CityDate Child Safety Standards

Child safety can be handled as a three-stage cycle: set the rules, describe how those rules are actually enforced, and state plainly what breaking them costs. M-1 sets out policy, fixing the position and the list of prohibited conduct; M-2 addresses enforcement, covering how age is checked, how content is screened and how reports are received; M-3 addresses consequences, setting out the measures taken, the records retained and the information erased. There is no fourth stage, because a standard that stops at declaration is merely paper. CityDate is published by Filandou, and the legal entity is KENNETH RYAN-CODY OVERSTREET.

M-1　Policy: position and prohibited conduct

(M-1.1) Age threshold: CityDate is a platform where adults meet and talk, open only to users aged 18 and over. Accessing the application, creating an account, or using nearby recommendations, post publishing, instant messaging and gift sending within it are all expressly prohibited for minors.

(M-1.2) Zero tolerance: CityDate applies a zero-tolerance policy to child sexual abuse and exploitation (CSAE). That position admits no exception and is not waived because conduct occurs in a private chat, in voice, in a small-group share, or in any other non-public setting.

(M-1.3) List of prohibited conduct. No user may:

• produce, upload, disseminate or store any material involving child sexual abuse or exploitation;
• post recruitment material aimed at minors under guises such as "child model casting", "talent scouting" or "part-time voice work";
• groom a minor into misplaced trust, or trade red packets, gifts or game credits for their photographs or videos;
• induce a minor in private chat to turn on a camera, send intimate images, or appear on live video;
• upload intimate imagery involving a minor, even where consent is claimed to have been given;
• deliberately use infantile imagery or hint at a minor identity in a profile or post to attract a particular audience;
• ask a minor for their home address, school, pick-up route or off-platform contact details;
• set up group chats or voice rooms with minors as members, without the knowledge of their parents or guardians;
• circulate stickers, comics, written scenarios or audio-visual clips containing sexual innuendo about minors;
• re-save, distribute or solicit the above material, or provide hosting, redirection or indexing for it.

(M-1.4) None of these prohibitions is relaxed according to where an account was registered or which language it uses. Obligations set by applicable law, and every Google Play requirement concerning child safety, are observed in full.

M-2　Enforcement: age verification, content screening and report handling

(M-2.1) Age verification mechanism. Verification is not a one-off step; abnormal signals during the life of an account send it through the same process again:

• date of birth is mandatory at registration, and any stated age below 18 is turned back by the check;
• age checks sit at three entry points — registration, password recovery and profile editing — and their strength is retested with every release;
• accounts whose profile and behaviour contradict each other (an adult, say, who spends all day in student communities) enter a manual review queue automatically;
• device-side signals feed the assessment: the number of accounts linked to one handset in a short window, abnormal combinations of IP address and install channel, sensor availability and emulator fingerprints;
• once an account is confirmed to be held by a minor, access is restricted and the account closed, and the same identity details are not accepted for fresh registration.

(M-2.2) Content screening. Avatars, album photographs and posts pass first through machine-learning classification and then through human review. Sensitive terms, recruitment phrasing and requests for contact details are matched across private messages in both directions. Suspect content is restricted from display before verification, so that it does not continue to spread while the review runs.

(M-2.3) Reporting channels (two, of equal standing). Where an account appears to be held by a minor, where content harms a child, or where harassment or grooming of a minor is suspected, submit a report through either route:

• In-app reporting: tap "Report" on the profile page or in the chat window, choose the category "Concerning a minor / child safety", and attach screenshots or a written account as prompted. Anonymous reports are accepted;
• Email reporting: write to service@citydate-chat.com, stating as far as possible the account involved, when it happened, the form the content took, and any screenshots.

Initial review begins within 24 hours of a report arriving. Reports from parents, guardians or regulators are verified and handled on a priority basis. Where a report points to a danger unfolding in the physical world, we cooperate with the authorities as the law requires and also suggest that the reporter contact local police or a child protection agency.

(M-2.4) Capability safeguards. To strengthen detection and handling, the application uses third-party SDKs / services, such as AWS S3 (encrypted retention of evidence pending verification) and Firebase Analytics (aggregated analysis of abnormal account patterns). Every partner is bound by applicable data protection requirements and processes data only as far as the service requires. Staff in content review and customer support receive dedicated child safety training every six months, covering identification of grooming language, evidential requirements and handling procedure.

M-3　Consequences: measures, retained records and information erasure

(M-3.1) Governing principle. Any account or content that breaches these Standards is dealt with immediately upon confirmation. The weight of the measure matches the weight of the conduct, and the measures below may be applied singly or in combination.

(M-3.2) Penalties:

• deletion of the content: the material is taken down and purged from our systems, and the route for uploading it again is closed;
• restriction or banning of the account: functions are narrowed, sign-in suspended in serious cases, and in the gravest cases the account is permanently banned with service eligibility terminated, while the registration email and device used are placed on a watch list;
• retention of records: the handling process and necessary evidence are filed and kept for later review, appeal and investigation;
• cooperation with law enforcement: where an offence is suspected, necessary information is transferred to the competent authorities or child protection agencies as the law provides, and subsequent investigation is supported.

(M-3.3) Appeal and review. A user subject to a measure may appeal through the email address above. Review proceeds from the original report and the handling record, and the outcome is communicated in writing within a reasonable period; where confidentiality obligations or an active investigation prevent disclosure of detail, the reason is explained.

(M-3.4) Erasure of minors' information. Minors remain outside this platform by design, which is why children's personal information lies beyond anything we collect. If such information nonetheless enters our systems through a misstated age, fraudulent registration or another unforeseen circumstance: it is deleted as soon as confirmed, and the account concerned is restricted from further use of the application. The same risk is then swept for elsewhere — whether one device or one channel has been used to bypass verification at scale — and verification is tightened where needed, with the change locked into the next release.

(M-3.5) Contact details. Questions, comments or complaints about these Standards, our child protection measures or the outcome of a specific case may be sent through the channels below:
