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's become popular with sex workers for a reason — its content policy is significantly more lenient than competitors like Linktree and Beacons. The policy bans "pornographic" content but does NOT name escort services, adult services, sex work, or companionship. It doesn't ban linking to adult platforms. It doesn't ban commercial activity related to adult services. For a clean link page with professional photos (no nudity), service descriptions, and booking links, Carrd is likely fine. The "pornographic" ban targets explicit imagery hosted on Carrd itself, not the nature of your business. Carrd also has a notably fair enforcement process: if your site is taken down, you can request a manual review, and they'll restore it if it's compliant. Compare this to Linktree and Beacons which both explicitly name escort services as banned. That said, Carrd isn't bulletproof. "Pornographic" is subjective, and a site with suggestive photos could get flagged. Keep imagery professional, don't host explicit content on Carrd itself, and you should be fine. For total peace of mind, a self-hosted WordPress site remains the gold standard.
