Last Updated Aug 23, 2026

1. Purpose and Scope
3rdShiftVideo/Nookies is committed to preventing minors from accessing age-restricted content and to complying with all applicable federal, state, and international laws governing age verification for adult content. This policy outlines the standards, procedures, and safeguards implemented to verify that users accessing adult content are of legal age.
This policy applies to all users, platforms, websites, applications, and services operated by 3rdShiftVideo/Nookies that provide access to age-restricted or adult-oriented content.

2. Legal Compliance
3rdShiftVideo/Nookies complies with all applicable age-verification laws and regulations in jurisdictions where such requirements exist. Users must be at least 18 years old or the age of majority in their jurisdiction, whichever is higher, to access adult content.
As legislation continues to evolve, 3rdShiftVideo/Nookies monitors regulatory developments and updates its age-verification practices as required to remain compliant.

3. Objective
The objective of this policy is to:

• Prevent access to adult content by minors
• Comply with U.S. state and international laws requiring strict age verification
• Implement reasonable, effective, and privacy-conscious age-verification measures
• Balance regulatory compliance with user privacy and data protection obligations

Additional states, countries, or jurisdictions may be added as legislation is enacted or amended.

5. Age Verification Methods
3rdShiftVideo/Nookies utilizes third-party age-verification providers to conduct age checks in a secure and compliant manner. As of the date of this policy, 3rdShiftVideo/Nookies currently utilizes the following third-party age-verification providers:

• Yoti

Additional or alternative comparable, compliant third-party verification services may be added or substituted as needed.

Verification methods may include one or more of the following:

• Automated age estimation or facial age analysis technology
• Other lawful age-verification methods permitted under applicable regulations

The chosen method may vary depending on jurisdictional requirements and regulatory guidance.

6. Verification Procedures

• Users accessing adult content from covered jurisdictions are required to successfully complete age verification prior to accessing age-restricted content.
• Access to adult content is restricted until verification is completed and confirmed.
• Users who fail, decline, or otherwise do not complete the age-verification process will be denied access to age-restricted content.
• Re-verification may be required periodically or if required by law or regulatory guidance.

7. Data Minimization and Privacy Protection
3rdShiftVideo/Nookies is committed to protecting user privacy and minimizing data collection. Accordingly:

• Only minimal verification metadata (such as date of verification and pass/fail status) is retained.
• Government-issued ID images and biometric data, if collected, are deleted promptly after verification unless retention is required by applicable law or regulation.
• Age-verification data is not used for marketing or profiling purposes.
• All data handling practices comply with applicable data protection and privacy laws.

8. Enforcement and Non-Compliance
Failure to comply with age-verification requirements will result in denial of access to age-restricted content. 3rdShiftVideo/Nookies reserves the right to suspend or terminate access for users who attempt to bypass, manipulate, or misuse age-verification systems.

9. Policy Updates
This policy may be updated periodically to reflect changes in laws, regulations, technology, or business practices. Continued use of 3rdShiftVideo/Nookies services constitutes acceptance of the most current version of this policy.
