Age Verification and Safety

Last updated: 17 March 2026

Sonder is an adults only platform designed for users aged 18 and over. We take age verification, user safety, and lawful content standards seriously to help maintain a responsible and secure online environment.

This page explains how age verification works and the steps we take to protect the platform and our community.

Adults Only Platform

Sonder is strictly limited to individuals aged 18 years or older.

Anyone who creates an account, accesses Restricted Adult Content, or monetises content on the platform must meet the applicable age requirements.

Accounts found to belong to individuals under 18 will be permanently removed and reported where required by law.

Age & Identity Verification

Certain features on Sonder require identity or age verification. These may include:

Accessing restricted adult content

creating or monetising adult content

receiving payouts from digital content transactions

accessing certain creator features.

To complete verification, users may be asked to confirm their age or identity through a trusted third party verification provider.

Sonder uses secure verification technology provided by Yoti to confirm age and identity when required.

During this process, users may be asked to submit a government issued ID and a selfie or facial verification check.

How Your Identity Information Is Handled

Identity verification is performed directly through our verification provider.

This means:

Identity documents are submitted through a secure verification system

verification is processed by the provider

Sonder receives only confirmation that verification was successful.

Sonder does not store copies of identity documents or biometric facial data used during verification unless required for legal, safety, or regulatory reasons.

More information about how personal data is handled can be found in our Privacy Policy.

Creator Verification

Creators who publish or monetise adult content may be required to complete identity verification before certain features are enabled.

This helps ensure that:

All creators are adults

creators are who they claim to be

monetisation systems are protected from fraud or impersonation.

Creators may also be required to verify payout information or complete additional verification checks depending on payment provider requirements.

Age Verification for People Appearing in Content

Creators are responsible for ensuring that every identifiable person appearing in uploaded content:

Is at least 18 years old

has consented to the creation and distribution of the content

has authorised its upload to the platform.

Sonder may request documentation confirming age and consent where necessary to comply with safety requirements or legal obligations.

Failure to provide required evidence may result in content removal or account suspension.

Preventing Harmful or Illegal Content

Sonder does not allow:

Any depiction of minors in sexual or nude contexts

child exploitation material

non consensual intimate imagery

impersonation or deceptive sexual content

unlawful content under Australian law.

Content or accounts violating these rules may be removed immediately and reported to relevant authorities where required.

Reporting Safety Concerns

If you believe content violates platform rules or involves illegal or unsafe material, please report it immediately.

Reports can be made using the in platform reporting tools or by contacting our safety team.

Email: support@entersonder.com

Reports relating to illegal content or safety risks are prioritised.

To maintain a safe environment for users, Sonder uses a combination of:

Age verification systems

We continuously review and improve our safety systems in line with Australian law and online safety standards.
