Child Safety Policy

Last updated: February 28, 2025

Child Sexualization

Content that sexualizes children has no place on Gay Buddy. We don't tolerate any kind of text or media — real or generated — on our platform that portrays children in a sexual manner. This type of content causes serious harm to victims.

You may not share the following types of content:

• Portrayals of minors engaging in sex acts, or in sexually explicit or suggestive poses
• Sexual texts or audio about or desires for real or fictitious minors
• Links to websites containing material that sexualizes minors
• Statements expressing intent to obtain materials of child abuse or engage in child sexual abuse
• Promotion, encouragement or normalization of pedophilia or sexual attraction to children

Teen Self-Endangerment

We take the safety of our younger users seriously and don't allow children under the age of 18 to have a Gay Buddy account. We want our users to be able to express themselves freely on Gay Buddy while also taking steps to ensure they don't engage in risky behaviors that might endanger their safety and wellbeing.

While we understand that users may want to help each other stay safe online, we cannot allow users or communities to put themselves in potential harm's way. This means that we will take action against users that we reasonably believe are trying to "bait" or entrap others into inappropriate interactions.

We expect that some users might violate this policy without realizing it, so we provide warnings where possible. However, for their own safety, we permanently remove a user's account from the platform if we see consistent violations of this policy or if the user appears to be in immediate risk of harm.

If you are under the age of 18, you may not engage in the following:

• Send sexually explicit text or audio to another user
• Send your own sexually explicit content ("nudes") to another user — even if they're also under 18
• Ask for others to send you sexually explicit content
• Deliberately try to "bait," trick, or entrap an adult user into sending sexual content to yourself or another underage user

How to Avoid Violating These Policies

• Do not send messages or audio about sexualizing, grooming, or abusing children — even as a joke
• Do not send or ask for sexual content from anyone under the age of 18 — even if you are also under 18
• If you are not sure whether a piece of content might violate these policies, don't share it

How to Report Violations of These Policies

Reporting safety violations is critically important to keeping you and the broader Gay Buddy community safe. All Gay Buddy users can report policy violations by contacting us at support@alnicotech.com.

Resources

Our app is a platform that connects users for networking and social interactions. We do not conduct background checks on users, and we are not responsible for any actions, behavior, or misconduct of users outside the platform. Any communication, meeting, or interaction beyond our app — whether in person, online, or on another platform — is at your own risk. By using our app, you acknowledge that we are not liable for any harm, abuse, or criminal activity that may occur as a result of such interactions. If you experience any issues, we encourage you to report them to the appropriate authorities.

However, if your sensitive photos have been shared or published online, the following resources can help:

• Take It Down (NCMEC) — a service that helps remove online nude, partially nude, or sexually explicit photos and videos taken before you were 18.

If you or someone else is in danger, we encourage you to contact law enforcement right away and let them know what's going on, regardless of the information you're able to provide.

If you or a friend needs mental health support, please reach out to a local crisis hotline or mental health professional in your area.

Although we're not affiliated with staff at any of these hotlines, they're trained to help and guide callers with ways to address things that are bothering them.
