🚫 Zero Tolerance. Any content or conduct involving the sexual exploitation, abuse, or endangerment of minors will result in immediate permanent account termination, mandatory reporting to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC), and referral to applicable law enforcement agencies — with no exceptions and no appeal.
1. Age Restriction & Enforcement
Piq 4 You is strictly for users aged 18 years and older. By creating an account, you confirm under penalty of account termination that you are at least 18 years of age.
- Date of birth is collected at onboarding and is used to enforce an age gate. Users who do not meet the 18+ threshold cannot complete account creation.
- We do not knowingly collect, store, or process personal data from any person under the age of 18.
- If we discover or are notified that an account belongs to a minor, that account will be immediately and permanently terminated and all associated data will be deleted in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable law.
- Any user found to have falsified their date of birth will be permanently banned.
- All uploaded profile media is reviewed for signs of underage users. Any profile photo that appears to depict a person under 18 will trigger immediate account suspension pending review.
2. Prohibited Content & Conduct
The following are absolute prohibitions. There are no exceptions, context defenses, or gray areas for any item in this list.
- Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM): Any image, video, illustration, animation, or simulated depiction of a minor in a sexual context is absolutely prohibited. Discovery results in immediate termination and mandatory CyberTipline reporting to NCMEC.
- Sexual Exploitation of Minors: Soliciting, grooming, facilitating, or attempting to arrange sexual contact with any person under 18 years of age.
- Grooming Behavior: Attempting to build trust with a minor through gifts, flattery, or progressive boundary erosion for the purpose of sexual exploitation.
- Sharing Minor Content: Sharing, distributing, or requesting images, videos, or discussions involving minors in any sexual or inappropriate capacity.
- Platform Use to Contact Minors: Using Piq 4 You in any attempt to initiate contact with or locate a person believed to be under 18.
- Minors in Profile Media: Profile photos or uploaded media featuring children in any capacity are not permitted, even in non-sexual contexts.
3. Detection & Moderation
Media Moderation Pipeline
Every photo and video uploaded to Piq 4 You enters a multi-stage moderation pipeline before it becomes visible on the platform:
- Automated AI screening: Uploaded media is scanned for CSAM using industry-standard detection hash databases (including PhotoDNA where applicable) and AI classifiers trained on explicit content signals.
- Age estimation signals: AI tools analyze visual features to flag media that may depict individuals who appear to be under 18. Flagged media is routed for human review immediately.
- Human moderation review: All flagged content is reviewed by trained human moderators before approval or rejection. Pending media is not visible to other users.
- Profile-level indicators: Behavioral signals — such as profile age, messaging patterns, and reported interactions — are combined to produce a risk score. High-risk accounts are subject to enhanced review.
Behavioral Signals Monitoring
Our platform monitors and flags suspicious behavioral patterns including but not limited to:
- Accounts that attempt to communicate outside the confirmed-match system (e.g., inserting contact details in a bio or early messages).
- Accounts that change their listed age repeatedly or in unusual patterns.
- Message patterns consistent with grooming language as identified by our safety algorithms.
- Accounts reported by multiple users within a short period of time.
4. How to Report a Suspected Minor or CSAM
If you encounter an account you believe belongs to a minor, or any content you believe constitutes CSAM, take the following steps immediately:
- Use the in-app report button on the profile, photo, message, or any piece of content. Select the relevant category (“Underage user” or “Child sexual content”).
- Block the user to prevent further contact while the report is reviewed.
- Do not download, screenshot, or share any CSAM content. Possession and distribution of such material is a federal crime in the United States and a serious offense in virtually every jurisdiction worldwide.
- For urgent escalation beyond the in-app report, email safety@piq4you.com with the subject line “CHILD SAFETY URGENT.”

5. Law Enforcement Cooperation
Piq4you Inc. maintains a dedicated legal affairs process for law enforcement requests. We cooperate fully and proactively with lawfully issued requests from authorized agencies including:
- Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)
- Department of Homeland Security (DHS) / ICAC (Internet Crimes Against Children) Task Forces
- National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC)
- State and local law enforcement agencies with proper legal authority
- International law enforcement through established mutual legal assistance processes
When we discover or receive a credible report of CSAM on our platform, we are required by federal law (18 U.S.C. § 2258A) to make a CyberTipline report to NCMEC. We do so proactively without waiting for a law enforcement request. We preserve relevant account data, device signals, and content hashes in accordance with federal preservation requirements (18 U.S.C. § 2703(f)) upon becoming aware of a reportable incident.
Law enforcement inquiries should be directed to: legal@piq4you.com. Emergency disclosure requests may be submitted with appropriate documentation establishing imminent risk to a child's safety.
6. Legal Compliance Framework
Our child safety practices are designed to comply with the following legal frameworks, among others:
- PROTECT Our Children Act (2008): Electronic service providers are required to report apparent CSAM to NCMEC.
- COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act): We do not knowingly collect data from users under 13. Our 18+ policy exceeds COPPA requirements.
- CIPA / CSAE Regulations: We align with Child Sexual Abuse & Exploitation (CSAE) international standards and best practices.
- EARN IT Act compliance posture: We maintain good-faith compliance practices consistent with best practices for online platforms.
- GDPR / CCPA: Special protections apply to any personal data we process that could be associated with a minor; such data is deleted as quickly as technically possible upon discovery.
- Apple App Store & Google Play Policies: All content moderation practices conform to platform distributor child safety requirements.
7. Keeping Your Account Safe
Every adult user has a role in keeping Piq 4 You safe for the community:
- Report any account that appears underage immediately — even if you are not certain. We would rather investigate a false positive than miss an actual minor.
- Do not share explicit content with anyone who has not verified they are an adult you know personally.
- Use the block feature immediately if you receive any communication that seems designed to exploit, manipulate, or harm.
- Never encourage or assist a minor in creating an account on Piq 4 You.
- If a user tells you they are under 18, stop all contact immediately and report the account.
This policy is reviewed and updated regularly. By using Piq 4 You, you agree to comply with these standards. — Piq4you Inc. Trust & Safety Team
