Our policy complies with Google Play’s Child Endangerment and Child Safety Standards policies, ensuring our app remains free of child sexual abuse and exploitation. This policy applies to all users, developers, and content creators interacting with our app.
This policy applies to all content within Swoopchat including but not limited to user-generated content, app features, text, images, videos, audio, profiles, and interactions.
- Swoopchat strictly prohibits any content or behavior that exploits, endangers, or facilitates harm to children. This includes, but is not limited to:
- Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM): Any visual, textual, or auditory content depicting or promoting sexual abuse or exploitation of minors.
- Facilitation of Exploitation: Content or features that enable users to create, upload, or distribute material that exploits or endangers children, including grooming or predatory behavior.
- Inappropriate Interactions: Communications or interactions targeting minors for exploitative purposes, such as soliciting explicit content or engaging in sexualized conversations.
- Depictions of Harm: Content that promotes or depicts violence, abuse, or neglect of children.
Enforcement: Any violation of this section will result in immediate removal of the offending content, suspension or termination of the user’s account, and reporting to relevant authorities as required by law. The app itself may face removal from Google Play if it fails to prohibit such content.
- As outlined by Google Play, apps in the Social and Dating categories must implement robust safeguards to protect children. Swoopchat adheres to the following standards:
- Content Moderation: All user-generated content (e.g., profiles, images) is subject to moderation to detect and remove material that violates child safety standards.
- User Reporting: We encourage users to report inappropriate content or behavior and will prioritize reports for child safety concerns.
Enforcement: Failure to comply with these standards will result in content removal, or account suspension. We continuously update our moderation systems to align with Google Play’s requirements.
- Swoopchat encourages users to report any content or behavior that violates this policy. Reports can be submitted via: in-app on the profile of the offending user or by email to swoop@swoop.chat.
