Protecting Your Identity and Safety As a Webcam Model
January 28th, 2012
Working as a webcam model, either as a newbie or an experienced webcam model, there should be two main concerns. Firstly which site will give you the best earnings and secondly which webcam sites protect your identity and are concerned for your safety in general.
The vast majority of webcam models that have contacted me are almost always concerned about protecting their privacy. Some models are not worried about their pictures and private shows being posted in various places on the internet, as this will only help them to become more popular and well known, but for other webcam models this is a serious concern and a form of publicity that is NOT welcome.
In this article I would like to highlight the most trustworthy sites, which can 99.9 % guarantee protecting your privacy and identity (it would be an exaggeration to say any site can protect your identity and privacy 100%)
Which Website Should I Choose?
If the website DOES NOT ask for copies of either your passport, driving licence or other government issued ID, then DO NOT work for them at all. This ID is used to verify that webcam models are not underage (under 18) and is used for your own protection. Furthermore this information is NEVER given out to any third parties and is 100% safe.
Does the website have a “U.S.C2257 statement”, “Privacy Policy” and a “Contact Us” easily accessible on their website? If any of these are not present then alarm bells should start ringing, “Can I really trust this company when it comes to protecting my identity and privacy?” The major websites such as iFriends, LiveJasmin and Streamate all have the above.
Protecting Your Identity & Privacy
Nowadays most leading webcam sites offer the option to block all viewers from your state or even your country. This is usually a very reassuring measure working as a webcam models. Two recommended sites who take this one step further are Livejasmin and Streamate as they will give you multi options when it comes to blocking guests, members in your state or country and really take protecting your identity seriously. If in doubt contact the site directly for further reassurances.
When you are working never give out your personal information, this seems pretty obvious but you would be surprised how many models forget to adhere to this simple rule. This includes your address, even your city, your real name, email address etc. It would be a very sensible idea to create a “fake persona” with fake contact details and name with which you can freely give to your customers.
In the end it’s up to you to accept the risks involved in working as a webcam model. This work may be well paid, easy to do but your privacy can never be 100% guaranteed. Just make sure you weigh up the risks, choose your webcam site(s) wisely and you should be fine. I have never heard in my ten years experience of working in the webcam industry in one way or another of a cam model ever having been “found out” by friends or family or their identity being compromised either!
