AVENIQUE CHILD SAFETY & CSAM ENFORCEMENT POLICY

Last Updated: September 21, 2026

Applies to: the Avenique mobile application, website, and related services (the "Service")

Avenique is an adults-only platform. You must be 18 or older to create an account or use the Service. Protecting children from exploitation, exposure, and contact on our Service is a non-negotiable priority.

This Policy explains what is prohibited, how to report a concern, and that we take enforcement action and comply with applicable child-protection laws. It works together with our Safety Rules (Section 4: Child Safety) and Community Guidelines.

1. ZERO-TOLERANCE RULE

The following are banned without exception:

Minors on the platform: Accounts for anyone under 18, and any attempt to help a minor use the Service.

Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM): Any content that sexualizes, exploits, or endangers a minor, including synthetic or AI-generated depictions.

Grooming and solicitation of minors: Any attempt to contact, meet, sexualize, or pursue a romantic or sexual relationship with a minor, on or off the platform, when connected to Avenique use.

Sextortion and exploitation: Threatening to share, or sharing, intimate imagery of any person who is or appears to be a minor, or coercing anyone in connection with such imagery.

Photos containing minors: Profile photos that include children, even family members. Crop them out or choose a different photo.

Violations may result in account restriction or permanent ban, evidence preservation, and referral to authorities where required or appropriate.

2. HOW TO REPORT

In the App (preferred): Use the in-App report flow and describe the child-safety or underage concern.

By web form: Use the contact form at the bottom of this page (choose Safety or child-safety report).

Do not message the suspected account about your report, and do not forward, re-upload, or circulate suspected CSAM.

If you are a parent, guardian, or educator and believe a minor is attempting to use Avenique, use the same contact form. We will review and take action.

3. HOW WE RESPOND

We use a mix of product controls, automated screening, and human review to help keep minors off the Service and to act on prohibited content. We do not publish the details of those controls.

When we receive a report or otherwise identify a child-safety concern, we may restrict the account or content while we review, remove violating material, and take further enforcement action as appropriate. Child-safety matters are treated as a priority.

Automated screening reduces risk. It does not guarantee that every prohibited item is detected before someone reports it. Users remain responsible for reporting suspected violations promptly.

BafaTech may restrict or permanently terminate an account based on automated signals, human review, or both. Internal operating procedures do not create a contractual duty to complete any particular review step before we act to protect the Service. This does not limit the appeal rights in Section 6 of the Community Guidelines or any right you have under mandatory applicable law.

4. ENFORCEMENT

Depending on the circumstances, we may:

Remove content or hide an account from discovery.
Suspend or permanently ban the account.
Retain limited identity-linked ban signals, as described in our Privacy Policy and Biometric Information Policy, to prevent circumvention.
Preserve relevant records and refer the matter to appropriate child-protection or law-enforcement authorities.

Appeals for ordinary moderation decisions are described in our Community Guidelines. Actions taken under an active legal hold are not eligible for standard appeal while the hold remains active.

5. EVIDENCE PRESERVATION AND LEGAL HOLDS

Where a child-safety investigation or legal hold applies, we preserve relevant records for as long as required by law or an open legal process, including at least one (1) year, independent of an ordinary deletion request. Account deletion and "right to be forgotten" requests do not override these obligations. See our Privacy Policy for related exceptions.

6. MANDATORY REPORTING AND LAW ENFORCEMENT

Where required by applicable law, we report apparent child sexual exploitation to the appropriate authorities, which may include the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) CyberTipline, NAPTIP for Nigeria-based matters, or other competent agencies.

We respond to lawful process as described in our Privacy Policy. We do not notify the subject of an active child-safety investigation when doing so would interfere with law enforcement or endanger a child.

7. FALSE REPORTS

Good-faith child-safety reports are encouraged and treated confidentially. Knowingly false reports intended to harass another user may violate the Community Guidelines and can result in enforcement action.

8. CONTACT

Use the contact form at the bottom of this page:

Child safety reports: choose Safety or child-safety report
Appeals (non-legal-hold): choose Appeals
Privacy / data rights: choose Privacy inquiry or Data rights or deletion request

Website legal pages are published at avenique.app.

9. CHANGES

We may update this Policy to reflect legal requirements or product changes. Material updates will be versioned and announced before taking effect. Continued use of the Service after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised Policy where permitted by law.

If this Policy conflicts with applicable law, the law controls to the extent of the conflict.
