18 U.S.C. § 2257

1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 Purpose
This 18 U.S.C. § 2257 Compliance Statement (“2257 Statement” or “Notice”) aims to clarify how SexGranny.org (the “Website,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) addresses compliance with the record-keeping and labeling requirements codified in 18 U.S.C. § 2257 and 28 C.F.R. Part 75, to the extent they are applicable. The federal law in the United States requires producers of certain sexually explicit content to maintain specific records proving that all models, performers, actors, actresses, and/or other persons who appear in visual depictions of actual sexually explicit conduct were at least eighteen (18) years of age at the time of production.

1.2 Nature of Website
SexGranny.org is an online adult platform operating from Panama. We do not directly host or produce any video or photographic content on our own servers. Instead, the Website displays or “embeds” sexually explicit content—such as videos or images—provided by third-party hosting sources. This means the audiovisual files you view on SexGranny.org are physically stored on external sites over which we have no direct control.

1.3 Voluntary Disclosure
While SexGranny.org is not a U.S.-based content producer, we voluntarily adopt procedures that reflect the nature and intent of 18 U.S.C. § 2257 to respect the spirit of compliance for U.S. visitors and stakeholders who may rely on these disclosures.

2. DEFINITIONS

2.1 Primary Producer
Under 28 C.F.R. § 75.1(c)(1), a “primary producer” is any person or entity that actually films, videotapes, photographs, or otherwise creates the original content depicting actual sexually explicit conduct.

2.2 Secondary Producer
Under 28 C.F.R. § 75.1(c)(2), a “secondary producer” is any person or entity that assembles, manufactures, publishes, duplicates, reproduces, digitalizes, or compiles the content into a product, or who manages the web hosting arrangements for that content.

2.3 Hosting and Embedding
For clarity, to “host” content typically means physically storing the files on a server under direct control, whereas “embedding” refers to presenting media from an external server through an iFrame or similar method. Embedded files remain on external servers outside of the control of the embedding site.

3. SEXGRANNY.ORG’S STATUS REGARDING 2257

3.1 No Primary or Secondary Production
SexGranny.org is neither a primary producer nor a secondary producer of any content that may appear on this Website. All videos and images that depict sexual conduct, if any, are (a) created and uploaded by third parties on external hosting platforms, and (b) embedded on SexGranny.org through publicly available iFrames or links.

3.2 Reliance on Third Parties
Because SexGranny.org does not create, alter, edit, host, or store the content at issue, all obligations for compliance with 18 U.S.C. § 2257 and 28 C.F.R. Part 75 for any “actual sexually explicit conduct” rest with the original producers of such materials. We expect that each entity or individual providing embedded content through external services will have lawful documentation verifying that all performers were at least 18 years old at the time the content was produced.

3.3 Qualifying as a “Distributor”
To the extent that SexGranny.org might be considered a “distributor” of embedded content under U.S. law, we are exempt from the record-keeping requirements because we do not physically possess or control the content. Any visual depictions displayed on our site are the result of automated embedding mechanisms referencing third-party URLs, without any direct uploading or file manipulation by SexGranny.org.

4. WHERE TO FIND THE RECORDS

4.1 Records Custodians
Pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 2257, the records required to be maintained for all visual depictions of actual sexual conduct are kept by the Custodians of Records of the primary producing entities or hosting websites. Each piece of content should have an associated statement provided by its producer indicating where the records are stored.

4.2 Contacting Original Producers
If you need specific proof or have concerns about the age verification of any performer(s) in content embedded on SexGranny.org, you should direct your inquiry to the original producer or the host that supplied the content. They are solely responsible for maintaining and verifying the documentation regarding the age and consent of performers.

4.3 Identifying Host Platforms
In most cases, embedded media will identify its hosting platform (e.g., a watermark, branding, or link). You can use that information to contact the relevant website or content owner. If you need assistance identifying the original platform, you may contact us at [email protected] with details (URL, title, or other descriptors), and we may provide any available info about the external source.

5. PROCEDURES & SAFEGUARDS

5.1 Policy on User-Uploaded Embeds
While SexGranny.org does not permit direct uploads to its own servers, we do allow users to share or embed content from third-party sites. We require that any user who submits or embeds such material must certify that:

  • All performers in the embedded content are 18 years of age or older at the time of production;
  • The user (or original producer) has complied with relevant laws, including 18 U.S.C. § 2257 record-keeping, if applicable.

5.2 Prompt Removal of Unauthorized or Non-Compliant Material
If we become aware (through notice or other means) of content embedded on our site that appears to involve underage performers or is otherwise non-compliant with 2257 record-keeping, we will:

  1. Remove, block, or disable access to that embedded content;
  2. Possibly ban or terminate the account (if any) of the user who provided it, in accordance with our Terms of Use;
  3. Potentially notify law enforcement authorities when we have a good faith belief that the content may constitute child sexual abuse material (CSAM) or otherwise be a violation of law.

5.3 Periodic Review
We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to perform routine checks or internal reviews to ensure that embedded links purporting to display adult content do not feature minors or other illegal depictions. We do not guarantee comprehensive monitoring, but we do employ reasonable measures to address suspected violations promptly.

6.1 Minimum Age Requirement
All persons who appear in any depiction of actual or simulated sexually explicit conduct must be at least 18 years of age (or older, if local laws require a higher age) at the time such content was produced.

6.2 Performer Identification
We expect each original producer or hosting platform to secure and maintain valid, government-issued photo identification verifying each performer’s date of birth before production and to keep those records on file, accessible for inspection by appropriate authorities as required by law.

6.3 Written Consent
Where required, producers must also obtain and maintain model release forms or written consent from performers, ensuring that each participant was fully informed and voluntarily participated in the production.

7. REPORTING SUSPECTED NON-COMPLIANCE

7.1 Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM)
Any content depicting minors in sexual contexts is absolutely prohibited on SexGranny.org. If you believe you have identified content involving minors, please contact us immediately at [email protected]. We treat these reports with utmost priority and will remove and report such material to relevant authorities as required by applicable law.

7.2 Other 2257 Concerns
If you have concerns that any embedded content on SexGranny.org is not compliant with 18 U.S.C. § 2257 or is otherwise illegal or exploitative, please submit a detailed complaint to [email protected]. Include:

  • URL(s) or direct link(s) to the offending material;
  • Description of why you believe the material is non-compliant;
  • Any additional information that could help us identify the content and verify the claim.

We will investigate promptly and take appropriate action if needed.
