  • Identify as WLW (including lesbian, bisexual, queer women, trans women, and non-binary individuals who date women)

We reserve the right to moderate, suspend, or remove accounts that violate these values.

6. Privacy

Your privacy is important to us. Please review our Privacy Policy for details on how we collect, use, and store your information.

7. Age Verification (UK Users)

In accordance with the UK’s Online Safety Act, all users accessing The Sapphic Library from the United Kingdom must complete age verification to confirm they are 18 years or older.

If you are located in the UK, you may be required to submit identification or complete an automated verification check prior to accessing certain features or continuing use of the platform.

Failure to verify age may result in temporary restrictions or account suspension. More details: UK Age Verification Law

8. Profile Verification (Users from Specific Countries)

To protect the integrity of our WLW space, users from certain countries may be required to verify their profiles with official identification. This policy helps combat the rise in fake accounts, bots, and online scams targeting LGBTQ+ platforms.

Verification requirements and the current list of applicable countries can be found here: Protected WLW Space Policy

Users who fail or refuse to complete the required verification may have their accounts suspended, restricted, or removed.
