18 U.S.C. § 2257 Exemption Statement

No Real Persons Depicted

All visual content made available through Sweetz.ai ("Service") is generated by artificial intelligence. No real human being is depicted in any image, video, or audio produced by the Service. Characters, likenesses, voices, and personas are synthetic compositions generated from prompts and neural network outputs.

Why This Statement Is Published

The record-keeping and labeling requirements of 18 U.S.C. § 2257 and § 2257A apply to visual depictions of actual human beings engaged in sexually explicit conduct. Because the Service produces no such depictions — all imagery is AI-generated and does not originate from the likeness or performance of any identifiable person — the Service falls outside the scope of 18 U.S.C. § 2257 and § 2257A.

We nonetheless publish this statement so that users, payment processors, hosting providers, and other third parties have clear notice of the nature of the content.

Safeguards & Policies

The Service operates under the following safeguards:

• Age verification at signup: every account holder must affirmatively attest to being 18 years of age or older before access is granted. The timestamp, IP address, and device fingerprint of that attestation are recorded.
• Model guardrails: generation pipelines are trained and prompted to refuse content that depicts or implies minors, non-consensual scenarios, or real identifiable individuals.
• User-facing reporting tools: a takedown workflow is available via our content removal page.
• Prompt-level moderation: chat and image generation are screened server-side and blocked if they match disallowed patterns.

Designated Custodian of Records

Although the Service is exempt from 18 U.S.C. § 2257 and § 2257A record-keeping obligations because no real human beings are depicted, we publish the following Custodian of Records contact as a courtesy to law-enforcement, payment processors, hosting providers, and other compliance reviewers:

Custodian of Records:
Compliance Officer, Sweetz Digital Ltd

Statutory Text — 18 U.S.C. § 2257A (Exemption for AI-Only Content)

For the convenience of reviewers, the operative subsection of 18 U.S.C. § 2257A is reproduced below. Under § 2257A(a), the record-keeping requirements apply to whoever produces visual depictions of actual human beings engaged in simulated sexually explicit conduct. The Service produces no such depictions:

“Whoever, in a circumstance described in subsection (b), produces any book, magazine, periodical, film, videotape, digital image, digitally- or computer-manipulated image of an actual human being, picture, or other matter that contains 1 or more visual depictions made after the date of the enactment of this subsection of simulated sexually explicit conduct shall, with respect to each performer portrayed in such a visual depiction, maintain the records required by section 2257.”

— 18 U.S.C. § 2257A(a). Emphasis ours on "actual human being" — every visual depiction produced by the Service is fully synthetic and does not portray any actual person.

Reporting Suspected Violations

If you believe any content hosted on the Service depicts a real person, falls within the scope of 18 U.S.C. § 2257 or § 2257A, or otherwise violates our acceptable use policy, contact the Custodian above or submit a takedown request via our content removal page. Initial acknowledgement target: 72 hours. Urgent reports (child safety, CSAM, real-person likeness): 24 hours.
