This provision establishes a multi-tier rights request and appeals process consistent with GDPR, UK GDPR, and US state privacy law requirements, including identity verification procedures for request submissions and authorization requirements for third-party representatives. The appeals escalation to state Attorneys General reflects compliance with Virginia VCDPA, Colorado CPA, Connecticut CTDPA, and other state laws requiring internal appeals before regulatory escalation.
Under this clause, users may submit requests to access, correct, delete, restrict, or transfer their personal data by contacting OnlyFans via privacy@onlyfans.com or the in-account ticket system, subject to identity verification. US state residents whose requests are denied may appeal internally, and if the appeal is denied, may escalate to their state Attorney General.

"Your rights regarding Personal Data: Under certain circumstances and subject to certain exemptions, you have the right to: Withdraw your consent... Request to know or access to your Personal Data...

All appeal requests should be submitted using the contact details set out at Section 19. If your appeal is denied, you may contact your local Attorney General.Excerpt from OnlyFans's Privacy Policy
1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: This provision implements rights frameworks under GDPR Articles 15-22 and UK GDPR equivalents, CCPA/CPRA consumer rights, and US state privacy laws including Virginia VCDPA, Colorado CPA, Connecticut CTDPA, Texas TDPSA, and others requiring internal appeal mechanisms. The ICO and relevant EU supervisory authorities enforce GDPR rights. US state Attorneys General enforce state privacy rights statutes. The policy's reference to non-discrimination rights for US residents (no retaliatory or discriminatory treatment for exercising rights) reflects CCPA Section 1798.125 requirements. 2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The identity verification requirement for rights requests introduces a friction mechanism that must be calibrated to avoid GDPR and state law prohibitions on creating excessive barriers to rights exercise. The policy's statement that requests may be declined where identity cannot be verified is consistent with applicable law but requires documented, consistent application. The requirement for signed documents or power of attorney for authorized agent requests aligns with CCPA authorized agent requirements. 3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU and UK residents have rights under GDPR and UK GDPR with supervisory authority complaint rights. US state residents have jurisdiction-specific rights and appeal procedures. California residents have the most developed rights framework under CPRA. The policy's deletion exemption for accounts deactivated for ToS violations may require evaluation against GDPR Article 17 exemption conditions in EU contexts. 4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Compliance teams should confirm that data processing agreements with all processors include obligations to assist with data subject rights requests within applicable response timeframes, and that technical infrastructure supports data portability and deletion across all processing systems including third-party verification and background screening providers. 5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams should evaluate: whether response timeframes for rights requests are documented and operationally implemented within GDPR (one month, extendable) and US state law (45-day, extendable) requirements; whether the appeals process is operationally distinct from the initial review process; whether deletion request responses accurately communicate the applicable exemption basis; and whether identity verification procedures are proportionate and consistently applied.
