FunTalker- Child safety standards

Child Safety Policy — FunTalker: Video Chat Random
🛡 Child Safety

Protecting
Children. Always.

Effective Date: May 2026  ·  Version 1.2.0
🚨
ZERO TOLERANCE
FunTalker has an absolute zero-tolerance policy for any content that exploits, harms, sexualises, or endangers minors in any form. Violations result in immediate permanent bans, mandatory referral to the NCMEC CyberTipline (missingkids.org/cybertipline), and cooperation with law enforcement.

Age Requirement & Signup Block

FunTalker is strictly an 18+ platform. During registration, every user must complete a birthdate verification using a scroll picker. The system calculates your age in real time. Users under 18 are immediately blocked — the Continue button is disabled and they cannot proceed under any circumstances.
Age Gate — How It Works
  • All new users must select their date of birth on a Month / Day / Year scroll picker
  • If the calculated age is under 18, the Continue button is hard-disabled — registration is impossible
  • This applies to all users — no exceptions, no override
  • The screen displays: "You need to be at least 18 years old to continue."
Known Limitation: Age is currently self-reported via birthdate selection. There is no third-party ID verification in the current version. Integration of official ID verification is part of our future development roadmap.

Google Play Age Signals API

FunTalker uses the Google Play Age Signals API as a device-level verification layer, supplementing our in-app birthdate gate with a platform-enforced signal.

How it works: At session initiation, FunTalker requests an age signal from the Google Play platform. If the signal indicates the device account is associated with a minor, access is denied before the app loads any user-facing content.
Age Signals — Key Facts
  • The Play Age Signal is evaluated once at session initiation — it is not continuously monitored
  • The signal value is never stored on FunTalker servers — it is used only for the access decision and discarded
  • The signal is never shared with third parties or advertisers
  • This creates a two-barrier system: Google Play device-level signal plus in-app birthdate gate — both must pass for access
  • Users without a Google account on device fall back to the birthdate gate only
Privacy Note: We receive only a binary pass/fail signal from Google Play. We do not receive the user's actual age, date of birth, or any Google account information. This is a one-way device check with no data retention.

Our Three-Layer Protection System

FunTalker implements three independent layers of child protection, each designed to catch what the others might miss.

Layer 1 ✓ Live
Automated On-Device Detection — Google ML Kit
Real-time sensitive content detection during video calls
  • Face Detection — Monitors whether a user's face remains visible throughout a video call. If a face disappears from frame, the system flags the session
  • Sensitive Content Detection — Automatically detects explicit or inappropriate content appearing during live video calls
  • Real-Time Blur — When sensitive content is detected, it is automatically blurred for the other user before they can view it
  • Default Protection: The "Blur sensitive content" setting is enabled by default for all users
  • All detection runs on-device — live video is not permanently stored on our servers
Layer 2 ✓ Live
Community Reporting — In-App Report System
Every user can report safety violations directly

Any user can report another user at any time using the in-app Report button. The following categories are available:

🚨 Underage 🚨 Child abuse Sexual content Fake info Faceless / black screen Harmful content
Child Safety Priority: Reports in the "Underage" and "Child abuse" categories are automatically flagged as HIGHEST PRIORITY and bypass the standard moderation queue for immediate review.
Layer 3 ✓ Live
Human Review — Admin Moderation Team
Every report reviewed by a real person
  • All user reports are received immediately by the FunTalker moderation team
  • Moderators can view the reported user's profile, content, and full violation history
  • Child safety reports trigger immediate human review — not queued with general reports
  • All enforcement actions are logged with timestamp and reason for accountability
Available Enforcement Actions
  • Content removal — remove specific video session or profile content
  • Account warning — formal notice sent to the user
  • Temporary suspension — restrict account access
  • Permanent ban — irreversible account termination
  • Escalation to law enforcement — for child safety and serious criminal concerns
4

Prohibited Content — Child Safety

The following are absolutely prohibited and result in immediate permanent ban and law enforcement referral with no exceptions:
  • Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) — sharing, distributing, or displaying any such content
  • Sexual solicitation of minors in any form, including through video, text, or profile content
  • Grooming behaviour — attempting to establish an inappropriate relationship with a minor
  • Any content that depicts, glorifies, or normalises harm to children
  • Using FunTalker to facilitate contact with minors for any inappropriate purpose
5

CSAM Reporting & NCMEC Referral Protocol

Mandatory Reporting Obligation: Under 18 U.S.C. § 2258A, we are legally required to report any apparent Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) CyberTipline at missingkids.org/cybertipline.
6-Step Child Safety Response Protocol
  • Step 1: Report received and immediately flagged as highest priority
  • Step 2: Moderator reviews immediately — session paused or account suspended pending investigation
  • Step 3: Content permanently removed from the platform
  • Step 4: Account permanently banned — cannot be reinstated
  • Step 5: Mandatory CyberTipline report submitted to NCMEC (National Center for Missing & Exploited Children) in accordance with 18 U.S.C. § 2258A
  • Step 6: Full cooperation with law enforcement investigation — records and account information provided as legally required
NCMEC CyberTipline: The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children operates the CyberTipline as the central reporting mechanism for CSAM in the United States. Reports submitted to the CyberTipline are reviewed by NCMEC analysts and forwarded to appropriate law enforcement agencies. We comply with all NCMEC reporting requirements without exception.

Legal Compliance

  • COPPA 2026 (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, updated Apr 22 2026) — we do not knowingly collect data from users under 13, and our 18+ age gate prevents minors from accessing the platform; biometric data is not collected; geolocation is country-level only; advertising identifiers (GAID) via CAS.ai are served to non-VIP users only
  • GDPR-K — compliant with EU child data protection requirements
  • Utah Minor Protection Act (effective May 7, 2026) — FunTalker complies with Utah's Minor Protection in App Marketplaces Act; the 18+ hard block satisfies the platform age-gate requirement
  • Louisiana Age Verification Law (effective July 1, 2026) — FunTalker complies with Louisiana's age verification requirements for platforms with adult content; our birthdate gate and Play Age Signals API constitute our verification mechanism
  • Local Laws — we comply with applicable Pakistani, international, and regional child safety legislation
  • Law Enforcement Cooperation — FunTalker cooperates fully and promptly with law enforcement agencies in child safety investigations, providing requested records and account information as legally required
