Child Safety Standards

1. Our commitment

Vlahiskoi has zero tolerance for child sexual abuse and exploitation (CSAE) in any form, including child sexual abuse material (CSAM), grooming, sextortion, trafficking, or any other conduct that endangers a minor. This applies across every part of the app and everyone who uses it — no exceptions, and no warnings before removal.

This page describes the standards we hold ourselves to, how we work to prevent and detect abuse, how anyone can report a concern, and how we respond once something is reported.

2. Zero-tolerance policy

We do not allow, and will act immediately to remove:

• Any content that sexualizes, exploits, or endangers a minor, in any format.
• Any attempt to solicit, groom, or build inappropriate trust with a minor.
• Any account, message, listing, or piece of content that facilitates access to CSAM or to minors for exploitative purposes.
• Any attempt to use Vlahiskoi's messaging, community, or marketplace features to arrange contact with a minor for a sexual purpose.

Violating accounts are removed. Where we're able to, we preserve evidence to support law enforcement action, and we report CSAM to the relevant authorities as required by law.

3. Prevention & account safeguards

We build safeguards into the product itself, not just the policy:

• Age-related terms. Our Terms of Service set a minimum age to use Vlahiskoi, and accounts found to belong to someone below that age are removed.
• In-app reporting. Every account, message, and piece of user content can be reported directly from within the app.
• Blocking & restriction. Users can block or restrict contact from another account at any time, without needing to explain why.
• Staff training. Team members involved in trust & safety review are trained to recognize and escalate CSAE indicators.

4. Detection & review

We review reported content and accounts against this policy, and we use a combination of automated signals and human review to identify likely CSAE activity, including known-CSAM detection tooling where applicable to the type of content involved. Detection is layered with reporting from users — both matter, and neither replaces the other.

5. Reporting a concern

If you see something that concerns you, please report it right away:

• In the app: use the report option on the relevant account, message, or listing.
• By email: contact our designated safety contact at safety@vlahiscoi.com with as much detail as you can share (account name, links, screenshots, dates).

You don't need to be the person directly affected to report something. If a child is in immediate danger, please contact local emergency services first.

6. Our response process

When a report or detection involves suspected CSAE, we:

• Prioritize the review — CSAE reports are treated as urgent, ahead of routine moderation queues.
• Remove violating content and suspend or terminate the associated account.
• Preserve relevant records to support a law enforcement investigation, where we're legally able to.
• Report confirmed CSAM to the appropriate authority, including the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) or the equivalent body in the relevant jurisdiction, as required by law.

7. Cooperation with authorities

We cooperate with law enforcement and child-safety organizations investigating CSAE, consistent with applicable law. This includes responding to valid legal process and, where legally required or permitted, proactively reporting confirmed CSAM.

8. Designated point of contact

Our designated point of contact for CSAM prevention practices and compliance is our Trust & Safety team, reachable at safety@vlahiscoi.com. This contact is able to speak directly to how Vlahiskoi prevents, detects, and responds to CSAE, and to respond to inquiries from app-store platforms, regulators, or law enforcement on this topic.

9. Resources for families

If you're a parent, guardian, or young person looking for help or more information:

• NCMEC CyberTipline — report suspected child sexual exploitation (US).
• missingkids.org — resources and support from NCMEC.
• INHOPE — a network of hotlines for reporting CSAM outside the US.

10. Changes to these standards

We may update this page as our practices evolve or as applicable law changes. If we make material changes, we'll update the "Last updated" date above.
