### **1. Introduction**
Chat2Women complies with the record-keeping requirements of **18 U.S.C. § 2257** and its associated regulations. This law mandates that all operators of websites hosting sexually explicit content maintain records verifying the age of all individuals depicted in such content.
**Important Note:**
While our platform focuses on chat-based interactions and virtual relationships, we adhere to § 2257 requirements to ensure full legal compliance for all user-generated content (e.g., text, images, videos) that may fall under the definition of "sexually explicit material."

### **2. Record-Keeping Requirements**

All Creators who share content (e.g., photos, videos, or text-based interactions) that could be construed as "sexually explicit" under U.S. law **must**:
1. Submit valid government-issued identification (e.g., passport, driver’s license) to verify they are **19+ years old**.
2. Provide additional documentation (e.g., birth certificate) if requested by our moderation team.
3. Consent to our **manual verification process**, where moderators cross-check IDs against submitted content.
#### **For Customers and Users (Men in the USA):**
- Customers and Users are not required to submit § 2257 records unless they share explicit content.
- All Users must still verify their age (19+) during signup.
