Do I have to enter a model's accurate ethnicity or gender identity?

Our clients look to us to provide them with correct information about the content they can purchase at Stocksy. While we can’t guarantee all the information on every asset, we aim to be as accurate as possible.

This is especially true for model release information, which can have real legal implications for clients. As such, models should select their true ethnicity and gender identity on model releases, and that information should be conveyed in the model's settings in Release Manager. 

Any descriptors in your metadata that express aspects of gender identity, sexual orientation, ethnicity, or demographic status should be supported by the provided model release or discussed and confirmed with your model before entering it into your metadata.

Please do not make assumptions or embellish.
