Law Enforcement Guidelines

These Guidelines describe how Beyond Media Group ("BMG") responds to requests from law-enforcement and other government authorities seeking information about users of BeyondFans Creator Studio. They are intended for government personnel; they are not legal advice and do not create rights for users or obligations on BMG beyond those imposed by law. Nothing in these Guidelines limits BMG's right to object to any request.

United States. BMG requires valid legal process: a subpoena for basic subscriber information, a 2703(d) order for non-content records, and a search warrant for content. Civil subpoenas must comply with the applicable rules of the issuing jurisdiction.

International requests. Authorities outside the United States should proceed via a mutual legal assistance treaty (MLAT) or letters rogatory. BMG generally does not respond to direct requests from foreign authorities outside a recognized treaty mechanism, except for voluntary preservation and for emergency disclosures as described below.

Emergency disclosures. Under 18 U.S.C. §2702(b)(8) and (c)(4), BMG may disclose content or records to a governmental entity without delay if we have a good-faith belief that an emergency involving imminent danger of death or serious physical injury requires immediate disclosure. Emergency requests must be sent from an official government email address and must include a narrative describing the emergency.

Send legal process to: [email protected]. Service of non-emergency process by email is accepted; we confirm receipt within three (3) business days.

Process by mail should be addressed to the custodian of records at the address shown in the §2257 Compliance Statement; this address will be updated as BMG's registered business address is finalized.

To help us locate the correct account, please include: the username or account email; any relevant user identifier or URL; the timeframe of interest; and a clear statement of the data sought.

We accept preservation requests under 18 U.S.C. §2703(f) for up to 90 days, renewable once for an additional 90 days on written request, pending receipt of appropriate legal process. Preservation requests do not compel disclosure; production requires separate legal process.

Subject to legal process of the appropriate type and scope, we may disclose:

• basic subscriber information (name, email, account-creation date, IP addresses used to create and access the account);
• non-content transactional records (logins, generation metadata, payment metadata);
• content (prompts, Outputs, uploaded reference material) — only in response to a search warrant issued by a court of competent jurisdiction, except in emergencies.

We produce only records we have and only within the scope of the legal process. We object to requests that are overbroad, vague, lack a nexus to the issuing jurisdiction, or seek data we do not retain.

Our policy is to notify users of legal process seeking their data so they may seek to quash or challenge the process, unless we are prohibited from doing so by a court order (including a non-disclosure order under 18 U.S.C. §2705(b)) or by statute, or unless we determine in good faith that notice would create a risk of injury to any person, flight from prosecution, witness tampering, destruction of evidence, or an otherwise serious impediment to an investigation.

We may seek reimbursement for reasonable costs in producing records pursuant to legal process, to the extent permitted by 18 U.S.C. §2706 and other applicable law.
