CSAE Policy

At 2gather, we are committed to maintaining a safe, respectful, and responsible platform for all users. Protecting children from sexual exploitation and abuse is a core part of that commitment. This document outlines our policies and procedures to prevent, report, and respond to CSAE-related incidents on the 2gather app.

2gather has a strict zero-tolerance policy against:

• Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM), including images, videos, text, or links that involve or depict sexual exploitation of children.
• Grooming behaviours, including attempts to manipulate or deceive minors for sexual purposes.
• Sexual solicitation, harassment, or exploitation involving children.
• Any content or conduct that violates child protection laws or our community standards.

Violations will result in:

• Immediate content removal
• Permanent suspension of accounts
• Reporting to law enforcement or national authorities, as applicable

We empower our users to help keep the platform safe through accessible, in-app reporting tools. Users can report:

• Suspicious user profiles
• Inappropriate or harmful messages
• Media or links that violate our child safety policies

How to Report:

• Tap the "Report" option available on user profiles, posts, or messages
• Or email us directly at support@2gather.in

All reports are reviewed by our moderation team as a high priority.

When CSAE-related content or behavior is reported or detected:

• Our team will immediately investigate and take necessary action within 24 hours
• Verified content will be removed, and offending accounts banned permanently
• If legally required, the case will be reported to:

• Local law enforcement
• INHOPE (International Association of Internet Hotlines)
• NCMEC (National Center for Missing & Exploited Children) or relevant jurisdictional authorities

We also retain necessary data to assist law enforcement investigations while complying with privacy laws.

• 2gather complies with child protection laws in all countries where we operate
• Our moderation team receives specialized training in identifying and handling CSAE cases
• We conduct internal reviews of reported incidents and improve detection tools regularly

We have appointed a dedicated officer to manage CSAE-related practices and coordinate with regulators or platform partners.

This CSAE policy is part of our broader Trust and Safety commitment, and is referenced in:

• Our Terms of Service
• Privacy Policy
• Community Guidelines

This policy may be updated periodically to reflect new regulations, platform changes, or safety learnings. We will notify users of material updates and adjust our internal procedures accordingly.
