2257 Compliance

Last Updated: [04/09/2025]

 

All Things Kink operates in full compliance with the requirements of 18 U.S.C. § 2257 and the regulations set forth by the U.S. Department of Justice at 28 C.F.R. Part 75. This statement outlines our adherence to federal recordkeeping and labeling obligations for visual content that may depict individuals in a sexual context.

 

Purpose of This Statement

This compliance statement is provided to affirm that All Things Kink meets its legal responsibilities as a publisher of adult-oriented educational content. We are committed to protecting the rights and safety of all individuals featured in or associated with our materials.

 

Scope of Content

All Things Kink is primarily an audio podcast and educational platform focused on open, honest, and inclusive discussions about kink, sexuality, intimacy, and human desire. Our core content includes:

  • Podcast episodes (audio-only)
  • Written articles, blog posts, and resources
  • Interviews with educators, practitioners, and thought leaders
  • Promotional and editorial images (e.g., host photos, event graphics, guest headshots)
 

We do not produce, distribute, or host visual depictions of sexually explicit conduct as defined by federal law.

 

Use of Visual Content

On rare occasions, All Things Kink may share or link to third-party visual content (such as event photos, educational demonstrations, or social media posts) that include adults in consensual, kink-affirming contexts. In all such cases:

  • No sexually explicit conduct (as legally defined) is depicted
  • All individuals are at least 18 years of age
  • Any imagery used for educational or promotional purposes is shared with informed consent
  • We do not act as a “primary producer” of such content
 

When content is produced by others, we verify that the original producer maintains complete 2257 records, including government-issued identification and model releases.

 

Recordkeeping

As a secondary publisher, All Things Kink does not create sexually explicit visual content. Therefore, we are not required to maintain 2257 records for performers. However, when we are involved in the creation of any visual material featuring individuals:

  • Full age verification is conducted using valid government-issued photo ID
  • Signed model releases are obtained and securely stored
  • Records are kept for a minimum of five years and are available for inspection by the U.S. Department of Justice upon request
 

Compliance Responsibility

The designated compliance officer for All Things Kink is responsible for overseeing adherence to these requirements.

  • No such content is produced or hosted on this platform
  • Any visual material shared is editorial, educational, or promotional in nature and does not depict sexually explicit conduct
  • Where third-party content is referenced or linked, it originates from compliant producers who maintain required records
 

Final Note

This website is intended solely for adults 18 years of age and older. All content is presented in the context of education, empowerment, and sexual health. We uphold the highest standards of consent, inclusivity, legality, and respect.
