Third-Party Links Lead to Uncovered Privacy Practices
OnlyFans may contain links to third-party websites, plug-ins, and applications, and clicking these links or enabling connections could allow third parties to collect or share your Personal Data. The policy explicitly states that it does not apply to the content, security, or privacy practices of these third parties.
Why it matters: Clicking on third-party links or enabling connections through OnlyFans could expose your Personal Data to external entities whose privacy practices are not covered by the OnlyFans policy, potentially leading to unintended data collection or sharing.
OnlyFans may include links to third-party websites, plug-ins and applications.

Limited Access to Face Recognition Data
OnlyFans states that Face Recognition Data is collected and remains with their third-party provider and they themselves do not collect, receive, possess, or have access to this data at any time.
Why it helps: This limits the direct access of OnlyFans to sensitive biometric data, reducing the risk of misuse or breach of this specific type of personal information by the platform itself.
Face Recognition Data is collected by and remains with our third-party provider. We do not ourselves collect, receive, possess, or have access to Face Recognition Data at any time.
