Hiding your purchases from your subscriptions

You subscribe to a creator. You also buy clips from them, tip them on a livestream, maybe buy from a different creator across the site. A natural worry is: “can the creator I’m subscribed to see everything I do on Lewdden?” The short answer is no — by design, every creator only sees the slice of your activity that involves them. They never see what you buy from anyone else, never see your other subscriptions, never see your email. This article walks through what’s visible, what isn’t, and the extra steps you can take if you want even tighter privacy.


1. The short version

Each creator on Lewdden sees a per-pair view of your relationship with them. They see things like “this fan is subscribed to me, since 12 March”, or “this fan bought 3 clips from me and last bought one on 28 April”, or “this fan has tipped me €40 over 4 separate streams”. They do not see:

  • Which other creators you’re subscribed to.
  • What you bought from anyone else.
  • Your email, address, real name, or country.
  • Any of your support tickets or moderation reports.
  • Your wallet balance or top-up history.
  • What you watched, browsed, or hovered over.

There’s no toggle to turn this on — it’s the default and the only mode. You don’t have to do anything.


2. What a creator actually sees about you

When a creator opens a chat thread with you in their messages inbox, they can click the ⓘ icon next to your name to open a small Customer info panel. The panel shows the data the creator is allowed to see — and only that data. Specifically:

  • Your display name (the one on your Lewdden profile) — not your email, not your real name.
  • Subscriber to me? — yes or no.
  • Subscriber since — the date your current subscription to this creator started, if active.
  • Subscription duration — a human phrase like “for 4 weeks” or “for 1 month”, again scoped to this pair.
  • Renewal — whether your subscription is set to auto-renew or end on its current term. Only the fact, not your card details.
  • Total spent — your total spend on this creator’s products. This is a sum of clip purchases, custom orders, ticket purchases and any other paid items where the seller is this creator. Money you spent on other creators is not in this number.
  • Clips bought — count of clips bought from this creator, plus the date of the last one.
  • Tips — count and total of tips you’ve sent to this creator, across livestreams.

The same scope applies on every other surface where a creator might learn something about you — the subscribers table on their /store-manager/ dashboard, the broadcast audience filters, the livestream viewer list. None of them expose your activity with other creators.


3. What’s on the subscribers list a creator sees

A creator can open their Subscribers page inside the store-manager. For each active subscriber the table shows:

  • Subscriber — your display name.
  • Status — Active, Pending cancel, or On-hold.
  • Started — date your current subscription period began.
  • Next payment — date the next renewal will charge (blank if you cancelled).
  • Subscription — the internal subscription number for support reference.

That’s the entire row. There’s no spending column, no “also subscribed to” column, no email column.


4. Your own view — how the account separates things

From your side at /my-account/ there are three independent lists, each focused on a different kind of relationship:

  • Subscriptions — active recurring memberships you currently pay for. Cancelling here ends the relationship at the next renewal date.
  • Orders — one-off purchases: clips, custom orders, ticket sales, physical items. Each row is a single completed transaction with its receipt.
  • Following — creators whose feed you follow without paying. Following is free; subscribing costs money. The two lists never mix.

Within /my-account/ the lists are kept separate on purpose. A one-off clip purchase from Creator X does not show in your Subscriptions page just because you also happen to subscribe to Creator X. The clip purchase lives in Orders. The subscription lives in Subscriptions.


5. What about my display name? Isn’t that revealing?

The display name you picked at signup is the one visible to every creator you interact with. If you used a recognisable nickname or — worse — a name close to your real-life one, that’s the only piece that could be matched to you outside the platform.

You can change it at any time:

  1. Sign in and go to /my-account/edit-account/.
  2. Edit the Display name field to something more anonymous.
  3. Save.

From the next message onward, creators see the new name. Older chat history they’ve already received will still show the old name there (we don’t rewrite past conversations), but new threads and the Customer info panel update immediately.


6. What about my real email?

Creators never see your account email under any circumstance. They can’t email you outside the platform — there’s no path for them to do so. Every message between you and a creator goes through the in-app messages inbox. If you reply, the reply is delivered in-app, not from your email address. If they reply, you see it in-app, not in your email inbox (unless you’ve opted into email notifications for new messages — and even those emails are sent from Lewdden to you, never the other way).

For the same reason, blocking a creator (or being blocked by one) doesn’t expose your email to them either.


7. What if I want stricter privacy across creators?

If, even with the per-pair scope above, you want to keep two parts of your Lewdden life completely separate (say, a hobby interest vs. a professional one), the only built-in way to do that is to use two separate Lewdden accounts — one with each set of subscriptions. Each account has its own display name, its own email, its own wallet. Creators on Account A can’t see anything from Account B, because there’s literally no link.

A few caveats if you go this route:

  • Each account needs its own email (you can use email aliases — many providers support you+something@domain or per-recipient generated addresses).
  • You’ll go through identity verification once per account, if applicable.
  • Wallets don’t merge — €20 in Account A is unreachable from Account B.
  • Subscriptions don’t merge — cancelling on one side doesn’t cancel on the other.
  • Don’t reuse the same display name across both accounts if the point is to keep them un-linked.

For the large majority of fans this is overkill — the per-pair scope is enough. Mention this option only if it actually matches your situation.


8. What about anonymous browsing?

You can browse a lot of Lewdden while logged out — public creator profiles, public feed posts, public clip previews, the explore pages. Anything you do logged out is by definition not attached to your account. Once you sign in to buy something, tip, subscribe, or post a comment, that specific action becomes part of the activity creator-pair scope above.

This isn’t a separate privacy feature — it’s just the consequence of being logged in.


9. The one thing the platform itself does see (for moderation)

Worth being honest about: Lewdden‘s own moderation and support teams can see your full account when they need to. That’s what makes it possible to action a report against a bad creator, refund a botched transaction, or restore a wrongly-removed clip. We don’t share that access with creators — they’re not on the moderation team. But the platform itself isn’t an anonymising layer for legal or trust-and-safety purposes.

10. Common worries — answered

“If I subscribe to two creators in the same scene, can either of them see the other’s name on me?” No. Each creator only sees their own pair. Even if the other creator is sitting next to them, they cannot pull up your account from this side of Lewdden.

“If I unsubscribe and resubscribe, does the creator see I went away and came back?” The Subscriber-since date will refresh to the new start date. The creator can infer that the relationship is newer than the first one — but the platform doesn’t show them a history of past cancellations or restarts as a list.

“Does my tipping show up to creators I haven’t tipped?” No. Tip data is per-pair. If you never tipped Creator B, Creator B has no idea you tipped anyone at all.

“Can a creator see what’s in my wallet?” No. The wallet balance is yours, not the creator’s. A creator only sees the amounts you actually spent on them, after they were spent.

“Can a creator see if I screenshotted their content?” No. There’s no screenshot-detection on the web. (Apps may behave differently — see the policy in the app stores, but the web is the default surface.)

“Can a creator see if I shared their clip with someone else?” No, not directly. If the someone-else then comes to Lewdden and buys it, the creator sees the new buyer, not the connection back to you.
