Compliance

Child Safety Standards

Our published standards against Child Sexual Abuse and Exploitation (CSAE) and Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM). This page meets the publication requirements of Google Play's Child Safety Standards policy for apps in the Social and Dating categories.

Zero tolerance for Child Sexual Abuse and Exploitation

CampSpark strictly prohibits any content, conduct, communication or user activity that constitutes Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM), the grooming or exploitation of minors, or any other form of Child Sexual Abuse and Exploitation (CSAE). Any account found engaging in such activity is permanently terminated and referred to the appropriate law-enforcement authorities. CampSpark is an adult-only service. Users under the age of 18 are not permitted on the platform.

How we prevent CSAE on CampSpark

We implement the following standards as required by Google Play's Child Safety Standards policy. Each measure is live in the current release of the app.

  • Adults only (18+)

    CampSpark is restricted to users aged 18 and older. Every new user must affirmatively confirm they are 18 or older and accept our Terms of Service before they can create an account. Any account suspected of belonging to a minor is suspended pending verification.

  • Anonymous identity by default

    Users select a bundled avatar at signup. We do not require, request, or store any personally identifying photos of users at any point. Custom photo uploads are not enabled in the current release. This eliminates one of the most common vectors for CSAM at the source.

  • Content filter on all user-generated text

    A server-side and client-side content filter rejects nicknames, bios, chat messages, and other text containing slurs, sexual-harassment phrases, threats, or terms specifically targeting minors. The filter is conservative by design and applied at the submission boundary, before any text reaches another user.

  • In-app reporting on every user surface

    Every user-facing element — discovery bubble, ping card, chat header, profile — exposes a Report button. Reports can be filed with one of six categories, including 'Underage user' and 'Inappropriate photo'. Filing a report immediately blocks the reported user from sending any further pings or messages to the reporter.

  • 24-hour moderation review

    Every report fires an immediate alert to our moderation queue via AWS SNS. A human reviewer triages the report within 24 hours. Accounts found in violation are permanently deleted and their associated content is purged from our backend within the same window.

  • Cooperation with authorities

    We cooperate fully with law-enforcement requests. CSAM-related reports are escalated to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) and to the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal of India (cybercrime.gov.in). We retain forensic data necessary for investigation in compliance with the Information Technology Act, 2000 and the POCSO Act, 2012.

How users report a child safety concern

  1. 1

    Tap the report icon on any user surface (discovery bubble, ping card, chat conversation header, or profile).

  2. 2

    Select one of six reasons. Choose 'Underage user' if you suspect a minor is using the platform, or 'Inappropriate photo' if you suspect CSAM.

  3. 3

    Submit. The reported user is immediately blocked from interacting with you in any way.

  4. 4

    Our moderation team reviews the report within 24 hours. If a violation is confirmed, the account is permanently deleted.

  5. 5

    CSAM-related findings are escalated to NCMEC (cybertipline.org) and to the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal of India (cybercrime.gov.in).

Legal and regulatory compliance

CampSpark complies with the following statutes and reporting obligations:

  • Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act, 2012 (POCSO Act)— India's primary statute against child sexual offences. We assist investigating authorities with retained forensic data as required.
  • Information Technology Act, 2000 and IT Rules, 2021 — including the obligation to remove CSAM within 24 hours of becoming aware of it.
  • Google Play Child Safety Standards policy — including the prohibition on apps that knowingly facilitate CSAE.
  • NCMEC reporting (where applicable) — we file CyberTipline reports with the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children for any CSAM identified by our moderation team.
