MixCall- Child safety standards
Ensuring User Safety and Upholding Community Standards
At MixCall, we prioritize the safety and well-being of our users by implementing comprehensive measures to maintain a secure and respectful environment. Our commitment to user safety is reflected in our stringent policies and proactive features designed to protect against inappropriate content and interactions. We are dedicated to maintaining a safe and respectful environment for all users. A critical aspect of this commitment is our unwavering stance against Child Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (CSEA). Our application is exclusively designed for adults aged 18 and above; underage individuals are strictly prohibited from using our platform.
Understanding Child Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (CSEA)
CSEA encompasses various forms of sexual offenses against minors, including:
Sexual Assault: Engaging in sexual activities with a minor, such as rape or sexual penetration, for the purpose of sexual gratification.
Sexual Exploitation: Victimizing a minor for advancement, sexual gratification, or profit, including activities like child prostitution, live streaming sexual abuse, and creating or trafficking in child pornography.
Sexual Grooming: The process by which a potential offender seeks to make a minor more accepting of their advances, often occurring in online environments.
Sextortion: Threatening or blackmailing children, typically by threatening to share sexual images of them, to coerce additional sexual content, sexual activity, or money.
MixCall's Commitment to Preventing CSEA
To uphold our commitment to user safety and prevent CSEA, MixCall has implemented the following measures:
Age Verification and User Consent
To ensure that our platform is used responsibly, we require all users to affirm their age and acknowledge our content policies before creating an account. During the registration process, users must check the following boxes:
"I confirm that I'm 18 years old or above"
"I understand that sharing of inappropriate content will not be tolerated"
By agreeing to these terms, users commit to adhering to our guidelines and help us maintain a safe community.
Transparency Through Privacy Policy and Terms of Use
Data Collection and Consent: We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13 without verifiable parental consent. If such data is inadvertently collected, we commit to its prompt deletion.
Parental Rights: Parents or guardians have the right to review, manage, and request deletion of any information provided by their child.
Revoking Consent and Reporting Issues: Parents or guardians can revoke consent at any time and request the deletion of data. Clear instructions are provided for reporting any issues related to the protection of minors' data.
We have established an in-app reporting system that allows users to promptly report any content or behavior that violates our standards, including Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM). This mechanism empowers our community to actively participate in safeguarding the platform by bringing such issues to our immediate attention.
Compliance with Regulatory Standards
Our policies are designed in alignment with global regulatory standards to ensure the highest level of user protection. For instance, the UK's Age Appropriate Design Code, also known as the Children's Code, mandates that online services likely to be accessed by children prioritize their best interests, including their health, safety, and privacy. While MixCall is intended exclusively for users aged 18 and above, we recognize the importance of these standards and strive to uphold similar principles within our platform.
Designated Point of Contact for Child Safety Standards
We take our responsibility toward child safety very seriously. For any inquiries or reports related to our child safety standards policy, please contact us at v4andro@gmail.com. This dedicated point of contact ensures that concerns are addressed promptly and effectively.
Community Guidelines: We enforce strict policies against harassment, illegal activities, and inappropriate content. Users are prohibited from:
Displaying themselves in video while naked or wearing only underwear.
Showing their naked torso without also displaying their face.
Displaying or flashing their genitals or other intimate parts of their body.
Touching their genitals in a sexual manner, even through clothes.
Using words or phrases that may have obscene, vulgar, or sexual context.
Making gestures or taking any actions that might be considered obscene.
Collective Responsibility
Preventing CSEA is a collective effort. We encourage our users to:
Stay Informed: Understand the signs of grooming and exploitation to recognize and avoid potential threats.
Report Suspicious Activity: Utilize our in-app reporting features to alert us of any inappropriate behavior or content.
Engage in Open Dialogue: Discuss online safety practices with peers and family members to promote a culture of awareness and vigilance.
By adhering to these guidelines and working together, we can ensure that MixCall remains a safe and enjoyable platform for all users.
