🚫 Zero Tolerance Policy for CSAE

Meen has a zero tolerance policy towards Child Sexual Abuse and Exploitation. We are committed to combating all forms of child abuse content on our platform.

Prohibited Content:

• Any images, videos, or content depicting child sexual exploitation
• Content that promotes, encourages, or facilitates child sexual abuse
• Communications or behavior intended to groom minors
• Sharing, requesting, or distributing child sexual abuse material
• Content that sexualizes or exploits minors
• Inappropriate comments, messages, or behavior toward minors

Actions We Take:

• Immediate Removal: Any content violating this policy is removed immediately
• Account Banning: Users violating this policy are permanently banned from the platform
• Cooperation with Authorities: We may cooperate with law enforcement when required by applicable law or valid legal process

👁️ Moderation and Detection

We use a multi-layered approach to protect children on our platform:

1. Automated Screening

• Tools to detect known harmful content
• Automated tools for detecting suspicious content
• Text analysis to identify grooming patterns and inappropriate behavior
• Account activity monitoring to detect suspicious behavior patterns

2. Human Review

• Our moderation team reviews reports
• We review reports as soon as possible; usually within 24–48 hours
• Continuous assessment of high-risk accounts
• Regular monitoring of communication features (messages and comments)

3. In-App Protection Features

• Easily accessible reporting tools throughout the app
• Blocking options to prevent unwanted communications
• Privacy settings to control who can contact users
• Safety warnings and educational tips for young users

📢 How to Report Safety Concerns

Types of Reports

• Child exploitation or abuse content
• Grooming or harassment behavior
• Inappropriate sexual content involving minors
• Inappropriate requests or messages from adults to minors
• Impersonation of a minor
• Any other suspicious behavior related to child safety

What Happens After Reporting?

1. Immediate Review: The report is sent to our safety team immediately
2. Investigation: We review reports as soon as possible; usually within 24–48 hours
3. Action: If a violation is confirmed, we take immediate platform action (removal/ban/account restriction)
4. Follow-up: The reporter is notified that the report has been handled

⚖️ Legal Compliance

Meen is committed to protecting minors and complying with applicable laws and regulations in the jurisdictions where we operate.

Our approach:

• The app is intended for users aged 16 and older and is not directed to children under 16
• We handle personal data in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable data-protection laws
• We review child-safety reports and may remove content, restrict accounts, or take other appropriate action on the platform
• We may cooperate with competent authorities when required by applicable law or valid legal process

Nothing in these standards creates an obligation beyond what applicable law requires. Platform actions (such as removal or account restriction) are not a substitute for contacting local emergency services in an immediate danger situation.
