Freeflow CSAE Policy Statement
As developers of Freeflow, we are committed to maintaining a safe, secure, and respectful environment for all users, particularly minors. We adhere to a strict zero-tolerance policy regarding any form of Child Sexual Abuse and Exploitation (CSAE) content, and we are fully committed to preventing such material from appearing within our app.
1. Prohibited Content
We explicitly prohibit the following types of content and behavior in Freeflow:
- Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM): Any content that depicts or promotes the sexual abuse, exploitation, or mistreatment of minors is strictly forbidden.
- Inappropriate Content in Child-Specific Features: If our app is intended for children or families, it will not include or promote sexual, explicit, or otherwise inappropriate content.
- Grooming or Predatory Behavior: Any behavior, interactions, or communication within the app that facilitates grooming, manipulation, or exploitation of minors is explicitly banned. This includes the use of chat functions, messaging tools, or social features to target or exploit children.
- User-Generated Content (UGC): We do not permit user-generated content that violates the above policies. All user-uploaded material is subject to review and moderation to prevent CSAE content.
2. App Moderation and Monitoring
To ensure compliance with our zero-tolerance stance on CSAE, we employ the following measures:
- Content Review: We continuously monitor and review all content uploaded by users, including images, videos, text, and other forms of communication, to ensure they comply with this policy.
- Automated Filters and Reporting Tools: We implement automated content filtering tools and provide users with easy-to-use reporting mechanisms to flag inappropriate or suspicious content. Reports will be reviewed promptly by our team.
- Human Moderation: In addition to automated filters, our team of trained moderators reviews flagged content to ensure that any CSAE-related material is identified and removed immediately.
- Account Suspension: Users found to be in violation of this policy will have their accounts suspended or terminated, and any offending content will be permanently removed from the app.

- Other Regional Child Protection Laws: We remain compliant with local and international regulations related to the protection of children from exploitation and abuse.
4. Parental and User Protection
