Who we are
Pout is a creator management agency. [OWNER: legal name of the data controller, registered address, ICO registration number and a contact email — required by UK GDPR before launch]
What we collect
From a quick enquiry
- The name you want to be called, your email address and the country you are based in.
- Your date of birth, so we can check you are 18 or over.
- A profile picture, which you confirm is of you and not revealing, the platform you use and, if you add it, a social handle or link.
From a full application
- Your platforms, how long your page has run, the time you have to create and, if you choose to tell us, a rough earnings range.
- Your niche, whether you show your face, the kind of content you are comfortable creating and the languages you speak.
- Social handles and links you choose to share, and a rough follower range.
- Sample photos, which you confirm are of you, owned by you, taken when you were 18 or over and not revealing or explicit.
- The services you are interested in, your goals and any limits you tell us about.
Collected automatically
- The version of the consent wording you agreed to and the time we received it, recorded by our server.
- A reference number that links your enquiry and application, if you send both.
- The time you started the form, used only to filter out automated spam.
- The country your connection comes from, worked out by our hosting provider from your IP address. We use it to block regions where we do not operate. We do not keep your IP address.
- Basic campaign information, such as which advert or link brought you to the site, and how you told us you heard about us.
How we protect your photos
Before any photo leaves your device, your browser resizes it and saves a fresh copy, which removes hidden details such as the location where it was taken and the camera used. Photos are only ever used to assess your enquiry or application. They are never published, shared or used for promotion without a separate written agreement.
Why this information is sensitive
An application tells us that you create, or plan to create, adult content. UK data protection law can treat information about a person’s sex life as special category data, which needs extra protection. We therefore ask for your explicit consent before using it, and we keep what we collect to the minimum we need.
[NEEDS HUMAN SIGN-OFF: lawful basis (Article 6) and special category condition (Article 9) confirmed by a solicitor]
How we use it
- To read and assess your application.
- To contact you about your application.
- To keep a record that you gave consent.
We do not sell your information, we do not share it with other agencies and we do not use it for marketing without separate permission.
Who can see it
Only the people at Pout who review applications, and the service providers that host our website and store applications on our behalf. [OWNER: list processors, e.g. hosting, form storage, email — and where the data is stored]
If any provider stores data outside the UK, we will say where and which safeguards protect it. [OWNER: international transfers and safeguards]
Age checks
We only work with people aged 18 or over. We check your date of birth when you apply, and we confirm your age before any work starts. If we find that anyone under 18 has contacted us, we stop using their details and follow our under-18 procedure, which may include reporting to the appropriate authorities.

Where we work
We only accept enquiries from creators in the countries we serve, and this website is not available in some regions where adult subscription platforms are restricted.
How long we keep it
[OWNER: retention period for enquiries, applications and photos that do not go ahead, and for creators who join]
Your rights
You can ask to see the information we hold about you, ask us to correct or delete it, withdraw your consent at any time and complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ico.org.uk) if you are unhappy with how we have handled it.
