Attn: Custodian of Records — 2257 Compliance
[Physical Address to be provided]
United States
Email: legal@bunniesnextdoor.com
The Custodian of Records is responsible for the maintenance, organization, and inspection readiness of all records required by 18 U.S.C. § 2257 and 28 C.F.R. Part 75. The designated Custodian has been appointed by the Company and is familiar with the record-keeping requirements and obligations imposed by federal law.
3. Records Maintained
In accordance with 18 U.S.C. § 2257 and 28 C.F.R. Part 75, the following records are maintained for each performer depicted in visual depictions of actual sexually explicit conduct:
3.1 Individual Performer Records
For each performer, the Custodian maintains:
- Legal Name: The performer's full legal name as it appears on their government-issued identification document.
- Date of Birth: The performer's date of birth as documented on their government-issued identification.
- Aliases and Stage Names: Any and all names, aliases, nicknames, stage names, or other names used by the performer in connection with the creation or distribution of content, including usernames on the Website.
- Government-Issued Photo Identification: A legible copy of a valid, unexpired government-issued photo identification document bearing the performer's photograph and date of birth. Acceptable documents include a valid passport, driver's license, or national/state identification card issued by a competent authority.
3.2 Content Cross-Reference Index
The Custodian maintains an organized cross-reference index that links each individual piece of visual content to the corresponding performer records. This index allows the Custodian to:
- Identify every performer depicted in any given piece of content by their legal name and all aliases.
- Locate the identification records of any performer by searching for any name, alias, or stage name used by that performer.
- Associate each piece of content with the date of original production or publication.
- Track the title, description, or other identifying information assigned to each piece of content.
The index is maintained in a secure, searchable database that is updated as new content is added to the Website and as performers update their profiles or aliases.
3.3 Producer and Secondary Producer Records
Where the Company acts as a primary or secondary producer of content, the following additional records are maintained:
- The legal name and business address of the primary producer of the visual depiction.
- Where the Company is a secondary producer (e.g., compiling, distributing, or re-publishing content originally produced by a Content Creator), a copy of or cross-reference to the primary producer's 2257 records, or a certification that the primary producer has made the required records available.
- The URL or other location identifier where the content is published or made available.
4. Record Location and Inspection
4.1 Record Storage
All records required by 18 U.S.C. § 2257 and 28 C.F.R. Part 75 are maintained at the address of the Custodian of Records identified in Section 2 above. Records are stored in a physically secure, locked facility with restricted access limited to the designated Custodian and authorized personnel.
Digital copies of records are stored in encrypted form using AES-256 encryption on secure, access-controlled systems with audit logging enabled. Physical records (where maintained) are stored in locked, fireproof filing systems. Backup copies of all digital records are maintained in geographically separate secure locations to ensure continuity and availability.
4.2 Inspection Availability
In accordance with 28 C.F.R. § 75.4, records are available for inspection by the Attorney General of the United States or his or her designee at the address of the Custodian of Records during the following regular business hours:
Monday through Friday, 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM Central Time
(Excluding Federal holidays)
Inspections shall be conducted with reasonable notice to the Custodian where practicable. The Custodian will make records available in an organized, indexed manner that allows efficient review of the requested materials.
4.3 Requesting an Inspection
Authorized representatives of the Attorney General may arrange an inspection by contacting the Custodian of Records:
- Email: legal@bunniesnextdoor.com (subject line: "2257 Records Inspection Request")
- Mail: BunniesNextDoor LLC, Attn: Custodian of Records, [Physical Address to be provided], United States
All inspection requests should include: (a) the name and title of the requesting individual; (b) the federal agency or office represented; (c) the purpose of the inspection; and (d) the preferred date and time for the inspection. While advance notice is requested for administrative convenience, it is not a precondition for inspection during posted business hours.
5. Age Verification Process
The Company employs a rigorous, multi-step age and identity verification process for all individuals who create or appear in adult content on the Website:
- Document Submission: Each performer is required to submit a clear, legible, color photograph or scan of a valid, unexpired government-issued photo identification document. Accepted documents include: a valid passport (any country), a driver's license (any U.S. state or equivalent international document), or a national or state identification card. The document must clearly display the performer's photograph, full legal name, and date of birth.
