18 U.S.C. § 2257 Compliance Statement

TheVirtualCompanion AI (“this Site”) operates as an editorial and information resource. We publish reviews, comparisons, and guides covering third-party AI companion services, and we link visitors to those services.

Exemption

Every visual element published here falls into one of two categories: material made up solely of text and graphics, which sits outside the scope of the record-keeping obligations in 18 U.S.C. § 2257, or material exempt under 18 U.S.C. § 2257(h)(2)(B)(v) together with 28 C.F.R. § 75.1(c)(2).

We Are Not a Primary Producer

This Site neither creates nor stores visual depictions of real people engaged in sexually explicit conduct, whether actual or simulated. What we publish is limited to:

  • Interface screenshots and brand marks belonging to the services we cover
  • Written reviews, commentary, and editorial analysis
  • Imagery produced by AI systems or computer graphics
  • Informational text, guides, and comparison material

Material Originating Elsewhere

Where any depiction of a real person appears on these pages, it has come from a third-party service. Responsibility for the associated records rests with that service and with its designated custodian of records, not with us.

Synthetic Imagery

Visual material shown across this Site is machine-generated. Because no actual human being is depicted, such material carries no record-keeping obligation under 18 U.S.C. § 2257.

Our Role

We function purely as a review and referral resource. Each platform we write about maintains its own legal compliance, including any duties arising under 18 U.S.C. § 2257. We make no representation on behalf of those platforms and exercise no control over their content.
