Effective Date: January 5th 2025

In compliance with the record-keeping requirements set forth in 18 U.S.C. 2257 and 2257A, Social Secret maintains strict adherence to the regulations concerning the collection and maintenance of records for visual depictions of adult content. This statement outlines our commitment to ensuring that all content posted by users complies with applicable legal standards.


1. Compliance with 18 U.S.C. 2257 and 2257A

Social Secret operates in full compliance with the provisions of 18 U.S.C. 2257 and 2257A, which require producers of certain adult content to maintain records identifying the individuals depicted in their material. We do not produce, upload, or distribute any content directly. Instead, our platform serves as a listing service for professionals in the adult industry.

However, users who post content must ensure that they comply with the relevant requirements of these statutes.


2. Responsibility of Content Providers

As a user or content provider on Social Secret, you are responsible for ensuring that all content you upload or share complies with the following legal requirements:

  • Identity Verification: You must maintain records that verify the identity and age of all individuals depicted in your content, as required by 18 U.S.C. 2257 and 2257A.
  • Record Maintenance: You must maintain these records for inspection by authorized government representatives. These records must be available for at least seven years after the content is created.
  • Labeling Requirements: Content providers must include proper labeling for any visual depictions of sexually explicit conduct, in accordance with the requirements of 18 U.S.C. 2257 and 2257A.

3. No Direct Production or Distribution of Content by Social Secret

Social Secret does not create, produce, or distribute any adult content. We are a listing platform that allows users to promote their services and connect with clients. As such, Social Secret does not keep records of the content uploaded by our users. It is solely the responsibility of the content provider to comply with the 18 U.S.C. 2257 and 2257A requirements.


4. Record-Keeping Information

For any content uploaded to Social Secret that may be subject to 18 U.S.C. 2257 and 2257A, the content provider must ensure that records identifying the models or performers depicted in their content are kept and made available for inspection by law enforcement authorities. These records must include:

  • Full legal names of performers.
  • Date of birth and proof of age (e.g., government-issued ID).
  • Dates of the creation of the content.

5. Exemption for Certain Types of Content

Content that does not involve visual depictions of actual sexual conduct (e.g., images of non-sexual services or other professional content unrelated to sexually explicit conduct) may be exempt from 18 U.S.C. 2257 and 2257A requirements. Users should ensure that any content they upload falls under appropriate exemptions if applicable.
