18 U.S.C. §2257 Compliance

01 Statement of compliance

HogTok is an adults-only platform that publishes sexually explicit content. We take the records-keeping obligations that come with that seriously. This page is our statement under 18 U.S.C. §2257 and its implementing regulations at 28 C.F.R. Part 75.

All performers, models and other people who appear in sexually explicit content published on HogTok were at least 18 years old at the time the content was created. We require documented proof of age and identity before any creator is published, and we require creators to hold the underlying records for every performer in every piece of content they upload.

02 Custodian of records

The custodian of records responsible for the material published on HogTok is named below. Records may be inspected at the address shown, by appointment, during normal business hours. Requests must be in writing and must identify the specific content or performer concerned, because the records are not organised for browsing by the public.

03 Records and inspection

For content that HogTok produces itself, we maintain records containing, for each performer: the legal name and any stage name used, a copy of the photographic identification document relied on, the performer's date of birth, the date the content was created, and the location where it was produced. Records are kept at the address in section 02 and are available for inspection by the Attorney General or a duly authorised representative.

For content uploaded by independent creators, the creator is the producer and is required by our creator agreement to maintain the equivalent records for every performer, and to make them available to us on request and to the Attorney General on request. We hold the creator's certification, identity and age-verification material, and the statement of the location at which the creator's records are kept.

Records are kept for as long as the content remains published, and afterwards for the period required by 28 C.F.R. §75.4. They are stored separately from public profile data and are never published, sold or shared with advertisers.

04 Content we host

HogTok hosts creator-uploaded media on its own infrastructure. We do not commission, direct, script, cast or shoot that content, and we do not control the circumstances in which it was made. Our role is hosting, indexing and presentation, together with the verification and removal obligations described on this page and in our content removal policy.

Because we host the material, we treat the records obligation as one we share with the creator rather than one we can ignore. A creator who cannot produce records for a performer is unpublished until they can, and the content stays offline in the meantime.

05 Creator obligations

Before a creator profile is published, and on an ongoing basis, the creator must:

• Provide government-issued photographic identification confirming they are an adult, and confirm the identity they use on the platform.
• Hold, for every performer in every piece of content, a signed consent and release and a copy of photographic identification showing the performer was 18 or older at the time of production.
• State where those records are kept, and produce them within a reasonable time when we ask.
• Confirm that no content they upload was produced before any performer turned 18, and that no content has been altered to make a performer appear younger.
• Remove content and notify us immediately if a performer withdraws consent, or if any doubt arises about a performer's age or identity.

Failure to meet these obligations results in immediate unpublishing and, where the failure is serious, permanent termination of the account.

06 Age verification

Age verification is a condition of being listed, not a formality. We verify the identity and age of the person behind each creator account against government-issued photographic identification before the profile goes live, and we re-check when an account changes hands or a profile is transferred. Verification records are held by the custodian described in section 02.

Visitors are separately required to confirm they are adults at the age gate before any explicit content is served. That gate is a declaration by the visitor; it is not a substitute for the verification we carry out on creators.

07 Exempt content

Some material is outside the scope of §2257 — for example, content that contains no sexually explicit conduct as defined in 28 C.F.R. §75.1, or content that falls within a statutory exemption. Where content is exempt, this page does not apply to it, but our Terms of Service and content removal rules still do. We do not rely on an exemption to justify publishing content involving anyone under 18; there is no such exemption.

08 Reporting a concern

If you believe content on HogTok involves a person under 18, was produced without consent, or is published without adequate records, tell us immediately at [email protected] with "URGENT — MINOR" or "2257 CONCERN" in the subject line, and include the page URL. We unpublish first and investigate second. Reports of this kind are also passed to the relevant authorities, including the NCMEC CyberTipline in the United States.

09 Contact

Records requests, inspection appointments and compliance questions should be directed to the custodian of records in writing, at the address in section 02, or by email to [email protected]. Please allow a reasonable time for a response; requests that identify specific content are answered fastest.
