Child Safety Standards

1. Scope and Application

These Child Safety Standards apply to all users of the TalkVerse mobile application ("TalkVerse," "the App," "we," "our," or "us"), our website, and any related services operated by TalkVerse. These standards are publicly accessible and enforceable against every user, developer, partner, and third-party service integrated with TalkVerse.

2. Zero-Tolerance Policy Against CSAE

TalkVerse explicitly prohibits all forms of Child Sexual Abuse and Exploitation (CSAE), including but not limited to:

• Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM): Any content — text, image, audio, or video — that sexually depicts, exploits, or abuses a minor (anyone under 18 years of age).
• Grooming: Any attempt to build a relationship of trust with a minor for the purpose of sexual exploitation or abuse.
• Solicitation: Requesting, producing, or distributing sexual content involving minors in any format.
• Sexual Exploitation: Leveraging influence, technology, or the App to coerce, manipulate, or exploit minors for sexual purposes.
• Trafficking: Any activity that facilitates the trafficking of minors for sexual or exploitative purposes.
• Harmful AI Interactions Involving Minors: Attempting to generate, simulate, or roleplay sexual or exploitative scenarios involving individuals under 18 through our AI characters.

Violations of this policy will result in immediate and permanent account termination, and may be reported to appropriate law enforcement authorities and child protection agencies.

3. Age Restriction and Verification

TalkVerse is strictly an 18+ platform. We enforce this through:

• Mandatory age verification during onboarding — users must provide their date of birth and must be 18 years or older to create an account.
• Immediate account deletion if we discover a user is under 18 — all associated data is permanently removed.
• No registration path for minors — the App will not allow users under 18 to proceed past the age verification step.

4. Content Moderation and AI Safeguards

All AI characters and content generation systems within TalkVerse are designed with child safety as a foundational principle:

• All AI characters are explicitly depicted as adults and have defined adult personas. No AI character is presented as, or designed to appear as, a minor.
• TalkVerse uses safety controls designed to prevent the generation of sexual or exploitative content involving minors.
• TalkVerse continuously works to improve its safety systems and address potential misuse.

5. User Responsibilities

All TalkVerse users agree, as a condition of using the App, that they will not:

• Share, upload, request, or solicit any content that sexually depicts or exploits minors.
• Attempt to use AI characters to simulate, roleplay, or generate scenarios involving the sexual abuse or exploitation of minors.
• Share access to the App with anyone under 18 years of age.
• Attempt to circumvent age verification or safety systems.
• Use the App to contact, solicit, or exploit minors on or off the platform.

Users who violate these standards will have their accounts permanently terminated and may be referred to law enforcement.

6. Reporting CSAE Concerns

If you encounter any content or behavior on TalkVerse that you believe constitutes child sexual abuse or exploitation, report it immediately:

All reports are treated with strict confidentiality. We take every report seriously and investigate promptly. Where required by applicable law, TalkVerse will report confirmed CSAM to the appropriate authorities or relevant reporting channels, including the NCMEC CyberTipline where applicable.

• Respond promptly to lawful requests from law enforcement for user data related to CSAE investigations.
• Where required by applicable law, TalkVerse will report confirmed CSAM to the appropriate authorities or relevant reporting channels, including the NCMEC CyberTipline where applicable.
• Cooperate with Indian authorities under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, 2012, and the Information Technology Act, 2000.
• Maintain records of CSAE-related reports and enforcement actions as required by applicable regulations.

9. Privacy of Minors

TalkVerse does not knowingly collect, store, or process any personal data from individuals under the age of 18. In the event that we identify a user account belonging to a minor:

• The account is immediately and permanently deleted.
• All associated personal data and conversation history is purged from our systems.
• The incident is logged and reviewed to improve our age verification processes.

Parents or guardians who believe their child has created a TalkVerse account should contact us immediately at ch vishal.kumar190601@gmail.com for immediate account removal.
