Child Safety Standards Policy

Effective Date: July 9, 2025

At GoMarry.com, we are committed to fostering a safe, respectful, and lawful environment for all users, with a paramount focus on protecting children and minors from harm. Our App is designed exclusively for adults aged 18 and older seeking consensual, marriage-focused relationships, whether monogamous or polygamous. This Child Safety Standards Policy outlines our measures to comply with the child safety requirements of the Apple App Store, Google Play Store, and applicable laws, including the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and global child protection regulations. We strictly prohibit any content or behavior that exploits, endangers, or targets minors.

1. Age Restrictions and User Eligibility

Our Apps are intended solely for users aged 18 and above, and we enforce strict measures to prevent access by minors.

Age Verification Process

During registration, users must provide their date of birth and confirm they are 18 or older.
We implement age-gating mechanisms, including mandatory age confirmation prompts and optional identity verification (e.g., email verification or government-issued ID checks where required).
Any account found to belong to a user under 18 will be immediately suspended, and the incident will be reported to relevant authorities as required by law.

No Child-Directed Content

Our Apps do not target or appeal to children under 13, as defined by COPPA.
All features, including user profiles, messaging, and imagery, are designed for adult audiences seeking long-term, marriage-focused relationships.

2. Prohibition of Child Sexual Abuse and Exploitation

We maintain a zero-tolerance policy for any content or behavior that endangers or exploits minors.

Zero Tolerance for CSAM

We strictly prohibit any content or behavior involving Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM), grooming, exploitation, or endangerment of minors. This includes, but is not limited to, images, videos, text, or communications that depict, promote, or facilitate the sexual abuse or exploitation of children.

Content Moderation

All user-generated content (e.g., profile photos, descriptions, messages) is subject to automated and manual moderation.
We employ trained human moderators to detect and remove any content violating child safety standards.
Suspicious content is flagged and reviewed within 24 hours, with CSAM-related material escalated immediately for removal and reporting.

Reporting Mechanisms

Our App provides in-app reporting tools, accessible via profile and messaging interfaces, allowing users to flag inappropriate content or behavior.
Reports related to CSAM or child endangerment are prioritized and escalated to our moderation team. Where required, we report such incidents to law enforcement and organizations, such as the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC), in compliance with applicable laws.

3. User Safety and Interaction Safeguards

We implement robust safeguards to ensure safe and respectful interactions on our App.

Profile Verification: To prevent fraudulent or underage accounts, users must verify their email during registration. Optional identity verification (e.g., uploading a document) may be required for premium features. Users cannot set match preferences for ages below 18, and our systems block any attempts to circumvent this restriction.
Safe Communication: Our messaging systems are designed to facilitate respectful, marriage-focused interactions. Automated filters scan messages for explicit content, predatory behavior, or inappropriate language. Users can block or report other users instantly, with reported accounts reviewed promptly by our moderation team.
Community Guidelines: Our App enforces strict Community Guidelines prohibiting harassment, explicit content, or any behavior that could endanger users. Violations result in account suspension or permanent bans.

4. Data Privacy and Protection

We prioritize user privacy and comply with global data protection laws to ensure no minors’ data is collected.

Compliance with COPPA and Global Privacy Laws: We do not collect, store, or process personal data from users under 13, in compliance with COPPA. As Our App is restricted to users 18+, we ensure no minors’ data is collected. We comply with global privacy regulations, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as outlined in our Privacy Policy.
Data Security: User data is protected using industry-standard encryption and secure storage practices. We do not share personal information with third parties without explicit user consent, except as required by law or to address CSAM-related reports.
Transparency: Our Privacy Policy, accessible within our App and on our website, clearly explains data collection, usage, and user rights, ensuring transparency and compliance with platform requirements.

5. Compliance with App Store and Play Store Guidelines

We align our App with the safety and legal requirements of the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.

Apple App Store: Our App adheres to Section 1.1.4 of the App Store Review Guidelines, prohibiting objectionable content, including anything that exploits or endangers minors. We maintain an age rating of 17+ and include clear disclaimers in the app description stating that Our Apps are for adults only and do not target children.
Google Play Store: We comply with Google Play’s Families Policies and Child Safety Standards, ensuring Our App does not collect sensitive data from children, promote unsafe behavior, or allow interactions that could harm minors. Our App is designated as “Not Designed for Children” in the Google Play Console, with no features that appeal to users under 13.
Legal Compliance: Our App facilitates consensual, non-legally binding relationship arrangements and urges users to comply with local laws regarding marriage and polygamy. We include disclaimers in our Terms of Service clarifying that users are responsible for ensuring their actions align with applicable legal requirements in their jurisdiction.

6. User Education and Support

We ensure users are informed about our safety policies and have access to support.

Onboarding Information: During account creation, users are informed of our Child Safety Standards Policy, age restrictions, and Community Guidelines through clear, mandatory prompts.
Customer Support: We provide 24/7 customer support via in-app chat and email contact@gomarry.com to address safety concerns or policy violations.
Transparency: This policy is prominently displayed within Our App and on our website GoMarry.com to ensure users understand our commitment to child safety.

7. Enforcement and Accountability

We take swift action to enforce this policy and maintain a safe environment.

Policy Violations: Users found violating this Child Safety Standards Policy, including attempting to access Our Apps as a minor or engaging in prohibited behavior, will face immediate account suspension or termination.
Continuous Improvement: We regularly review and update our safety protocols, moderation tools, and verification processes to align with evolving platform guidelines and legal requirements.
Collaboration with Authorities: We cooperate fully with law enforcement and regulatory bodies to address any child safety concerns, including reporting CSAM to NCMEC and local authorities as required.
