Child Safety Standards & CSAE Prevention Policy

Effective Date: October 6, 2026

1. Our Commitment to Child Safety

InnerCircle is dedicated to maintaining a safe, private space designed strictly for authentic moments shared among close, trusted real-life friends. Protecting minors and preventing any form of child sexual abuse, exploitation, grooming, or child sexual abuse material (CSAM) is a top operational priority across our mobile and web applications.

2. In-App Reporting of Child Safety Concerns

InnerCircle provides immediate, accessible, and anonymous in-app reporting mechanisms for all users across native Android, iOS, and Web platforms:

• Post & Moment Reporting: Users can tap the Report action directly on any moment, photo, short clip, or comment to submit a report for urgent moderation review.
• User Blocking & Flagging: Users can immediately block or flag any account directly within profile or connection views.
• Immediate Action: Content flagged for child safety or CSAE triggers immediate removal from feeds, account suspension pending review, and automated escalation to our safety team.

3. Proactive Prevention & Screening

To prevent the proliferation of harmful content before or at the point of distribution:

• Closed Circle Architecture: InnerCircle does not feature a public algorithmic feed or open search discovery. Content is shared strictly within designated, private circles or direct mutual connections.
• Media Pre-Processing: All uploaded photos and short videos undergo client-side sanitization and validation prior to transmission.
• Automated & Human Triage: Reported content is triaged with highest priority given to child protection flags.

4. Compliance with Child Safety Laws & Authority Reporting

InnerCircle strictly complies with all applicable local, national, and international child protection legislation, including:

• NCMEC Reporting: In compliance with 18 U.S.C. § 2258A and international standards, when InnerCircle obtains actual knowledge of apparent CSAM or child exploitation, we report the incident promptly to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) CyberTipline and cooperate fully with relevant regional and national law enforcement authorities.
• Data Preservation: Where required by law, we preserve forensic logs and relevant account records to aid official law enforcement investigations while keeping offending materials inaccessible to users.

5. Age Requirements & Restrictions

InnerCircle is intended solely for users aged 13 and older (or the applicable minimum legal age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly permit children under 13 to create accounts or post media.

6. Designated Child Safety Point of Contact

In accordance with Google Play's Child Safety Standards policy, InnerCircle maintains a designated, responsive point of contact authorized and prepared to speak on child sexual abuse material (CSAM) prevention practices, compliance, and law enforcement coordination:
