SILKY FANZ PRIVACY POLICY

Last Updated: June 1st, 2026

Silky Fanz (“we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Platform”), operated at silkyfanz.com, is committed to protecting the privacy, security, and digital identity of our users. This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) explains how we collect, use, disclose, retain, and protect your personal information when you visit or use our website, services, applications, and any associated features (collectively, the “Services”).

Please read this Policy carefully. By accessing or using the Services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to the data practices described herein. If you do not agree with this Policy, you must immediately cease using our Services.

1. CATEGORIES OF INFORMATION WE COLLECT

We collect personal information about two primary user groups: Fans (users who subscribe to, view, or purchase content) and Creators (users who produce and upload content to the Platform).

We collect this data through three main avenues: information you provide directly to us, information collected automatically, and information received from third-party partners.

1.1 Information Collected Directly From Users

1.2 Information Collected Automatically

When you interact with Silky Fanz, we automatically collect certain technical and behavioral data:

• Technical Log Data: IP address, browser type and version, operating system, device type, device hashes, screen resolution, and language settings.

• Geolocation Data: Approximate geographic location derived from IP addresses. Precise GPS location is not collected unless required for regulatory/legal compliance or explicitly authorized by you.

• Usage and Interaction Data: Time stamps, pages visited, duration of visits, referral URLs, links clicked, search queries within the Platform, and interaction with other users or content (e.g., subscriptions, tips, likes).

1.3 Information From Third-Party Partners

We may receive information about you from:

• Identity Verification Vendors: Third-party compliance providers who verify the authenticity of your government ID, validate your age, and perform AML (Anti-Money Laundering) or KYC (Know Your Customer) screenings.

• Payment Processors: Payment status updates, fraud risk assessments, and chargeback notifications.

• Regulatory & Law Enforcement Bodies: Official inquiries or alerts regarding compliance, safety, or intellectual property rights.

2. LEGAL BASIS AND HOW WE USE YOUR DATA

We process your personal information strictly in accordance with applicable data protection laws. Under international frameworks (such as the GDPR), our processing activities are grounded on specific legal bases:

2.1 To Perform Our Contractual Commitments to You

• To establish, maintain, and manage your account.

• To process payments, tips, subscriptions, and execute payouts to Creators.

• To enable internal platform messaging, interactions, and content delivery.

2.2 To Comply With Our Legal Obligations

• Age and Identity Verification: To verify that all users are at least 18 years of age (or the legal age of majority in their jurisdiction) prior to accessing adult content.

• Federal Record-Keeping (18 U.S.C. § 2257): To verify, document, and maintain records of the identities of all performers appearing in sexually explicit content hosted on the Platform.

• Tax Compliance: To collect, verify, and file tax documents (e.g., 1099-NEC, W-9, W-8BEN) with appropriate taxing authorities.

• Legal Inquiries: To cooperate with valid law enforcement requests, court orders, subpoenas, and to prevent, detect, and mitigate Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM), non-consensual content (revenge porn), or human trafficking.

2.3 For Our Legitimate Interests

• To detect, prevent, and mitigate fraud, chargebacks, and malicious activity.

• To optimize platform performance, troubleshoot system issues, and analyze user trends.

• To enforce our Terms of Service (ToS) and protect the rights, property, safety, and security of Silky Fanz, our employees, and our community.

2.4 Based on Your Consent

• For specific marketing communications (where required by law).

• For the collection and processing of biometric facial geometry scans to match your live selfie with your government-issued ID card. This data is handled in strict compliance with our Biometric Information Privacy Notice (Section 4.1).

3. THIRD-PARTY SHARING AND DATA TRANSFERS

Silky Fanz does not sell, lease, rent, or share your personal information to third parties for monetary consideration or cross-context behavioral advertising.

We only disclose your information to the following categories of trusted third parties in order to operate our Platform and comply with the law:

1. Identity & Age Verification Service Providers: Third-party automated verification platforms that analyze government-issued identification cards and utilize biometric facial recognition to confirm your identity and legal age.

2. Payment Processing & Financial Institutions: PCI-DSS compliant payment gateways and acquiring banks to process credit/debit card transactions, and secure payout providers to route funds to Creators.

3. Cloud Infrastructure & Hosting Providers: Industry-standard secure hosting, content delivery networks (CDNs), and database storage providers.

4. Professional Advisors: Legal counsel, auditors, and tax professionals who assist in compliance, corporate governance, and litigation.

