Child Safety Standards Policy

1. Age Restriction and Verification

• Minimum Age Requirement: The Vybes platform is strictly for adults 18 years of age and older.
• Age Verification: Everyone must provide their date of birth when creating an account, and accounts under 18 cannot be created. Members must also pass an identity check, such as a face check matched to their profile photos, before their profile is shown to anyone.
• Enforcement: Any individuals signing up for the services that are suspected of being under the age of 18 will be rejected. If we suspect a user is under the age of 18 and accessing the platform, we will immediately review and remove their account.

2. Zero Tolerance for CSAE

Vybes maintains a zero-tolerance policy for CSAE. Any account engaging in such activities will be permanently banned and reported to relevant authorities, including law enforcement and child protection agencies.

3. Standards and Prohibited Conduct

Users must not engage in, solicit, produce, distribute, or facilitate the creation or dissemination of any content that exploits, harms, or threatens to harm children, including, but not limited to:

• Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM): Creating, sharing, requesting, or possessing CSAM.
• Grooming or Exploitation: Using the platform to groom or exploit minors.
• Illegal Content: Content or communication violating child protection laws.
• Sexualized Depictions: Child pornography or depictions of minors in sexual contexts, including AI-generated content.
• Solicitation: Attempting to meet, communicate with, or solicit personal information from minors for sexual purposes.
• Impersonation: Pretending to be a minor or misrepresenting age.
• Circumventing Safeguards: Any attempt to bypass age verification or platform restrictions.
• Harassment or Threats: Communications intended to intimidate, victimize, or sexualize minors.

4. Moderation and In-App Mechanism for Filing Reports

• Content Moderation: Vybes uses a combination of automated detection tools and human moderators to monitor all user-generated content including profiles, bios, photos, and messaging.
• User Reporting: We provide an in-app mechanism that allows users to submit feedback, concerns, or reports. Users may use this mechanism to report any content or behavior that violates this policy. Users may also make a report by emailing us at info@vybes.co. All reports are escalated to an appropriate team member to review.

5. Enforcement Actions

Vybes will take appropriate action for violations, which may include:

• Removing content or terminating accounts
• Reporting violations to law enforcement agencies
• Reporting to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC)
• Cooperating with authorities for further investigation

6. Legal Compliance

Vybes complies with all applicable laws concerning the protection of children, including cooperating with law enforcement agencies in their efforts to combat CSAE and reporting any detected CSAM to NCMEC. Users are responsible for ensuring their content does not contain or promote CSAE. Generating, sharing, or promoting CSAM is illegal and subject to severe criminal penalties under local, national, and international law.
