Child Safety Standards & CSAE Prevention

Last Updated: February 5, 2026

1) Scope & Commitment

This Child Safety Standards document outlines our comprehensive approach to preventing, detecting, and responding to child sexual abuse and exploitation (CSAE) on the Wudtr platform. These standards apply to:

• All users of Wudtr services, including web and mobile applications
• All content shared, uploaded, or distributed through our platform
• All community interactions and communications
• All third-party integrations and connected services

2) Age Restrictions

Wudtr implements strict age verification and protection measures:

• Minimum Age: Our services are intended for users aged 16 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under 16.
• Age Verification: Users must provide accurate age information during registration. False representation of age is grounds for immediate account termination.
• Parental Consent: For users between 16-18 in jurisdictions requiring parental consent, we obtain and verify such consent before service activation.
• Automated Detection: We employ automated systems to detect and flag accounts that may belong to users under the minimum age.

3) Prohibited Content & Conduct

The following content and conduct related to minors is strictly prohibited on Wudtr:

• Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM): Any visual depiction, text, or other content depicting or describing sexual abuse of minors
• Sexualization of Minors: Content that sexualizes, exploits, or endangers minors in any way
• Grooming: Any attempt to build trust with a minor for the purpose of sexual abuse or exploitation
• Child Trafficking: Content or communications facilitating or promoting child trafficking
• Inappropriate Contact: Adults soliciting personal information from minors or attempting inappropriate contact
• Sextortion: Threatening to share intimate images or information involving minors
• Child Sexual Exploitation: Any content or conduct that exploits children for sexual purposes, including coercion or financial gain

4) Detection & Monitoring Systems

We employ multiple layers of protection to detect and prevent CSAE:

• Automated Content Scanning: AI-powered systems continuously scan uploaded images and videos against known CSAM databases
• Hash Matching: Integration with industry-standard hash databases (including NCMEC's hash list) to identify known CSAM
• Behavioral Analysis: Machine learning algorithms detect suspicious patterns of behavior indicative of grooming or exploitation
• Keyword Detection: Automated filtering of text content for language associated with CSAE
• User Reporting: Easy-to-access reporting tools allowing users to flag concerning content or behavior
• Human Review: Trained content moderation team reviews flagged content and suspicious accounts

5) Reporting Mechanisms & In-App User Feedback

The Wudtr app and platform provide multiple channels for reporting child safety concerns and submitting user feedback:

• In-App Reporting (User Feedback): Within the Wudtr mobile app and web application, users can report concerning content or behaviour directly through the in-app Help & Support section accessible from Settings. Users can also contact our safety team via the dedicated child safety email below. All reports are reviewed by our trust and safety team.
