NHI Alumni Network — Child Safety & CSAE Standards

 

 

 

1. Commitment to Child Safety

NHI Alumni Network is committed to
maintaining a safe, respectful, and supportive community for all users. We
enforce a strict zero‑tolerance policy toward Child Sexual Abuse and
Exploitation (CSAE)
and Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM). Any
attempt to harm, exploit, or endanger a minor is prohibited and will result in
immediate action.

2. Definitions

Child Sexual Abuse and Exploitation (CSAE)

CSAE includes any content or behavior that
sexually exploits, abuses, or endangers a minor. This includes grooming,
sextortion, trafficking, solicitation, coercion, or any other form of sexual
exploitation. This definition aligns with global norms and Google Play’s Child
Safety Standards policy .

Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM)

CSAM refers to any visual, audio, textual,
or digital content depicting or representing the sexual abuse or exploitation
of a minor. CSAM is illegal worldwide, and NHI Alumni Network enforces
immediate removal and reporting.

3. Prohibited Content & Conduct

Users may not upload, share, request,
distribute, or engage in any activity involving:

  • CSAE or CSAM
  • Grooming or sexual communication with
    minors
  • Sexualized depictions of minors,
    including AI‑generated or manipulated content
  • Attempts to solicit minors for sexual
    purposes
  • Any activity that endangers the
    physical or emotional safety of children

Violations may result in account
termination and reporting to relevant authorities.

4. In‑App Reporting Mechanisms

NHI Alumni Network provides accessible
reporting tools for users to flag harmful content or behavior. Users may
report:

  • Suspected CSAE or CSAM
  • Accounts targeting or impersonating
    minors
  • Any child safety concern

Reports can be submitted through in‑app
reporting features or via email at [your safety email]. All reports are
reviewed promptly.

5. Response to CSAM

When CSAM is detected or reported, NHI
Alumni Network takes immediate and appropriate action, including:

  • Removing the content
  • Suspending or terminating associated
    accounts
  • Preserving evidence as required by
    law
  • Reporting the content to child
    protection organizations and law enforcement

These actions align with global child
safety laws and industry best practices.

Safety Officer
responsible for reviewing reports, coordinating responses,
and ensuring compliance with CSAE/CSAM standards.