- Biometric Verification: The performer must submit a live selfie photograph taken at the time of the verification process. This photograph is compared against the image on the submitted identification document using automated facial recognition technology and, where required, manual human review, to confirm the performer's identity.
- Age Confirmation: The date of birth displayed on the identification document is verified to confirm that the performer was at least eighteen (18) years of age at the time of content production. Content from any performer whose age cannot be positively verified will not be published on the Website.
- Alias Collection: All names, aliases, stage names, and usernames used or intended to be used by the performer in connection with the Website are documented and cross-referenced with the performer's legal identity records.
- Record Filing: Upon successful verification, the performer's records are filed by the Custodian of Records in the organized record-keeping system, cross-referencing the performer's legal name, all aliases, identification document copies, and the content associated with the performer.
- Periodic Re-verification: The Company may require periodic re-verification of a performer's identity, including updated identification documents, to ensure the continued accuracy and validity of records maintained under 18 U.S.C. § 2257.
6. Record Retention
Records required by 18 U.S.C. § 2257 and 28 C.F.R. Part 75 are retained for the following periods:
- During Content Availability: Records are maintained for the entire period during which any content depicting the performer remains available on the Website or through any distribution channel controlled by the Company.
- Post-Removal Retention: Following the removal of all content depicting a performer from the Website, records are retained for a minimum of five (5) years from the date the last piece of content was removed or the last date of publication, whichever is later.
- Post-Cessation Retention: In the event the Company ceases operations or transfers ownership of the Website, all 2257 records will be transferred to the successor entity or, if no successor exists, will be maintained by the Custodian of Records or a designated successor custodian for the full remaining retention period.
At no time will records be destroyed prior to the expiration of the applicable retention period. Destruction of records after the retention period is conducted securely (cross-cut shredding for physical documents, cryptographic erasure for digital records) with a certificate of destruction maintained for audit purposes.
7. Third-Party and User-Generated Content
The Website may host content uploaded by independent Content Creators who are not employees of the Company. With respect to such user-generated content:
7.1 Primary Producer Responsibility
Content Creators who upload content depicting actual sexually explicit conduct are considered the primary producers of that content under 18 U.S.C. § 2257. Each Content Creator is individually responsible for maintaining their own 2257-compliant records as primary producers.
7.2 Company Obligations as Secondary Producer
To the extent the Company is deemed a secondary producer under 18 U.S.C. § 2257 by virtue of hosting, distributing, or making user-generated content available through the Website, the Company:
- Requires all Content Creators to complete full identity and age verification through the Company's verification process before any content may be uploaded.
- Maintains records of each Content Creator's identity, including copies of government-issued identification, date of birth, legal name, and all aliases, in the same manner as records maintained for performers in Company-produced content.
- Requires Content Creators to certify that all individuals depicted in their uploaded content are at least 18 years of age and that they maintain 2257-compliant records for all depicted performers.
- Maintains cross-reference records linking each Content Creator to the content they have uploaded to the Website.
- Reserves the right to request and review the primary producer's 2257 records at any time and to remove content for which adequate records cannot be verified.
7.3 Content Review
All content uploaded to the Website is subject to review to verify that associated 2257 records are on file prior to publication. Content for which adequate records are not available or cannot be verified will not be made publicly available on the Website.
8. Exemptions
Certain content available on the Website may be exempt from the record-keeping requirements of 18 U.S.C. § 2257, including but not limited to:
- Content that does not depict actual sexually explicit conduct as defined in 18 U.S.C. § 2256(2)(A).
- Content that depicts only lascivious exhibition and was not produced after March 18, 2009, and for which the primary producer was not also the primary producer of any content depicting actual sexually explicit conduct subject to the record-keeping requirements.
- Content produced by news-reporting organizations or government entities in the course of their official duties.
Where the Company determines that specific content may be exempt from 2257 requirements, the Company nonetheless maintains identity verification records for all performers as a matter of best practice and platform policy, regardless of any potential exemption.
