Part 75<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This policy applies to personal information and documentation maintained for age-verification and recordkeeping purposes and should be read together with our general Privacy Policy and Terms of Use, where applicable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Purpose of This Policy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Federal law requires certain producers of visual depictions of actual human beings engaged in sexually explicit conduct to create and maintain records establishing performers&#8217; identities and ages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Where applicable, we maintain these records to satisfy our legal obligations and to demonstrate compliance with federal law. The information maintained for these purposes may be different from information collected through ordinary website use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Information We May Collect<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Where required by applicable law, we may collect and maintain information necessary to establish and document a performer&#8217;s identity and age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Depending on the circumstances, this may include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Legal name;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stage name, professional name, or other applicable aliases;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Date of birth;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Copies or records of qualifying government-issued identification;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Information concerning the identification document used for age verification;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Records identifying the visual depiction or production in which the individual appears;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dates associated with production or publication;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Records concerning the person responsible for maintaining the required records; and<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Other information required by applicable federal law or regulations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We seek to collect only information reasonably necessary to satisfy the applicable recordkeeping requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Legal Basis and Purpose for Processing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Information maintained under this policy is processed primarily for purposes of complying with applicable federal law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We may use such information to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Verify that performers satisfy applicable age requirements;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Create and maintain records required by federal law;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Associate required records with applicable productions or depictions;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Respond to lawful government inspection requests;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Demonstrate compliance with applicable recordkeeping requirements;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Detect, investigate, or prevent suspected violations of applicable law; and<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Obtain professional or legal assistance concerning our compliance obligations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We do not use \u00a7 2257 records for unrelated commercial purposes merely because those records are maintained for compliance purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Confidentiality and Security<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We recognize that records maintained for \u00a7 2257 compliance may contain highly sensitive personal information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We take reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect these records against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, loss, or destruction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Depending on the nature of the records, safeguards may include access restrictions, authentication controls, secure storage, encryption where appropriate, internal confidentiality requirements, and procedures designed to limit access to authorized personnel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No method of electronic or physical storage can guarantee absolute security. Accordingly, while we take reasonable precautions, we cannot guarantee that information will never be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed through circumstances beyond our reasonable control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Restricted Access<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Access to \u00a7 2257 records is limited to individuals and service providers who have a legitimate need to access the information for compliance, administration, security, legal, or other authorized purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Personnel who have access to these records may be subject to confidentiality obligations and internal security procedures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We do not make performer identification records publicly available unless disclosure is required or authorized by applicable law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Government Inspections and Legal Disclosures<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Federal law provides for inspection of records maintained under the applicable recordkeeping requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Accordingly, information maintained pursuant to \u00a7 2257 may be disclosed to authorized government officials when disclosure or inspection is required or permitted by applicable federal law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We may also disclose information when reasonably necessary to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Comply with a subpoena, court order, warrant, or other valid legal process;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Comply with applicable federal, state, or local law;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Respond to a lawful government request;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Protect our legal rights or property;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Investigate suspected unlawful activity; or<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Protect the safety, rights, or property of individuals or the public.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We will seek to limit disclosures to information reasonably necessary for the applicable legal or compliance purpose, subject to the requirements of law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7.

Data Retention<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We retain records for as long as required by applicable federal law and regulations and for as long as reasonably necessary to satisfy our legal, regulatory, compliance, dispute-resolution, and recordkeeping obligations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because federal recordkeeping requirements may establish specific retention obligations, we may retain certain information longer than would otherwise be necessary for ordinary business purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We will not delete or destroy records when doing so would conflict with an applicable legal retention requirement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9. Correction of Information<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you believe information maintained about you for \u00a7 2257 compliance purposes is inaccurate or incomplete, you may contact us using the contact information provided below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Any request to modify, correct, or delete information will be evaluated in light of applicable legal requirements. We may be unable to alter or delete records when doing so would conflict with a federal recordkeeping obligation or other legal requirement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">10. Children&#8217;s Information<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our services are not intended for children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We do not knowingly collect information from individuals who are under the applicable minimum age for participation in activities governed by our services. Where applicable, \u00a7 2257 records are specifically intended to document that performers satisfy the legally applicable age requirement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If we become aware of information indicating that an individual did not satisfy the applicable age requirements, we will take appropriate steps consistent with applicable law and our legal obligations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">11. International Users<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If information is collected from individuals outside the United States, that information may be transferred to, stored in, or processed in the United States or another jurisdiction where we or our service providers operate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">International users should understand that the processing and disclosure of information maintained for federal compliance purposes may be subject to U.S. law and applicable legal requirements concerning \u00a7 2257 and related regulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Where applicable law provides privacy rights that apply to such processing, those rights remain subject to applicable legal exceptions and limitations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">12.
