Child Safety Standards Policy
At Ding – Check in & Flirt, the safety and well-being of our users is a top priority. While our platform is designed strictly for adults, we have implemented policies and controls to ensure a safe environment and compliance with Google Play’s child safety standards.
1. Not Intended for Children
- Our app is strictly intended for users aged 18 and older.
- During registration, users are required to confirm their age and agree to our Terms of Use.
- We do not knowingly collect or solicit personal data from anyone under the age of 18. If we learn that we have unintentionally collected data from a minor, we will delete it immediately.
2. Age Verification and Content Restrictions
- We display clear age restrictions in the app store listing.
- Users must verify their age during onboarding.
- We do not host or promote any content targeted toward children.
3. Moderation and Safety Features
- Conversations are time-limited and location-bound to minimize risks.
- We use automated tools and manual review to monitor suspicious or abusive behavior.
- A safety alert/report button is present in every chat.
4. Reporting and Enforcement
- Users can report abusive or inappropriate behavior within the app.
- Reported accounts are reviewed and may be suspended or permanently banned.
- We investigate all reports involving potential child endangerment or illegal activity and cooperate with relevant authorities where necessary.
5. Parental Awareness
- We encourage parents and guardians to monitor their children’s mobile device usage.
- We recommend the use of parental controls and Google Play’s Family Link tools to prevent underage users from downloading our app.
6. Compliance
- This policy is designed to meet Google Play’s Child Safety Standards and to align with COPPA (Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act) principles, even though our app is not directed at children.