5. Law Enforcement, Regulatory, and Judicial Authorities: We will disclose user data if required to do so by law, or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to:

   • Comply with a legal obligation, subpoena, or court order.

   • Protect and defend the rights or property of Silky Fanz.

   • Act in urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users, creators, or the public.

   • Report suspected violations involving CSAM or non-consensual sexual content directly to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) or relevant law enforcement bodies.

International Data Transfers

Our servers are located in the United States. If you reside in the European Union (EU), United Kingdom (UK), Canada, or other jurisdictions with strict data transfer regulations, please note that your personal data will be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States. We implement appropriate safeguards (such as Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission) to ensure your data receives an equivalent level of protection.

4. AGE VERIFICATION, MINOR PROTECTION, AND RECORD-KEEPING

Due to the nature of our platform, we maintain an absolute zero-tolerance policy for underage access, exploitation, and illegal content.

4.1 Biometric & Identity Verification Disclosure

To prevent underage registrations and satisfy identity verification mandates:

• Creators must submit a government-issued photo ID and a real-time facial photo (selfie).

• We utilize external specialized verification partners to analyze these images. Our partners may extract biometric indicators (facial geometry templates) to verify that the photo on the ID matches the selfie.

• Biometric templates are processed solely for authentication and fraud prevention. Silky Fanz does not store biometric templates on its own servers. Any biometric data generated by our verification partners is retained only for the duration of the verification transaction and is securely destroyed immediately thereafter, or within a maximum of thirty (30) days, unless a longer retention period is mandated by law or court order.

4.2 18 U.S.C. § 2257 Compliance Record-Keeping

Under United States federal law (18 U.S.C. § 2257), we are required to maintain highly detailed records for all Creators who upload sexually explicit content. This includes:

• The Creator's legal name, any stage names or professional aliases, and date of birth.

• A photocopy of a valid, government-issued identification document.

• Documentation linking the verified identity to specific content uploaded.

• Retention Period: These compliance records must be maintained by the Platform for a minimum of five (5) years from the date the content is produced or hosted on our servers, or as otherwise required by federal law, and are subject to inspection by the Department of Justice.

5. DATA SECURITY AND RETENTION

5.1 Technical and Administrative Safeguards

We implement robust administrative, technical, and physical security measures designed to protect your personal data from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or destruction:

• All financial transactions and data transmissions are encrypted using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) / Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocols.

• Database encryption is utilized for sensitive storage.

• Access to sensitive personal data (such as identification documents and financial details) is strictly restricted to authorized employees on a "need-to-know" basis.

• Regular vulnerability scans and security audits are performed on our systems.

Please note, however, that no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

5.2 General Retention Schedules

We retain your personal data only as long as your account remains active, or as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Policy, including:

• Account Data: Retained for the lifetime of your active account.

• Financial & Tax Transactions: Retained for a minimum of seven (7) years to satisfy auditing, accounting, and tax regulations.

• IP Logs & Technical Data: Generally purged or anonymized within ninety (90) to one-hundred and eighty (180) days, unless flagged for security investigation or fraud mitigation.

7. COOKIES AND TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES

We use cookies, web beacons, pixel tags, and similar tracking technologies to analyze trends, administer the platform, and track users' movements around the site.

7.1 Categories of Cookies We Use

• Strictly Necessary Cookies: Essential for the basic functioning of the website, such as managing user sessions, processing secure payments, and maintaining age-gate compliance status. These cannot be disabled.

• Functional Cookies: Allow the website to remember choices you make (such as your language selection or login credentials) to provide a more personalized experience.

• Analytics/Performance Cookies: Help us understand how visitors interact with the site by collecting and reporting information anonymously (e.g., page views, error rates). We do not use these cookies to serve targeted ads.

7.2 Managing Cookie Preferences

You can configure your browser to reject all or some cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent. Please consult your browser's "Help" section to learn how to manage these settings. If you disable or refuse cookies, some parts of the Silky Fanz platform may become inaccessible or fail to function properly.

7.3 Global Privacy Control (GPC) and Do Not Track (DNT)

Our platform is designed to respect the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal. If your browser transmits a GPC signal, we interpret this as a valid request to limit the use of any non-essential cookies. Because there is currently no uniform industry standard for recognizing "Do Not Track" (DNT) signals, our systems do not currently respond to generic DNT browser headers, unless accompanied by a recognized GPC configuration.
