    Default Is my personal info safe @ SM/LJ

    Hi all, I'm new here and recently got into camming

    It's sort of a bit too late since I've submitted my documents few months ago before reading this forum and the safety/ID precautions thread :/

    So basically I used an old DL's as my ID (I'm in Canada) but the address on it is still important. I didn't know about blocking the address, but doesn't matter anyways since my check is sent there..

    I'm more worried about how on that thread, it says they can resell your content with that compliance thing and your ID goes along the ride? But what content, I didn't upload any photos or vidoes, I just stream. Do they record the streams or something?

    Are they going to sell my account to some other company/people?

    I hope SM and LJ is pretty safe, though I think I will resign from using LJ. Stalking is another matter, I'm not sure if it is possible for custies to get a hold of your info via hacking or some other sneaky methods?

    Any info would be appreciated

    Havent read the thread but it sounds like it takes into account worst case scenarios and its probably ok to ignore for the most part. Dont let some posts on forums from random people scare monger you, take in all the info and use common sense. Also remember not everything in a forum is fact, take it all with a pinch of salt.

    LJ and SM are fine for uploading docs to for work.

    I wouldnt worry about hacking etc , theres no more hacking on LJ and SM than there is on Paypal or your banks website.

    The companies dont sell your account, they do however hold the rights over the uploaded content, this is perfectly normal and just because they hold the right doesnt mean they will use it, its extremely rare for SM or LJ to sell any content onwards, they have most likely never done it.

    They have the clause so they can produce white labels to help you gain more money so I think of it as a positive.

    Thanks PrincessJenny

    I'm really just more worried about the passing my ID around to a less reputable site that would not take care of my info. The actual recordings or whatever, I am not that worried if it goes to other sites or people. I want to protect myself and my family first and foremost, and I don't want anyone showing up at my address or my previous address looking for me.

    Also, do you know about SM recording your pvt shows and selling them without giving you any cut, or how does that even work? I've read here you have to sign up with a member account to see any videos they recorded you?

    Yes I believe thats correct about being a client on SM you get to see recorded videos, I think theres a minimum spend in order to access it though?

    Overall SM is one of the best business plans in the adult cam industry, while we may not see a direct cut of videos they may show people it is advertising for us. Even if they show it on tube sites etc they wouldnt do it without a link back to SM which means more money for us.

    I dont think SM sell the content as such, like on a dvd or anything, just use the content to get more clients coming to SM.

    If you stick to the main sites this will minimise anything happening with the ID's, LJ and SM probably have hundreds of signups perday with no incidents so you should be fairly safe.

    SM sells/distributes the content alone - as far as I am aware, it just gets distributed through their own white sites, not to anyone else. If it did, they would just be selling the content, not the personal information of the models. You should be safe.

    Like PJ said, there is always a chance, but that is the same chance of your info being passed along from ANY site - bank sites, online shopping accounts....heck, ICBC could have their info hacked!
    I take cash, debit or credit. I just don't take shit.

    Just remember to add a banner to the bottom of your shows for some advertising for when they do get pirated.
