CHILD SAFETY & CSAM POLICY
We maintain a ZERO-TOLERANCE policy for child sexual abuse material (CSAM), sexual exploitation of minors, or any content that puts children at risk. This policy outlines our strict enforcement, detection practices, reporting process, and unwavering commitment to child safety.
Overview
12 Testers – Testers Community is committed to maintaining a safe environment for everyone, and we have a zero-tolerance policy for child sexual abuse material (CSAM), sexual exploitation of minors, or any content that puts children at risk. This page explains our policy, detection and moderation practices, reporting process, and the steps we take when we receive reports.
Zero Tolerance
CSAM, sexual exploitation, or grooming content is strictly prohibited with immediate permanent bans.
Reporting
Easy-report process and rapid response to lawful reports within 24 hours.
Support
We cooperate with law enforcement and child-protection agencies when required.
Prevention
Safe-by-design rules for uploads, messaging and content sharing with automated scanning.
Our Policy Statement
We do not allow any content that sexualizes children, depicts minors in sexual contexts, or facilitates exploitation. This includes images, video, audio, text, links, or any media that depicts sexual conduct involving persons under 18, or content that meaningfully facilitates access to such material. Any user, developer or third party found to be sharing or seeking CSAM will be banned and reported to appropriate authorities where required by law.
Zero Tolerance Enforcement
Violation of this policy results in immediate account termination, removal of all content, and reporting to law enforcement agencies. There are no warnings for CSAM-related violations.
Legal Compliance
We comply with all applicable laws including but not limited to the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, 2012, and similar legislation worldwide.
Key Definitions
Child / Minor
Any person under 18 years of age (definition may vary by local law; we default to this standard).
CSAM
Child Sexual Abuse Material — any visual depiction of sexually explicit conduct involving minors.
Grooming
Behavior intended to build trust with a minor for sexual exploitation, including online interactions.
Sexual Content Involving Minors
Any explicit or suggestive depiction, text or link referencing sexual activity with minors.
Prohibited Content & Actions
Users and developers must not upload, post, share, embed, link to, or request any of the following:
Upload & Listing Safety Rules
Because Testers Community allows developers to upload icons, screenshots and links, we enforce the following strict rules:
Detection & Moderation
We combine automated detection and human review to identify and quickly remove harmful content:
Automatic scanning
Uploaded images and videos are scanned against known illegal image hashes and heuristics using industry-standard tools.
Human review
Trained moderators review flagged content to avoid false positives and evaluate context.
Rate-limiting & flags
Repeated suspicious activity results in rate-limiting and temporary suspension pending review.
Account checks
Accounts engaging in prohibited activity are suspended or disabled and relevant content removed.
How to Report Suspected CSAM or Child Exploitation
If you see content or behavior that you believe depicts or facilitates sexual exploitation of minors, please report immediately. We take all reports seriously and will act to remove illegal material and to notify law enforcement where required.
Report immediately
We review urgent reports 24/7 and prioritize potential CSAM. Emergency? Contact local authorities first.
Reporting Options
In-app report
Use the report button available on each app listing or user profile. Select "Safety / Child Exploitation" when prompted.
Send details to nadeemgamer180@gmail.com. Include the URL, username, timestamps, and any supporting screenshots (do NOT attach illegal images; describe them — see below).
Emergency / Law enforcement
If someone is in immediate danger, contact local emergency services first, then notify us.
Important Safety Notice
Do NOT share or forward suspected illegal images or videos. Instead, provide descriptions, timestamps, and links. If you must submit a file for review, contact us first and we will provide secure instructions. We will never ask you to distribute illegal imagery.
What We Do After a Report
When a valid report is received we follow a standard escalation procedure:
Immediate Removal
Immediate removal or disabling of content that appears to violate this policy.
Account Suspension
Temporary suspension of accounts pending investigation.
Evidence Preservation
Preservation of forensic logs and metadata for lawful requests.
Law Enforcement Notification
Notification to appropriate law enforcement or child-protection agencies where required by law or where serious risk is identified.
Permanent Bans
Permanent bans for accounts found to be distributing or intentionally facilitating CSAM or exploitation. No warnings or second chances.
Cooperation with Authorities
We comply with applicable laws and cooperate with lawful requests from law enforcement and child-protection agencies. We maintain processes to respond to legal orders for user data and to preserve evidence when requested.
Legal Compliance
Where we are legally obliged to report or where safety concerns demand it, we will share relevant information (account metadata, IP addresses, timestamps) with authorities. We will comply with court orders and legal process.
