep

Encrypted & salted.

  • Government ID hash (not the image)
  • Date-of-birth proof for 18+
  • Tax form (W-9 / W-8BEN)
  • Bank routing for payouts
  • Encrypted card token (PCI vault)
// What we never store

Not in our database.

  • Your real name alongside your handle
  • Your photo ID image (deleted after verification)
  • A list of who you follow, shared with anyone
  • Card numbers or crypto wallet keys
  • Conversation contents in plaintext
