Child Protection Policy

Gabby is dedicated to providing a safe and respectful environment for all users, especially minors. We maintain a zero-tolerance stance toward any form of child sexual abuse, exploitation, or endangerment. Any individual, content, or activity violating this standard will be permanently removed and, when necessary, reported to the appropriate authorities.

1. Eligibility and Age Verification

• Gabby is intended strictly for users aged 18 years and above.
• Submitting false age information or impersonating an adult to access the platform is strictly forbidden and may lead to account suspension or termination.
• Automated systems and manual checks help identify underage use or potential Child Sexual Abuse and Exploitation (CSAE) risks. Attempts to bypass these systems constitute a severe policy breach.

2. Prohibited Content and Conduct

2.1 Child Sexual Abuse and Exploitation (CSAE)

CSAE refers to any act or material that sexually exploits, abuses, or endangers a child. The following are strictly prohibited on Gabby:

• Sharing, requesting, or producing materials involving sexual acts with minors.
• Participating in conversations or "role-plays" that sexualize children, even without explicit images.
• Using gestures, emojis, filters, or costumes that depict minors in a sexual or suggestive way.
• Attempting to approach, groom, or solicit minors through the app.

Such content or behavior may result in immediate removal and referral to law enforcement.

2.2 Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM)

CSAM includes any visual, written, or AI-generated depiction of minors in sexual contexts, whether real or synthetic. The following are forbidden:

• Uploading or distributing CSAM of any kind.
• Sharing AI-generated or "deepfake" content that sexualizes minors.
• Linking to external sources that host or promote CSAM.

All confirmed CSAM will be deleted immediately, and corresponding cases may be escalated to police.

3. Identification and Monitoring

Gabby employs a practical approach to safeguard child safety:

3.1 Automated Screening

• Scanning of images and videos to detect nudity or sexual activity involving minors.
• Keyword filters in messages, profiles, and captions to identify inappropriate language.
• Behavior-based alerts for irregular activity or messages linked to past safety violations.
• Accounts associated with confirmed child-safety breaches receive enhanced monitoring.

3.2 Human Review

• Manual checks of flagged content and random audits of public materials.
• Secondary review when automated systems identify irregular activity.
• Immediate removal of verified violations, with escalation to authorities when appropriate.

3.3 User Reporting

Users play a vital role. Anyone who suspects CSAE, CSAM, or other child-endangering activity may report it through in-app reporting tools or by contacting our support (e.g., via the contact channel in the app or website). Reports are reviewed promptly and handled confidentially.

4. Platform Safety Features

To strengthen vigilance, Gabby provides:

• A dedicated CSAE reporting category in the report flow.
• Safety shortcuts in settings (e.g., "Report CSAE" or similar) so users can submit reports at any time.

5. Reporting Procedure

In the app: use the Report button (e.g., in settings or on the relevant content), select the CSAE/child safety category, and attach screenshots or evidence if possible. You may also contact our support team directly via the contact method provided in the app or on our website.

External reporting: If you encounter content that sexually abuses or exploits children, you may also report to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) or to a hotline in your region (e.g., via INHOPE).

6. Awareness and Transparency

Gabby has implemented updates to improve awareness and reporting accessibility, including prioritizing the CSAE category in the report menu and providing direct settings shortcuts for reporting. We aim to empower users with easy, visible tools to protect minors online.

7. Prohibited Individuals

Anyone with a known conviction for crimes against children—including abuse, exploitation, or trafficking—is barred from accessing Gabby. Discovery of false declarations will result in permanent expulsion and potential law enforcement notification.

8. Enforcement and Education

Gabby takes swift action on any violation of this policy, which may include warnings, account bans, or referral to police. We are also committed to user education and preventive awareness through in-app reminders, pop-up warnings during content creation where relevant, and regular updates to our community guidelines to reflect evolving standards for online child protection.

Our Responsibility

Gabby is devoted to maintaining a secure, respectful digital community. We regularly refine our technology, moderation processes, and educational programs to meet high standards of child protection.
