Child Sexual Abuse and Exploitation Prevention Standards

At Genuine Connection, the safety of our community is our highest priority. We maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of child sexual abuse, exploitation, or grooming. These standards outline our prevention methods, detection technologies, and reporting obligations.

01. Zero-Tolerance Policy

Genuine Connection strictly prohibits:

  • Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM): Creation, possession, sharing, or distribution of content depicting sexual abuse of minors.
  • Grooming: Any behavior intended to build a relationship with a minor for sexual exploitation.
  • Sextortion: Threats to release sensitive images of a minor to coerce sexual acts or financial payment.
  • Illegal Solicitation: Any attempt to solicit sexual services involving a minor.

02. Detection and Moderation Technologies

We employ a multi-layered safety framework:

  • Automated Hashing Technology: Industry-standard hashing systems, such as PhotoDNA or equivalent, detect and block known CSAM before distribution.
  • Keyword Monitoring: Automated systems flag high-risk keywords associated with grooming or exploitation.
  • Human Review: A dedicated moderation team continuously reviews flagged content and user reports.

03. Mandatory Reporting and Law Enforcement Cooperation

  • NCMEC Reporting: All identified CSAM is reported to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children CyberTipline.
  • Law Enforcement Cooperation: We cooperate with global law enforcement agencies, including the FBI and Interpol, to assist investigations and prosecution.
  • Data Preservation: Relevant account information, logs, and associated records are preserved in accordance with applicable law.

04. User Reporting Mechanisms

  • In-App Reporting: Use “Report” on profiles or message threads and select “Child Safety.”
  • Direct Contact: Email concerns to info@genuineconnection.com.

We review all child safety reports promptly and take immediate action where appropriate, including suspension, termination, and reporting to authorities.
