Child Safety

Child Sexual Abuse and Exploitation
These standards apply to all users and content on the Hunch app and all services operated by INKS Technology Services Pte. Ltd. These guidelines on child sexual exploitation, abuse, and nudity are designed to create a safe online environment for Hunch Users. Any attempt to share, request, or distribute Child Sexual Abuse Material (‘CSAM’) or Child Sexual Abuse and Expolitation (‘CSAE’) related content will result in a permanent ban from the Platform. We use automated detection tools and manual review processes to prevent, detect, and remove such content.
For the purpose of these Guidelines:
CSAM refers to any visual depiction, including but not limited to photos, videos and computer generated imagery, involving the use of a minor engaging in sexually explicit conduct.
CSAE includes any content or behavior that sexually exploits, abuses, or endangers children. This includes, for example, grooming a child for sexual exploitation, sextorting a child, trafficking of a child for sex, or otherwise sexually exploiting a child.

Please read the below section carefully to understand how CSAM and CSAE related content is treated on Hunch.
General Restrictions

Child Sexual Exploitation: Any Content that is sexually explicit and involves, supports or encourages sexual exploitation or abuse of minors, including content which is AI generated, contains fictional characters, dolls, etc. is strictly prohibited. Strict action will be taken against any Content or Users that promotes the child sexual exploitation imagery, child grooming, sextortion, trafficking, or any other inappropriate interaction targeted at a child.
Solicitation: Any Content that solicits sexual favours from children, including advertising or solicitation of a child for commercial sexual exploitation is strictly prohibited.

Sextortion: Any behavior that threatens or coerces minors into sharing explicit content through blackmail, threats, or intimidation is banned.
