1. Introduction

At Fanz Unlimited LLC, we are committed to maintaining a safe, ethical, and legally compliant platform for creators, members, and partners. This policy sets forth the ethical standards and legal responsibilities of our company and applies to all users, creators, vendors, and stakeholders across all our platforms, including BoyFanz, GirlFanz, TransFanz, RedneckFanz, DLBroz, and others. By accessing or using any of our platforms, you agree to adhere to the policies outlined herein.

2. Statement of Ethics

Fanz Unlimited LLC is built on the principles of inclusivity, respect, transparency, and fairness. Our ethical guidelines are based on:

• Integrity: We act with honesty, transparency, and fairness in all of our interactions.

• Safety: We prioritize the safety of our users, especially when dealing with sensitive or explicit content.

• Compliance: We strictly adhere to all local, national, and international laws, as well as industry best practices, to protect our community.

3. Legal and Compliance Standards

3.1 Age Verification & 18 U.S.C. § 2257 Compliance

As an adult content platform, Fanz Unlimited LLC adheres to 18 U.S.C. § 2257, which mandates that every individual appearing in any sexually explicit material must be at least 18 years old. To ensure full compliance:

• Persona Verification: Both members and creators must complete Persona verification at sign-up. This process includes the submission of a valid government-issued ID and a real-time selfie for identity verification.

• Co-Star Verification: If content features multiple performers, each co-star must undergo the same verification process to ensure all parties are legally verified as being over the age of 18.

• Record Keeping: All age verification records are securely stored in accordance with 18 U.S.C. § 2257 requirements and are available for inspection by law enforcement agencies.

3.2 Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) Compliance

We do not knowingly collect, solicit, or share personal information from individuals under the age of 18. Any detected activity by a minor on the platform will result in immediate account suspension and a report to the relevant authorities. Fanz Unlimited LLC complies with COPPA and does not allow any minors to use or participate in the platform.

3.3 Know Your Customer (KYC)

We employ KYC protocols to prevent fraud and ensure the integrity of our community. Both creators and members are required to verify their identities using Persona, which verifies legal identity documents and matches them with a real-time selfie. This helps prevent identity fraud, ensure legal compliance, and maintain the security of transactions on our platform.

3.4 Content Licensing Agreements

Creators retain full ownership of the content they produce and upload to our platforms. By uploading content, creators grant Fanz Unlimited LLC a non-exclusive, worldwide license to display, distribute, promote, and monetize their content. Co-star agreements are mandatory when other individuals are involved in the production of the content, ensuring all parties understand and consent to the distribution of their likeness.

3.5 Data Retention Policy

To comply with international regulations, we have implemented strict data retention policies. We retain records of age verification, content licenses, and user activity for a minimum of five years in compliance with 18 U.S.C. § 2257 and international privacy regulations such as GDPR and CCPA. User data may be retained longer where required by law, but personal data will not be stored longer than necessary to meet legal requirements.

3.6 DMCA Compliance

Fanz Unlimited LLC respects intellectual property rights and complies with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). Our platform includes a DMCA Takedown Process:

• If a creator or third party believes their copyrighted material is being infringed upon, they may submit a DMCA takedown request using our online form.

• Upon receipt, we will investigate the claim and, if verified, promptly remove the infringing content and notify the alleged infringer. Repeat offenders may face account suspension or permanent removal from our platforms.

3.7 Taxation Compliance

All creators must comply with taxation laws. Fanz Unlimited LLC will collect W9 forms from U.S.-based creators and issue 1099 forms for tax reporting at the end of each fiscal year. Non-U.S. creators are subject to their local tax laws, and Fanz Unlimited LLC will ensure compliance with VAT, GST, and other applicable taxes in relevant jurisdictions. Creators are responsible for reporting and paying taxes on the income earned through our platform.

3.8 International Compliance (GDPR & CCPA)

We comply with international privacy laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the European Union and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) in the U.S. Users have the right to:
