ModelCentro is integrated with Yoti and PrivateAV, both fully certified age verification solutions, in order to comply with global age regulations. These services are designed to help our creators sell their content worry-free while keeping user privacy and security at the forefront.
The Global Landscape
Age Verification Systems have rapidly transitioned from simple check-box confirmations to mandatory, tech-driven identity checks due to aggressive regulatory crackdowns globally.
United States (State-Level Laws): Multiple states - including Texas, Louisiana, Virginia, Utah, and Arkansas - have enacted laws requiring platforms hosting adult content, like ModelCentro, to verify user age using government-issued IDs or bank records.
United Kingdom (Online Safety Act): Under the Online Safety Act, Ofcom enforces strict regulations requiring commercial services (social media, adult content) to implement robust age assurance methods.
-
European Union & Other Regions:
EU (Digital Services Act & GDPR): Regulators require platforms such as ModelCentro to verify minor status while adhering strictly to data minimization and GDPR compliance.
France (Arcom / SREN Law): France requires adult content platforms to enforce age gates using "double anonymity" systems to prevent tracking user viewing habits back to real identities.
-
German Youth Protection (Jugendschutz): States that anyone in Germany who purchases adult content must have their age verified beforehand. Under this law, German creators can be held liable if they are caught selling content without the proper protection. Aside from legal proceedings, performers have been known to receive massive fines.
Yoti and PrivateAV - What Are They
Yoti is a certified age verification system that estimates age using secure AI facial recognition via a quick selfie scan. In the rare case that a fan’s age cannot be verified via the facial scan, a standard government ID verification backup option is available.
Yoti charges a one-time verification fee of $1.50 for the check. Once completed, age is quickly confirmed before any content purchase can take place. Be aware that the verification fee is non-refundable. You have as many attempts to pass the verification as you wish.
Photos are processed in real-time to estimate age and are deleted immediately after; Yoti never stores facial biometric data.
PrivateAV is an age-verification solution built specifically around privacy and ease of use. It utilizes AI facial estimation alongside document/liveness checks to quickly verify maturity without disrupting the checkout flow.
PrivateAV is 100% free for fans located in Australia, the United Kingdom, Brazil, France, and all US states.
Operating under strict zero-retention standards, PrivateAV processes data ephemerally in memory and deletes it within milliseconds. It sends a simple binary signal ("Over 18") back to the platform without retaining any personal data or linking user identities to their viewing habits.
Which Verification Provider Will You Use
ModelCentro currently uses the following setup:
Your location |
Verification provider |
|---|---|
Australia |
PrivateAV |
United Kingdom |
PrivateAV |
Brazil |
PrivateAV |
France |
PrivateAV |
United States - all states |
PrivateAV |

So, for example, if you access the chosen site from the US, you will be directed to PrivateAV, while another fan accessing it from Germany will use Yoti.
You don't need to choose the provider yourself, and ModelCentro takes care of this automatically.
How To Access the Site's Content
If you visit a website and see all content blurred - even before trying to complete a simple purchase - it is because you are accessing the site from a region where Age Verification Systems (AVS) are strictly required by law.
ModelCentro automatically blurs page previews and restricts content access for visitors in mandated regions until your age is confirmed.
You only need to complete the quick verification process once on that specific website. Once verified as 18+, the site content unlocks permanently for that user account, and you can browse and make purchases without repeating the check.
