The U.S. has seen a rise in state-level legislation mandating age verification on platforms hosting adult or age-restricted content — including Toecial.
Why Age Verification Is Required
State governments across the United States have enacted laws requiring commercial digital platforms that distribute age-restricted material to verify that visitors residing within their state boundaries are at least 18 years of age before accessing restricted media.
To comply with these statutes while protecting user privacy and avoiding unnecessary friction, Toecial provides public previews and browsing, prompting visitors from affected jurisdictions only when they attempt to interact with or unlock Exclusive content.
Which Locations Are Affected?
The following states have already passed legislation regarding age verification:
If you are accessing Toecial from one of the above states (or from future jurisdictions and U.S. territories as applicable legislation takes effect), you will be prompted to verify your age when accessing exclusive media. You can also complete age or creator verification in your account settings.
Privacy & Data Protection
We prioritize member privacy and employ zero-retention age estimation and verification workflows:
- Zero Long-term Storage: Didit processes verification requests securely and does not store your selfie or raw ID document for member age verifications. Once the check completes, the raw document data is deleted.
- No Sale or Sharing of Data: Your verification information is never sold, leased, or shared with third-party advertisers or data brokers.
- Minimal Access: Toecial receives only an encrypted verification token confirming the 18+ threshold is met, without retaining biometric models or raw government identity photographs on public servers.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to verify just to browse?
No. Public feeds, previews, and artist profiles remain viewable without verification. The prompt only appears when interacting with Exclusive or age-restricted media.
What if I am traveling?
State verification requirements are based on the geographic location of your internet connection when browsing. If you travel outside an affected jurisdiction, the prompt will not be triggered.
