Child Safety Standards

Our Commitment

PalsSocial is committed to providing a safe environment for all users. We have zero tolerance for child sexual abuse and exploitation (CSAE) content or behavior on our platform. Protecting minors is a top priority, and we take proactive measures to prevent, detect, and respond to any potential child safety concerns.

Age Requirements

PalsSocial is designed for users aged 13 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Users must confirm they meet the minimum age requirement during account registration. We may terminate accounts if we discover a user does not meet our age requirements.

Prohibited Content and Behavior

The following is strictly prohibited on PalsSocial:

• Any content depicting or promoting child sexual abuse material (CSAM)
• Sexualized content involving minors in any form
• Grooming behavior or communication intended to exploit minors
• Sharing of content that sexualizes minors
• Solicitation of minors for sexual purposes
• Any content that endangers the safety or well-being of minors
• Sextortion or blackmail targeting minors

Detection and Prevention

We employ multiple measures to detect and prevent CSAE content:

• Content Moderation: We actively monitor content shared on our platform
• User Reports: We provide easy-to-use in-app reporting tools for users to flag concerning content or behavior
• Account Verification: Age verification during sign-up to prevent underage users
• Trained Team: Our moderation team is trained to identify and respond to child safety issues

Reporting Child Safety Concerns

If you encounter any content or behavior that may endanger a child, please report it immediately:

• In-App Reporting: Use the report feature available on profiles, messages, and content
• Email: Contact us directly at social@pals.social

All reports are reviewed promptly and treated with the highest priority.

When we identify violations of our child safety standards, we take immediate action:

• Immediate removal of violating content
• Permanent account suspension for users who violate child safety policies
• Reporting to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) as required by law
• Cooperation with law enforcement agencies and relevant authorities
