Review of Producer Submitted Content

Every upload is subject to automated and human review prior to publishing. Human review can be time consuming. As such, our content management system (CMS) assigns uploads to content managers and they are queued for processing. Producers can view the status of the uploads in the admin area of their account. Once approved, Content can is scheduled for release.

Automated review processes assist content managers and force certain mandatory required checks. Additionally, certain checks occur periodically, automatically.

An example of an automated review process:

• Model count checks that compare the visually-inspected number of models, as reported by content manager, to number of models assigned to Content by the Producer.

An example of a periodic, automated review process:

• Detection of red flag and banned words in Content, associated channel descriptions, and social media comments/posts.
  • Banned and red flag words can be added to the system at any time, and it is important to maintain continuing compliance by checking for these words periodically.
  • Red flag words trigger a more comprehensive human review process of Content, channel descriptions, and social media comments/posts that appear on Sites.
  • Banned words also trigger a review process, however, these words themselves are banned from appearing on Sites, regardless of context. Banned words are prohibited from search and indexing.
  • Nearly 300 words are currently organized into 10 categories: forced sex, illegal acts, oscene acts, offensive acts, acts while sleeping, trafficking and prostitution, underage acts, acts while under the influence, and violent acts.

Content managers, as part of their review, watch all submitted Content in their entirety. Subsequently, they complete their non-compliance and compliance review, including:

• Non-compliance tasks include determining if Content meets the basic requirements for premium Content, including but not limited to duration, resolution, codecs, competitive watermarks, number of models, use of condoms, production quality, videographic quality, and reuse; reviewing and editing previews within specified parameters, such as duration, and marketability, and choosing corner for branded watermarks to be overlayed; making sure there is no third party branding, watermarks, or signs of third party involvement in the Content; approving and/or choosing screenshots based on quality and marketability, and categorizing Content by theme; reviewing previews and screenshots to make sure they best represent the Content, determining positioning of Content in various areas of the sitem ie. "What's Hot," or direct-to-channel; pricing download-to-own; reviewing Producer specific notes, such as special requests for how to edit previews or the order to release a batch of scenes; and scheduling Content.
• Compliance review tasks include verifying models match those assigned by Producer; provide a visual count of models; making sure prohibited illegal or objectionable activities, or depictions of these activities, do not exist in the Content.
• Such activities include, but are not limited to, child pornography or models that "visually appear" to be underage; non-consensual or forced sex (including sex under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or sex with a partner that is not fully awake or fully coherent); soliciting sex; child trafficking; use of illegal drugs; obscene acts (such as scat) and violent acts (such as bloodsport, induced pain or torture). Content that fails inspection goes into our purgatory system and the Producer is flagged for review.
• Purgatory is a highly restricted area that is unavailable to the public (ie., that requires backend system access using a VPN), yet allows us to have a repository for future review of questionable Content. Producers that have Content flagged are subject to an account review, and possible termination, or referral to law enforcement or other authorities.

User Complaint Process (aka "Report Content")

• In the event a user believes there is an issue with Content, such as violating the law or being objectionable, the user can file a complaint. "Report issue with content" links are available for all Content on Sites. User is provided a list of reasons to choose from, "Technical problem, Violent or repulsive Content, Hateful or abusive Content, Harmful dangerous acts, Child abuse, Infringes my rights." Once chosen, the appropriate form is presented.
• PPVNetworks policy is to review and resolve all reported Content complaints within seven (7) business days. In the event there is evidence of illegal Content, it will be removed immediately. Reporting of user complaints, as well as the steps taken to resolve the complaints, is logged and retained for compliance purposes.
• Any person depicted in Content can request for that Content to be removed. PPVNetworks will remove the Content from Sites, or the complainant from the Content, within seven (7) business days.
• If Content is placed into purgatory (removed), or a Producer terminated, the Producer and complainant will be notified of these actions. As determined by PPVNetworks, there are situations where a Producer may be given the opportunity to explain or prove why they believe a complaint was in error. Only when both the complainant and complainee are in agreement that a complaint and/or subsequent resolution by PPVNetworks were in error, will a resolution be undone.
• In the context of MC/VISA regulations, the appropriate entities will be notified of complaints and resolutions.

Complaint Report for Acquirer (aka "Transparency Report")

• Complaint Report for Acquirer provides a listing of all complaints, including reported content, complainant's username/email address, date of complaint, date of resolution, reason category, description of complaint, URLs of Content reported, status of complaint, and more.
• Timestamped response actions taken by PPVNetworks to resolve the complaint are logged and associated with the complaint.
• Once a month, we email the report providing the prior month's complaints to the appropriate entities.
