Child Safety Standards & CSAE Prevention Policy

1. Application & Developer Identification

This Child Safety Standards and Community Policy document applies directly to the following application and services published on Google Play and associated digital platforms:

We are dedicated to safeguarding children and maintaining a clean, trustworthy digital space that strictly adheres to the Google Play Child Safety Standards, the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), and international child protection legislation.

2. Explicit Prohibition of CSAE and CSAM

CoreNine strictly and explicitly bans:

• Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM): Any visual, audio, textual, or computer-generated depiction (including AI-generated, photorealistic, animated, or cartoon imagery) representing sexual abuse, sexual acts, or sexually explicit nudity involving minors under the age of 18.
• Child Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (CSAE): Any solicitation, coercion, extortion (including sextortion), trafficking, sexualized grooming, or exploitation of any child or minor.
• Sexualization of Minors: Sharing, storing, transmitting, or requesting any content, images, messages, or references that depict, encourage, facilitate, or normalize the sexual exploitation or harassment of minors.
• Endangerment of Minors: Any attempt to establish inappropriate contact with, obtain personal details from, or arrange offline or online meetings with children or minors for abusive purposes.

We maintain an absolute zero-tolerance posture. There are no warnings, strikes, or second chances for any violation involving child exploitation or abuse.

3. Age Requirement: Strictly 18+ Only

CoreNine is an adult-only platform designed exclusively for users aged 18 and older.

• Users must be at least 18 years of age to register an account, utilize the AI profiling advisor, interact in matches, or attend events.
• Anyone under 18 years of age is strictly prohibited from creating an account or accessing CoreNine.
• If we discover, suspect, or are notified that an account belongs to or is operated by an individual under the age of 18, the account is immediately deactivated and all related data is purged in accordance with our data safety protocols.

4. Designated Child Safety Contact Point

CoreNine has established a dedicated, monitored, and expedited contact point specifically for child safety inquiries, reports, and law enforcement requests:

Parents, guardians, educators, community members, and law enforcement agencies may contact our Child Safety team at any time with relevant details, user IDs, or evidence for rapid intervention.

5. Detection, Moderation & Enforcement Mechanisms

To ensure that CoreNine remains free of CSAE/CSAM and abusive behavior, we implement multiple layers of technical and operational safeguards:

• Automated Text & Content Screening: Inbound profiling messages and profile bios are scanned against safety rules and prohibited keyword patterns designed to catch predatory language, solicitation, and abusive behavior.
• Zero-Retention Policy for Abusive Content: Upon detection or report of suspected CSAE, content is immediately removed from public display and quarantined in a secure vault solely for evidence preservation.
• Immediate Account Banning: Perpetrators are immediately and permanently barred from CoreNine across all linked credentials, IP addresses, and device identifiers.
• Mandatory Reporting to NCMEC and Law Enforcement: In accordance with federal and international standards, all confirmed or suspected instances of CSAM/CSAE are reported directly to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) via CyberTipline and referred to relevant law enforcement agencies globally.

6. In-App User Reporting and Safety Features

CoreNine empowers its users with robust, built-in safety controls within the mobile application:

• Report User: Every user profile and direct message thread includes a clear "Report" action allowing users to flag inappropriate behavior, harassment, or suspected violations of our Child Safety Standards.
• Block User: Users can instantly block any individual with a single tap. Blocked users can no longer view profiles, send connection requests, or initiate messages.
• Dedicated Email Reporting: Users may also forward screenshots or report incidents directly to [email protected] for immediate investigation.

7. Cooperation with Authorities & Global Compliance

CoreNine maintains full transparency and actively cooperates with law enforcement agencies and specialized child protection non-governmental organizations:

• We promptly comply with lawful preservation requests, court orders, and subpoenas related to child protection investigations.
• We preserve digital forensic logs, message metadata, and registration IP information required by law enforcement for criminal prosecution of offenders.
• We continually review and update our safeguards in alignment with evolving Google Play Developer Program policies, EU Digital Services Act (DSA) mandates, and global internet safety standards.
