Child Safety Policy

Hypefindr is only for adults, and it has zero tolerance for the sexual exploitation, grooming or endangerment of children. We remove it, ban the accounts involved permanently, and report it to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC). This policy is part of the Terms of Service.

If a child is in danger right now, call 911 or your local emergency number.

1. You must be 18 or older

You must be at least 18 to have a Hypefindr account. Every account must give a name and date of birth before using the app, and our server refuses any date of birth under 18. If we learn that a user is under 18, we delete the account and its data. A parent's permission does not change this.

2. What is never allowed

Every item here is zero tolerance: an immediate permanent ban and, where the law requires or allows, a report to NCMEC and law enforcement.

• Child sexual abuse material (CSAM) in any form: photos, video, streams, drawings, animation, AI-generated or edited images, or text describing sexual activity with a minor.
• Sexualizing minors, including sexual comments about a minor or a minor's body, and sharing "non-nude" images of minors in a sexualized way.
• Grooming and contact: using Hypefindr to find, contact, build trust with or meet anyone under 18 for any sexual or exploitative purpose, including asking for photos, secrecy or personal details, offering gifts or money, or moving the conversation to another app.
• Private meetings: using chat, Meet Up requests, Crews or events to arrange a private one-on-one meeting with a minor you do not already know offline.
• Sextortion: threatening to share intimate images of a minor, or of anyone, to get money, more images or anything else.
• Trafficking: recruiting, advertising, buying or selling a minor for sex or labor.
• Exposing minors to sexual content, including showing or sending sexual images or messages to a minor.
• Harmful content involving minors: minors being abused, endangered, humiliated, or given alcohol, drugs or weapons.

3. How we find it

We act on user reports and emails, and on what we see when we review content and accounts. Live chat also passes through an automatic word filter. A person on our team reviews every report.

4. What we do when we find it

1. Remove the content and disable the account and any linked accounts.
2. Report apparent child sexual exploitation, child sex trafficking and online enticement of children to NCMEC's CyberTipline, as 18 U.S.C. § 2258A requires. NCMEC makes reports available to law enforcement around the world.
3. Preserve the content and related account data for at least one year after the report, as federal law requires, and longer if law enforcement asks us to.
4. Respond to law enforcement requests on a priority basis.

We do not tell the reported account that a report was made to NCMEC.

5. How to report

• In the app: report the post, live stream, event, chat message or person (Report user on their profile) and choose "Nudity or sexual" or "Something else." Then email us as well, so we know it concerns a child.
• By email: hype.hypefindr@gmail.com, subject "Child Safety." Describe what you saw and include links or usernames. Do not send the images themselves.
• To NCMEC directly: report.cybertip.org or 1-800-843-5678.
• If a minor's intimate images are being shared: NCMEC's Take It Down service at takeitdown.ncmec.org can help remove them from participating platforms.

Never screenshot, download, save or forward child sexual abuse material, even to report it. Possessing or sharing it is a crime.

6. Someone under 18 on Hypefindr

If you believe someone under 18 has an account, email hype.hypefindr@gmail.com with the subject "Underage Account" and the username, or report one of their posts or live streams in the app and choose "Something else." Parents and guardians can do the same. We delete the account and its data.

7. Minors in content

• Content made for pay that features a child must follow Minnesota's law on minors in content creation (Minn. Laws 2024, ch. 103) and similar laws. Under Minnesota law, children under 14 may not be engaged in content creation, and earnings from content featuring minors must be set aside for them. Creators are solely responsible for complying.
• A person 13 or older, or an adult who appeared in content as a minor, may ask us to remove content showing their likeness under the Content Removal Requests policy.

8. Sex offenders

Registered sex offenders, and people under court orders restricting contact with minors or use of social media, may not use Hypefindr. We remove any account we identify.
