Child Safety Standards
Our standards against child sexual abuse and exploitation (CSAE) · Last updated July 4, 2026
Zero tolerance. 5arz strictly prohibits child sexual abuse material (CSAM) and any content or conduct that sexualizes, exploits, endangers, or otherwise harms children. There are no exceptions, and violations result in immediate removal, account termination, content preservation, and reporting to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC).
What is prohibited
- Any child sexual abuse material (CSAM), including real, AI-generated, animated, or otherwise fictional depictions.
- Grooming, solicitation, sextortion, or any attempt to contact or exploit a minor.
- Sexualization of minors in any form, including text, images, or links.
- Trafficking, endangerment, or facilitation of harm to a child.
How we detect and prevent it
We combine automated and human measures. Uploaded media is matched against known-CSAM hash lists and screened by content-safety tooling before it is stored or shown, and our systems flag prohibited text. We do not describe the internal specifics of our detection methods, because doing so would help offenders evade them. Accounts that violate these standards are suspended pending review.
Reporting to authorities
When we become aware of apparent CSAM, we preserve the content and associated records as required by law, and we report to NCMEC's CyberTipline, which works with law enforcement worldwide. Reports are handled confidentially and in accordance with applicable law (including 18 U.S.C. § 2258A).
How to report a concern
If you encounter content or behavior that may violate these standards, please tell us immediately:
- In the app: use the Report option on any content or profile.
- By email: safety@5arz.com (monitored by our Trust & Safety team).
- Emergency: if a child is in immediate danger, contact your local emergency services first.
- You can also report directly to NCMEC at report.cybertip.org or, in the US, call 1-800-843-5678.

Protecting children is a non-negotiable priority for 5arz. We continually improve our safeguards, cooperate with NCMEC and law enforcement, and maintain a designated point of contact for child-safety matters. Our Trust & Safety point of contact can be reached at safety@5arz.com.
