Q: What is the LiveCam360 Trust Index?

A: The LiveCam360 Trust Index is a standardized 100-point safety score we assign to every adult live cam platform we review. It's measured across 5 weighted axes — payment security (/20), billing discretion (/20), account privacy (/20), platform reputation (/20), and scam prevention (/20). The score is re-audited every 90 days and the audit date is published with every score. No other adult cam review site publishes a comparable standardized trust score.

Q: How is the LiveCam360 Trust Index different from a star rating?

A: Star ratings on most cam review sites reflect entertainment value — model count, video quality, variety. The LiveCam360 Trust Index measures something different: how safe the platform is to use. It scores payment infrastructure, billing discretion, account privacy, platform reputation, and scam prevention. A site can have a 4.8/5 star entertainment rating and an 80/100 Trust Index — those are two different questions answered separately.

Q: What are the 5 Trust Index axes?

A: Payment Security (20 points) — PCI-DSS compliance, 3-D Secure support, refund policy clarity. Billing Discretion (20 points) — credit card descriptor doesn't reveal platform name, consistent across card networks, no surprise recurring charges. Account Privacy (20 points) — on-demand account deletion, ≤90-day post-deletion data retention, GDPR/CCPA compliance. Platform Reputation (20 points) — years operating, known corporate ownership and jurisdiction, no major scandals in last 24 months. Scam Prevention (20 points) — token withhold policy if model violates terms, active anti-bot/AI-stream detection, documented refund path for fraud claims.

Q: Which cam site has the highest LiveCam360 Trust Index score in 2026?

A: Chaturbate has the highest LiveCam360 Trust Index score in 2026 at 92/100. It scores highest because it has the longest mature operating history (since 2011), strong PCI-DSS payment infrastructure with 3-D Secure, GDPR-aligned account privacy with on-demand deletion, and active scam prevention via ToS-enforced token withholding. Stripchat (88), Jerkmate (85), and MyFreeCams (80) follow, with MyFreeCams scoring lower primarily because of older privacy infrastructure and less documented model-violation enforcement.

Q: How often is the LiveCam360 Trust Index re-audited?

A: Every 90 days. The current scores were audited on 2026-05-15. Each platform is re-checked against all 5 axes — we verify the billing descriptor on a fresh test transaction, confirm the account deletion flow still works as documented, review any platform incidents in the prior 90 days that would affect the reputation score, and re-validate the scam prevention claims with documented refund cases. The next scheduled audit is 2026-08-15. The audit date is published on every score we display.

Q: Why doesn't this Trust Index include video quality or model count?

A: Video quality and model count are entertainment metrics, not trust metrics. They tell you how good the experience is, not how safe the platform is. We score those separately on our entertainment scale (used in the individual reviews) and keep the Trust Index focused on safety questions only — payment, billing, privacy, reputation, scam prevention. Mixing entertainment metrics into a trust score would dilute it. A site with 6,000 models and HD streams can still have a 60/100 Trust Index if their billing leaks or refund process is broken.
