Child Safety and CSAE Standards

1. Zero-Tolerance Policy for CSAE and CSAM

UpFront strictly prohibits:

• Any Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM)
• All forms of child sexual exploitation or endangerment
• Grooming, solicitation, or attempts to engage a minor in sexual activity
• Sharing, distributing, or possessing sexualized images of minors

Violations result in immediate account removal and mandatory reporting to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) and other international authorities, as applicable.

2. Adults-Only Platform Requirement

UpFront is exclusively for adults aged 18 and older.

To enforce this:

• Users must attest they are 18+ during account creation
• Automated signals detect content or behavior suggesting a minor may be present
• Human review is conducted when age-related concerns arise
• Accounts identified as belonging to minors are permanently removed and cannot be reinstated under any circumstances

3. Proactive Detection and Moderation Systems

UpFront uses a combination of automated tools, machine learning, and human review to identify and remove harmful content.

These measures include:

• Detection technologies that identify known CSAM through hash-matching and image analysis
• AI-powered content scanning for inappropriate material involving minors
• Behavioral analysis to identify grooming patterns or predatory conduct
• Human moderation teams trained in child safety protocols
• Regular system updates and improvements to address evolving threats

4. Procedures for Reporting and Law Enforcement Compliance

UpFront promptly reports any confirmed CSAM to:

• The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC)
• Federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies
• Additional authorities as required by applicable law

Internal protocols ensure:

• Secure evidence preservation
• Documented moderation actions
• Timely reporting within legally required timeframes
• Cooperation during all law enforcement investigations

UpFront does not inform users when their content or activity is under investigation.

5. User Reporting and Safety Escalation

Users play a critical role in keeping the platform safe. UpFront provides easy ways to report:

• Suspected CSAM
• Profiles that may belong to minors
• Grooming or predatory behavior
• Inappropriate or sexualized images of individuals under 18
• Any other child safety concerns

Reports can be submitted through:

• In-app reporting tools
• Emailing the Safety Team at safety@upfrontmarriage.com
• The online help form (linked within the app and website)

All child safety reports receive urgent review and prioritized action.

6. Cooperation With Child Safety Organizations and Authorities

UpFront cooperates fully with:

• NCMEC
• Federal, state, and international law enforcement
• Industry groups that support child protection
• Digital safety initiatives that identify and disrupt CSAM networks

We share information and resources with these authorities as permitted by law.

7. Staff Training and Internal Controls

All UpFront personnel involved in content moderation, safety review, customer support, or system design receive training on:

• Identifying and handling CSAM
• Recognizing grooming patterns and exploitation risks
• Legal reporting requirements for CSAM
• Trauma-informed and safety-first response protocols
• Privacy, security, and evidence-preservation standards

Training is mandatory, recurring, and updated as international standards evolve.

8. Preventive Safety Measures and Community Education

UpFront incorporates additional preventive measures to strengthen child safety, including:

• Clear Terms of Use and Community Guidelines prohibiting CSAE
• Strict enforcement for all accounts attempting to upload inappropriate images
• Automated removal of sexualized material involving minors
• Educational prompts encouraging community vigilance and secure behavior
• Technologies that restrict inappropriate content before it reaches other users

Users are encouraged to review our Safety Center for best-practice guidance.
