Child Safety Standards

Our standards

• Vinea does not allow any content or behaviour that sexualises, grooms, exploits or endangers children, including child sexual abuse material (CSAM). There are no exceptions.
• The community features are for adults aged 18 and over. Accounts must confirm their date of birth before they can create a community profile, and there are no youth groups.
• The app has no private messaging between users. Community content is visible to the audience its author chooses, and every post can be reported.

Reporting a concern

Inside the app, open the ⋯ menu on any post, choose Report and select Safeguarding concern. Outside the app, or to report a profile, group or anything else, email claudeappiahsasraku@gmail.com. Safeguarding reports are reviewed before all others.

If a child is in immediate danger, contact your local emergency services first.

How we respond

• Content that may involve the abuse or exploitation of a child is removed as soon as we are aware of it.
• Accounts responsible are removed permanently, and their handles are never released to anyone else.
• We report apparent child sexual abuse material to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) and to the relevant law enforcement authorities, and preserve what the law requires us to preserve for them.
• We cooperate with law enforcement investigations as the law allows.

Compliance

Vinea complies with applicable child safety laws and regulations, including the obligation to report CSAM to the appropriate authorities. These standards form part of our Terms of Use and Community Guidelines.
