Child Safety Standards

YOBO APPLICATION — Child Safety Standards (against CSAE)

Last updated: October 25, 2025
App name: YOBO APPLICATION
Purpose: Set clear, public standards and procedures to prevent, detect, and respond to child sexual abuse and exploitation (CSAE) across YOBO's services.

1. Scope & Applicability

These standards apply to all YOBO products, services, platforms, and third-party integrations that the company develops, operates, or controls. They apply to all users, employees, contractors, agents, and partners.

2. Definitions

  • Child / Minor: Any person under 18 years of age.

  • CSAE (Child Sexual Abuse and Exploitation): Any sexual content, contact, grooming, exploitation, or material involving a child. Includes images, video, text describing abuse, solicitations, grooming behavior, and trafficking.

  • CSAM: Child sexual abuse material (images/videos).

  • Grooming: Actions to befriend, manipulate, or coerce a child into sexual activity or sharing sexual content.

3. Prohibited Content & Behavior

YOBO strictly prohibits the following on its platform:

  • Any CSAM or sexual content involving minors.

  • Solicitations, grooming, or sexual conversations with minors.

  • Sharing, uploading, storing, or linking to CSAM.

  • Any facilitation of sexual exploitation or trafficking of children.

Any content or accounts that fall into these categories will be removed and subject to enforcement (see Section 7).

4. Prevention & Safety-by-Design

YOBO embeds child safety into product design:

  • Default privacy: Minimized public exposure for accounts that identify as minors; private-by-default settings for profiles that indicate an age under 18.

  • Age minimization: Collect only minimal age data required to provide services; use age-appropriate UI and restrictions.

  • Parental controls & guardianship features: Optional parental/guardian oversight tools where relevant and lawful.

  • Limits on direct contact: Prevent or limit direct messaging between adults and accounts known or likely to be minors unless safety controls are enabled.

5. Age Verification & Handling Suspicion of Minor Accounts

  • When reasonable suspicion exists that an account belongs to a minor and age affects allowed functionality (or legal compliance), YOBO may request additional verification in a privacy-preserving manner.

  • Verification methods will respect privacy and local law; do not require unnecessary sensitive data.

6. Detection & Moderation

  • Automated detection: Use industry-standard hashing (e.g., PhotoDNA-like hashes), machine learning classifiers, and pattern detection to identify likely CSAM and grooming behaviors while minimizing false positives.

  • Human review: Trained moderation staff review flagged material quickly and confidentially.

  • Safety triage: High-priority CSAM and imminent-harm cases are escalated immediately to the Safety Response Team.

7. Reporting, Takedown & Enforcement

  • User reporting: Provide an in-app and web reporting flow for suspected CSAE (easy, prominent “Report” button).

  • Takedown timeframes: Immediately remove confirmed CSAM and materially harmful content upon discovery or credible report.

  • Account action: Range from content removal, account suspension, to permanent ban depending on severity and recidivism.

  • Appeals: Provide a clear appeals process for wrongful enforcement decisions.

8. Law Enforcement & Legal Compliance

  • YOBO complies with applicable laws and cooperates with law enforcement consistent with legal standards and user privacy protections.

  • For confirmed CSAM, YOBO may preserve evidence and provide lawful disclosures to antitrafficking and law enforcement authorities.

  • YOBO maintains clear guidelines for lawful requests (e.g., requiring valid legal process for account data requests except where immediate disclosure is legally required to prevent imminent harm).

9. Child Safety Team & Training

  • YOBO maintains a dedicated Child Safety / Trust & Safety team responsible for CSAE response and policy enforcement.

  • All moderators and relevant staff receive regular training on CSAE detection, trauma-informed handling, privacy, and legal obligations.

  • Staff have clear protocols on escalation, documentation, and cross-border issues.

10. Victim Support & Resources

  • When encountering victims or survivors, YOBO provides helpful, trauma-informed resources and referrals to local/national hotlines and NGOs.

  • Provide in-app guidance for users who are minors or guardians on how to get help, preserve evidence safely, and report abuse.

11. Data Retention, Logging & Evidence Preservation

  • Maintain secure logs and preserve evidence necessary for lawful investigations for a limited, documented retention period.

  • Limit access to sensitive data on a need-to-know basis and ensure logs are encrypted at rest.

12. Transparency & Reporting

  • YOBO will publish an annual Safety & Transparency Report summarizing: numbers of CSAE reports, takedowns, accounts actioned, law enforcement requests, and improvements made — while protecting victim privacy.

  • The report will be published publicly and include aggregate metrics and policy changes.

13. Third Parties & Integrations

  • YOBO requires partners and integrations to meet equivalent child safety standards in contracts and audits.

  • We prohibit integrating third-party services that facilitate CSAE or fail to meet basic safety controls.

14. User Education & Prevention

  • Provide in-app safety tips, age-appropriate guidance for minors, and resources for guardians on spotting grooming and preventing exploitation.

  • Run periodic campaigns and notifications raising awareness about CSAE risks and reporting.

15. Policy Review & Updates

  • These standards are reviewed at least annually or sooner when laws, best practices, or platform features change.

  • Major changes are published with clear change-logs in the Transparency Report.

16. Contact & Reporting Channels (examples)

  • In-app “Report” flow: [App → Profile → … → Report] (prominently visible).

  • Email (safety team): yoboapp.online@gmail.com

  • Law enforcement cooperation contact: yoboapp.online@gmail.com

  • Emergency: If a child is in immediate danger, we advise contacting local emergency services first. YOBO will cooperate with authorities.

17. Responsibility Statement

YOBO takes the safety of children seriously. We commit to rapid detection and removal of CSAE, supporting victims, cooperating with enforcement, and continuously improving our systems to keep young people safe.
