18 U.S.C. § 2257 Record-Keeping Compliance Statement
Last updated: October 9, 2026
This statement describes the record-keeping and adult-content compliance approach for Pornstars.bio (the “Website”). It addresses United States federal record-keeping provisions, including 18 U.S.C. §§ 2257 and 2257A and implementing regulations in 28 C.F.R. Part 75, where applicable.
1. Nature of the Website
Pornstars.bio is an adult-oriented editorial and discovery website featuring biographies, commentary, profiles, information about adult-entertainment performers, and links to independently operated third-party services. Certain pages may feature embedded players or other media delivered by external providers, as well as sponsored or affiliate links. An embedded player does not necessarily mean the underlying video is hosted on Pornstars.bio.
Editorial text and ordinary website administration are distinct from the original production of sexually explicit visual depictions. However, the legal classification of a website operator depends on its actual activities and the applicable law; embedding, selecting, editing, reproducing, publishing, or otherwise handling third-party material does not, by itself, establish an exemption from any record-keeping requirement.
2. Original Productions and Records
Where a sexually explicit visual depiction originates from an independent third-party studio, publisher, creator, or hosting service, that party may be responsible for maintaining performer age-verification and identification records applicable to its production. Questions concerning records for a particular third-party production may be directed to its identified producer or record custodian through the source provider.
Important: Pornstars.bio does not represent that it is the custodian of records for every third-party video, photograph, or other depiction accessible through the Website. Nor does this statement certify that every item on the Website is exempt from 18 U.S.C. §§ 2257 or 2257A. If Pornstars.bio performs activities that make it a producer subject to those provisions, the corresponding record-maintenance and disclosure obligations must be fulfilled separately; this general policy does not replace an item-specific, legally required custodian-of-records statement.
3. Age and Consent Standards
Pornstars.bio is intended solely for adults aged 18 or older, or the higher age of majority required by applicable law. The Website does not knowingly promote child sexual abuse material, depictions of minors in sexually explicit conduct, or non-consensual sexual content. Credible reports suggesting that material involves a minor, exploitation, or an absence of consent will be treated as urgent and may result in disabling access to the material while the matter is assessed and, where appropriate, referral to the relevant provider or authorities.
Any creator or rights holder who provides visual material for publication on Pornstars.bio must have the necessary rights and must comply with all applicable laws, including age-verification, consent, and record-keeping obligations where required. This is a site policy and is not a substitute for verification of records actually required by law.
4. Embedded Videos, External Links, and Third-Party Providers
External video players and destination links may be operated, controlled, and updated by independent third parties. Those providers may maintain their own 18 U.S.C. § 2257 compliance statements and custodian details. Visitors seeking records for a specific external production should first consult the original provider’s published legal notices. Pornstars.bio may assist in identifying the relevant provider when sufficient information is supplied, but cannot guarantee access to records held by independent parties.
5. Report a Concern or Request Information

Please include the exact Pornstars.bio page URL, the video or image URL if available, a brief description of the concern, and a reliable way to contact you.

6. Legal Scope
This page is an informational policy and is not an assertion that Pornstars.bio is legally exempt from all record-keeping obligations. Applicable requirements depend on the actual origin of each depiction, the Website’s role in producing or publishing it, and the law governing the activity. Where a legally required custodian-of-records statement applies, the appropriate accurate producer or custodian information must be published in the legally prescribed manner.
