TOS last verified: March 11, 2026·Carrd Content Policy & Terms of Use

What the Terms of Service actually say

Content Policy — Prohibited Content

Carrd is fairly permissive when it comes to content. However, per our Terms of Use the usual categories of content are prohibited on all sites built on the platform, including (but not limited to) content that is: Pornographic

Carrd bans pornographic content but is notably more lenient than competitors. The policy is short, specific, and doesn't mention escort services, adult services, or sex work anywhere.

Content Policy — Adult Content

Adult-oriented artwork is permitted so long as a) the site to which the artwork is being posted belongs to its artist/creator (for example, as part of a portfolio), and b) the artwork does not depict activity considered to be illegal.

Carrd explicitly carves out an exception for adult-oriented artwork. This signals a more nuanced approach than platforms that blanket-ban all adult content.

What's specifically prohibited

  • Pornographic imagery or videos hosted on Carrd
  • Unlawful content
  • Thin affiliate sites (link farms with no real content)
  • Content infringing trademarks or intellectual property

What happens if you get caught

  • Site marked as "Offline" by moderators
  • Manual review process available to appeal
  • Sites can be restored if brought into compliance

Our analysis

Carrd is a simple one-page website builder that many SWs use, but its safety is overstated. The content policy bans "pornographic" content — a subjective term that moderators interpret at their discretion. While Carrd doesn't explicitly name escort services, it also doesn't protect them. Sites can be taken offline by moderators who determine a violation, and the "pornographic" umbrella is wide enough to cover suggestive imagery, explicit service descriptions, or anything a moderator finds objectionable. Carrd does have a manual review appeal process, which is better than platforms that delete without warning. But "your site might be fine if you keep it clean" is not the same as "your site is safe." For a temporary landing page while you set up proper hosting, Carrd works in a pinch. For anything you depend on, self-host. GetMy.Link (Dutch-hosted, no adult restrictions) is a safer third-party option if you need a link-in-bio without self-hosting.
