Clarification regarding using an inactive legacy account (created in 2020) for a new niche

Hello Adobe Stock Community and Moderation Team,

I am writing to seek clarification regarding my contributor accounts in light of the updated multiple-account policy (March 25, 2025).

I currently have two Adobe Stock Contributor accounts, both of which were created back in 2020.

1. First Account: I have been actively working on this account since 2020.
2. Second Account: This account was also created in 2020 with the intention of starting a different niche in the future. However, I haven't uploaded any content to this account yet; it is currently empty.

As we are now in 2026, I am planning to start working on that second account with a completely different niche/category of content (distinct from my first account).

My questions are:

• Since both accounts were created in 2020 (long before the March 2025 policy change), is it safe for me to start uploading to the second account now?
• Does the "Grandfather Clause" apply to an account that was created years ago but remained inactive/empty until now?
• Are there any specific steps or "Multiple Account Approval" requests I should submit before I start uploading to avoid any automated flagging?

I want to ensure I am fully compliant with Adobe Stock’s terms and avoid any risk of account termination. Any guidance from the experts or Adobe staff would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance!
