Key findings
Summary
OnlyFans' terms include a broad, perpetual, sublicensable license over Creator content, discretionary account/content suspension powers (including without notice), and non-refundable Wallet Credits. Data collection includes government ID, biometric-adjacent face recognition data (processed by third parties), and financial data, though the company explicitly states it does not sell personal data or use cross-context behavioral advertising. Dispute resolution relies on mandatory pre-suit mediation notice and court venue clauses rather than binding arbitration.
