Child Safety Standards Policy

Effective date: November 02, 2025 Updated date: November 04, 2025

I ("AWAiS") take the safety and privacy of all the users very seriously, particularly when it comes to children. I am committed to maintaining a secure and respectful environment for everyone using my app, in compliance with privacy laws and regulations, including the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).

CSAM/CSAE Policy

1. Zero-Tolerance for CSAE

AddMe explicitly prohibits users from creating, uploading, sharing, soliciting, or distributing any content that:

  • Depicts, promotes, or facilitates the sexual abuse or exploitation of children (including child sexual abuse material – CSAM).
  • Engages in grooming, befriending, or initiating inappropriate contact with minors for sexual purposes.
  • Involves sextortion, trafficking, or commercial sexual exploitation of children.
  • Sexualizes minors or portrays them in a sexually suggestive manner.
  • Encourages or depicts predatory behavior toward children (e.g., groping, caressing, or any inappropriate interaction).

Violation of this policy will result in immediate account termination, content removal, and reporting to law enforcement and the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC).

2. In-App Reporting Mechanism

Users can report suspected CSAE or child safety concerns directly inside the AddMe app:

  • Tap the post on any social page, then tap on "Report".
  • Select "Child abuse / exploitation".
  • Submit by tapping "Send Report" button.

All reports are reviewed by me within 48 hours.

3. Reporting to Authorities

Upon obtaining actual knowledge of CSAM or CSAE:

  • I will immediately remove the content.
  • I may preserve evidence for law enforcement.
  • I may report to the appropriate regional authorities.

4. Compliance with Child Safety Laws

AddMe complies with all applicable child safety laws, including but not limited to:

  • Google Play Child Safety Standards (official policy)
  • COPPA, GDPR-K, and regional equivalents

6. Apps Appealing to Children

AddMe is not directed to children under 13. I:

  • Do not allow content with excessive violence, gore, or dangerous activities.
  • Prohibit apps that promote negative body image, cosmetic surgery, or weight-loss fads targeted at minors.

COPPA Policy

1. Age Restrictions

AddMe is intended for users aged 13 and older. Since I do not collect date of birth information during account registration, I cannot verify the age of my users. Therefore, I ask that users who are under 13 refrain from using AddMe. If you believe that someone under the age of 13 has used the app, please contact me immediately.

2. Parental Control and Consent

I strongly encourage parents and guardians to be proactive in supervising their children’s use of AddMe. If your child is using the app, it’s important to ensure they understand how to use the app safely and responsibly.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has used AddMe without your consent, or that their personal information has been collected, please contact me immediately so I can take the necessary steps to address the situation.

3. No Personal Information from Children

AddMe does not knowingly collect any personal information from children under 13. Since I cannot verify the age of users, if you suspect that your child under the age of 13 has shared personal information on AddMe, please reach out to me, and I will take prompt action to delete that information from my system.

4. Reporting Concerns

I am committed to providing a safe environment, and if you encounter any concerns—whether it’s inappropriate content or user behavior—please do not hesitate to contact me. I provide an easy way for users to report others or issues directly to me.

You can report any concerns or inappropriate activity to me via email at awais@awaisome.com.

5. Third-Party Services

AddMe may integrate third-party services, including for analytics, advertising, or other features. These third-party services may collect user data, and while they are not intended to target children, I encourage parents to review the privacy policies of these services. I am not responsible for the data practices of third parties.

6. Data Security

I am dedicated to ensuring that user data is secure and protected. I use industry-standard security measures to safeguard personal information. Access to personal data is restricted to me only, and I utilize encryption and other technologies to protect it.

7. Access to Content

AddMe offers a platform for social interaction, which may involve sharing and viewing content. While I provide various safety features, it is important for parents to monitor and guide their children’s interactions with others on the app.

8. Compliance with Laws

AddMe complies with applicable laws and regulations regarding children’s privacy, including the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) in the U.S. and other relevant global child protection laws.

9. Changes to this Policy

I may update this Child Safety Standards Policy from time to time to reflect changes in my practices or legal requirements. I encourage you to review this policy periodically for the latest information.
