Trust and Safety at ZENRA: how Ethics organisations influence our updates



All proper JAV movies on ZENRA are produced by Japanese adult video studios that submit their works to Ethics companies before they can be sold.

Ethics companies are established regulatory bodies that will perform the following checks before giving the movie their seal of approval:

  • Confirm all performers are 18 or older and provided full, informed consent for the shoot and its distribution.
  • Verify only approved model agencies with clean recruitment histories are utilized.
  • Ensure the movies do not violate any industry-wide content prohibitions.
  • Inspect mosaic application to ensure it covers all private areas in accordance to the industry’s interpretation of Japanese law.

We have chosen not to work with any Japan-based studio that does not submit their works for Ethics approval. While we believe in free speech and the ability to express oneself, safety for everyone on set, the studios, and ourselves is paramount. If you have any questions about how adult video is regulated in Japan, feel free to contact us or visit one of the sites below:

Furthermore, we adhere to proper takedown practices in the case of a former actress or a studio partner reaching out to make such a request or if an end-user wishes to report content they may believe to be illegal. If we deem the request legitimate, the content in question is removed within several business days—considerably faster than the weeks it may take on other digital marketplaces. For more information about our takedown procedures please visit our Report Abuse / Takedown Request page.

Verify your age by

Recently a number of US states and a few countries of note have enacted age verification requirements for adult sites. On the US front at least, legal experts both within and outside of our industry do not believe any will pass a constitutional test. However, since these laws currently are on the books and thus have the ability to be enforced, we are choosing to comply with them at this point in time.

ZENRA uses (and as an aside: 99% of the time a site says they have "teamed up" with so-and-so to provide random service, it really just means that like us, they're a business customer and nothing more) Bluecheck.me, a third party verification service, to perform this important task easy to install filtering software does infinitely better.

Information used in the verification process is not stored on our servers. Phone number and address verification is instant and uses database cross referencing (no calls, no SMS messages, nothing mailed to the address). ID verification takes about one minute and is performed 'blind' on Bluecheck's side where the ID is reviewed by someone unaware of what service the submitter is attempting to access.

Regardless of what method you choose, it costs you nothing, but does increase the cost of our operations in order to somehow make the internet a 'safer' place.
