Camming Security an extensive guide

March 27, 2023 29 minutes 58277

This guide is for for anyone who is a cam performer to help ensure their online security. It is not meant to be exhaustive but tries to be comprehensive. From Banking to Webbrowers and Meta data to Wish lists. All will be here. Though it’s geared toward US-based cammers, many of the topics discussed apply to any cammer. 

DCMA / GDPR

dmca

In the US, the Digital Copyright Millennium Act (DMCA) provides a legal means to request YOUR content to be taken down when it is used without your permission. Even when a site hosts your content, it does not have the right to use your content unless you’ve given it permission to do so. You need to read the terms of service when signing up with a site since doing so might be the approval they need to use your content however they wish. There are professional services that can be used to help remove content that you have not approved for use. The use of the DMCA logo is also an option not only for your streaming content but also for still pictures and videos. A word of caution….that great new album you want to listen to as background music while you stream…unless you have permission from the performer of the album, thats a violation on YOU. You don’t want to be sent a takedown notice for listening to your music while streaming so be careful or have your account suspended. Using automatic alerts (such as Google Alerts) that looks for your content is helpful in protecting your brand.

The General Data Protect Regulation is EU focused, but still applies to you even if you do not live in the EU. It is for “the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data.” What this means for cammers is that you have the right to be forgotten, I.e. you can have data about you removed from search engines and other sites. This includes the content that you hold copyright on. It also ensures that the data about you is harder to get, helping to ensure your privacy and protection.

Data Removal

There’s a saying, “the internet never forgets.” This is why you want to be proactive in protecting your personal data and content. Once it is out there, it is extremely difficult to remove it. Remember to ALWAYS remove meta data from pictures and videos and the use of a persona will help with this. The biggest issue is data brokers constantly pulling data from all over the globe to build profiles on you. They will remove data if you ask and there are services that can help you do this for a fee. There are a LOT of data brokers and trying to do it manually, by your self, is a full time job. CamModelProtection is a service specifically for cam models to help remove their data from the internet. Both Google and Bing have portals to request data removal. Even Facebook now has a way to remove data about yourself from your profile.
