Profile claim evidence helps JuicyScout, JuicyIndex, and JuicyPulse confirm that a creator or authorized representative can request updates to a public creator listing.

The goal is to use the least intrusive evidence that is reasonable for the change requested. Routine edits should not require sensitive identity documents when creator-controlled public signals are enough.

Evidence We Prefer

Preferred evidence may include:

  • A temporary code placed in a public bio, pinned post, or official link page.
  • A message from an official creator-controlled social account.
  • A message from an official creator platform account, when available through an approved support workflow.
  • Email from a public address already associated with the creator or creator business.
  • Confirmation from an authorized agency, manager, or legal representative with clear creator authorization.
  • Matching public links across creator-controlled pages.

We will avoid collecting more personal information than needed to decide the claim.

Evidence to Avoid for Routine Claims

For routine claims, do not request:

  • Government IDs.
  • Private addresses.
  • Payment records.
  • Passwords or login access.
  • Subscriber lists.
  • Private messages unrelated to the claim.
  • Intimate or subscriber-only content.

Sensitive evidence may require legal or trust approval and a secure handling process.

Matching the Evidence to the Request

Low-risk edits, such as typo fixes or category adjustments, may only need a public source correction.

Official-link changes, ownership claims, representative access, profile restoration, or safety-sensitive field changes require stronger creator-controlled evidence.

Removal requests may require enough evidence to confirm that the requester is the creator or authorized representative, unless the report itself creates a credible safety risk that supports immediate suppression.

Representative Claims

Managers, agencies, assistants, and legal representatives should provide:

  • The affected profile URL.
  • The creator's official public link.
  • The representative's contact email.
  • A statement of authorization.
  • A creator-controlled confirmation signal where practical.
  • The exact changes requested.

Representative claims should not override creator safety requests. If a creator and representative disagree, route the case for trust review.

Review Outcomes

After reviewing evidence, support may:

  • Approve a claim.
  • Request a clearer creator-controlled signal.
  • Apply a one-time correction without granting ongoing control.
  • Decline a claim that lacks sufficient evidence.
  • Hide sensitive fields while evidence is reviewed.
  • Route the case to source correction, removal, suppression appeal, DMCA, legal, or safety escalation workflows.

Approval of a profile claim does not guarantee ranking, endorsement, identity certification for all purposes, or ongoing display of every submitted field.

FAQ

Do creators need to send government ID to claim a profile?

Routine claims should use less intrusive creator-controlled evidence where possible.

Can an agency claim a creator profile?

Yes, if the agency can show clear authorization and the requested changes follow trust, safety, and source standards.

Can claim evidence restore a removed profile?

It can support review, but restoration depends on safety, legal, source confidence, and any suppression or removal history.

Does a claimed profile become verified?

Not automatically. Claim approval means support accepted evidence for profile control or corrections; it should not be described as full identity verification unless that product label is approved.
