Child Safety Standards

Effective date: July 2, 2026 · Last updated: July 2, 2026

🔞 MindMatch is an adults-only application (18+)

MindMatch has a zero-tolerance policy toward child sexual abuse and exploitation (CSAE) in any form. This page describes the rules, systems, and reporting tools we maintain to keep minors off the platform and to detect, prevent, and respond to any attempt at child exploitation.

1. MindMatch Is Restricted to Adults (18+)

MindMatch is designed exclusively for adult users. You must be at least 18 years old to create an account or use any part of the Service.

During onboarding, every user must confirm they are 18 or older before an account can be created.
Accounts found to belong to a user under 18 are suspended immediately upon discovery and the associated data is deleted.
MindMatch is not directed at, marketed to, or intended for children, and we do not knowingly allow minors to register.

2. Rules and Systems That Prevent Child Exploitation

Zero-tolerance content policy

Uploading, sharing, requesting, or soliciting child sexual abuse material (CSAM), or any content that sexualizes or endangers a minor, is strictly prohibited under our Terms of Service and results in an immediate, permanent account ban.

Content moderation

Profile photos and reported content are subject to review, and accounts flagged for suspicious behavior (e.g. impersonation, grooming patterns, or requests to move minors off-platform) are investigated by our safety team.

Account restrictions

Users can only message people they have matched with, reducing unsolicited contact. Blocked users immediately lose the ability to view a profile, send messages, or send connection requests.

Enforcement and law enforcement cooperation

Confirmed violations result in immediate content removal and account termination. Where required by law, we preserve relevant records and cooperate with law enforcement and child-safety organizations such as the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC).

3. Reporting a Concern Inside the App

MindMatch includes a built-in reporting feature so that any user can flag suspected child exploitation, inappropriate content, or unsafe behavior directly from the app:

Report a profile or message — open the user's profile or the conversation, tap the menu (⋮) icon, and select "Report".
Block a user — from the same menu, select "Block" to immediately cut off contact.
General reports — go to Settings → Report a Problem to submit a report even if it is not tied to a specific profile or message.

Every report is reviewed by our safety team. Reports involving suspected child exploitation are treated as our highest priority and are actioned as a matter of urgency, which may include immediate suspension of the reported account pending investigation.

4. Contact Us

If you believe a MindMatch account is being used to endanger, exploit, or harm a minor, please report it in the app using the steps above, or contact us directly:
