Is my payment information private?
Yes. Your card and banking details are never accessible to creators or to other users on Fanvue. Fanvue complies with PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) and does not store your card data on its own systems; this is handled exclusively by our regulated payment processor.
Creators do not receive your card number, bank details, or any financial information when you subscribe or make a purchase. For information on how Fanvue appears on your bank statement: How does Fanvue show up on my bank statement?
Can anyone see what I have purchased?
Your subscription status and purchase history are private. Other fans cannot see which creators you subscribe to, what pay-per-view content you have purchased, or how much you have spent. Creators can see that you are their subscriber, but they cannot see subscriptions or purchases you have made with other creators.
Can I access Fanvue without creating an account?
Some public content may be browsable without logging in, but subscribing to a creator or making any purchase requires an account. You do not need to use your real name or identity to create a fan account.
