Miximodel does not condone human trafficking in any form, and does not permit our platform to be used to recruit, advertise, transport, harbour, or exploit any person for forced labour, forced services, or commercial sexual exploitation. This statement sets out our position, what we watch for, and how we and anyone else can report a suspected instance.
1. Our position
Human trafficking — the recruitment, transport, transfer, harbouring, or receipt of a person by force, fraud, coercion, or abuse of a position of vulnerability, for the purpose of exploitation — has no place on Miximodel. This applies without exception to minors, for whom the elements of force, fraud, or coercion do not need to be shown.
Miximodel is a professional workspace for freelance models, photographers, and creative agencies, built around a Content Provider Agreement (see below) that requires every uploader to hold the depicted person's written, freely given consent and to verify their identity and age. Trafficking is fundamentally incompatible with that model: a trafficked person cannot give free, informed consent to their own depiction or booking.
2. What we look for
Trafficking indicators are not always obvious from content alone, and we do not claim to be able to detect every instance. Our moderation team and support staff are trained to treat the following as warning signs warranting closer review, in addition to the content standards described in our Moderation Policy:
- A profile, booking, or message pattern suggesting a third party controls an account holder's earnings, schedule, travel, or communications.
- Inconsistent, evasive, or scripted answers about a model's age, identity, or location.
- Signs that a person depicted did not freely consent, or was coerced into consenting.
- Any indication that a person depicted, booked, or represented is a minor.
- Content or messages referencing debt bondage, confiscated identity documents, or an inability to leave a working arrangement.
3. Reporting to the authorities
When we identify content, an account, or conduct on Miximodel that we reasonably believe constitutes or facilitates human trafficking, we report it to the competent law enforcement or judicial authorities, in addition to removing the content, suspending or terminating the account, and preserving the relevant material as evidence under our Moderation Policy. We cooperate with lawful requests from law enforcement investigating suspected trafficking.
Miximodel is operated by MakerLabs SARL, a French company, and this commitment is discharged consistently with French and European Union law — in particular Articles 225-4-1 to 225-4-9 of the French Code pénal (traite des êtres humains) and Directive 2011/36/EU on preventing and combating trafficking in human beings — and, for content or users reachable from the United States, 18 U.S.C. § 1591 (the U.S. Trafficking Victims Protection Act).
4. How to report to us
If you suspect that content, an account, or a booking on Miximodel involves human trafficking, please tell us. You do not need an account to report, and you can report anonymously.
Suspected trafficking is prioritised ahead of the standard queue, and content alleging that a depicted person is a minor or is a victim of non-consensual imagery is withheld from public view immediately on receipt, before our review is complete — see Moderation Policy, Complaints and content removal.
5. If you are in immediate danger
The resources in Section 4 above are there for exactly this situation. Reporting to Miximodel triggers our own review and, where warranted, a report to law enforcement under Section 3 — but it does not replace contacting emergency services or a dedicated anti-trafficking hotline directly if you or someone else is in immediate danger.
