Fitafy Standards Against Child Sexual Abuse & Exploitation

Effective Date: March 10, 2026 Standards Against Child Sexual Abuse/Exploitation

1. Purpose and Commitment

Fitafy is a fitness-themed dating application designed exclusively for adults aged 18 and over. We are committed to maintaining a safe platform free from child sexual abuse and exploitation (CSAE) in any form. This document outlines our comprehensive standards, policies, and procedures to prevent, detect, and respond to CSAE content and behavior on our platform.

Fitafy maintains a zero-tolerance policy toward any content or conduct that sexually exploits or endangers children. This commitment extends to all users, employees, contractors, and third-party partners associated with our platform.

2. Definitions

Child: Any individual under the age of 18, regardless of the age of majority in any particular jurisdiction.

CSAM (Child Sexual Abuse Material): Any visual depiction, including photographs, videos, digital or computer-generated images, that involves a minor engaged in sexually explicit conduct, or any content that depicts, promotes, or facilitates the sexual exploitation of a child.

CSAE (Child Sexual Abuse and Exploitation): Any form of sexual abuse or exploitation involving a minor, including but not limited to the creation, distribution, or possession of CSAM; online grooming; solicitation of minors for sexual purposes; sextortion; and any conduct that facilitates or promotes such activities.

Grooming: The process by which an individual builds trust and emotional connection with a minor for the purposes of sexual exploitation or abuse.

3. Age Restriction and Verification

Fitafy is strictly limited to users aged 18 and above. We implement the following measures to enforce this restriction:

• All users must confirm they are at least 18 years of age during the registration process.
• Date of birth is collected and validated at sign-up, and users declaring an age below 18 are prevented from creating an account.
• Accounts suspected of belonging to individuals under 18 are immediately suspended and investigated.
• We continuously evaluate and adopt enhanced age verification technologies as they become available and industry standards evolve.

The following content and conduct are strictly prohibited on Fitafy:

• Any child sexual abuse material (CSAM), including real, digitally generated, or AI-generated imagery.
• Content that sexualises minors in any way, including text, images, illustrations, or any other media format.
• Solicitation, grooming, or enticement of minors for sexual purposes.
• Sextortion or any attempt to coerce a minor into sharing sexual content.
• Sharing, requesting, or distributing intimate or sexual content involving minors.
• Any communication that seeks to establish inappropriate contact with a minor.

• Using the platform to facilitate any form of child trafficking or exploitation.

5. Detection and Enforcement Mechanisms

5.1 Content Moderation

Fitafy employs a multi-layered approach to content moderation:

• Automated AI-powered content scanning to detect and flag potential CSAM and exploitative material before it is distributed on the platform.
• Trained human moderation teams who review flagged content and conduct proactive reviews of user-generated content.

5.2 User Reporting

Fitafy provides accessible and effective reporting mechanisms:

• Reports related to child safety are escalated immediately and reviewed as the highest priority, typically within 24 hours.
• Users may also report concerns via email at support@fitafy.com.

5.3 Account Enforcement

When CSAE violations are identified, Fitafy takes immediate action:

• Immediate suspension of the offending account upon detection of CSAE content or behavior.
• Preservation of all relevant evidence and account data for law enforcement purposes.
• Blocking of associated identifiers (device IDs, phone numbers) to prevent re-registration.

6. Employee and Contractor Training

All Fitafy personnel involved in content moderation, trust and safety, or user support are required to:

• Complete mandatory child safety training upon hiring and annual refresher training thereafter.

7. Data Handling and Privacy

Fitafy actively collaborates with external organisations to strengthen child safety:

• We participate in industry-wide initiatives and information-sharing efforts to combat CSAE.
• Third-party service providers who process user-generated content are contractually required to comply with our CSAE standards.

10. Governance and Accountability

Fitafy maintains clear governance structures for child safety:
