At Sparks, we are deeply committed to safeguarding the safety, dignity, and rights of children on our platform. We strictly prohibit any form of abuse, exploitation, or inappropriate conduct involving minors (individuals under the age of 13) and adhere to all applicable laws and regulations regarding child protection. Our Child Privacy Policy sets forth our guiding principles, expected behaviors, and enforcement measures to ensure a secure and supportive environment for children. Protecting the well-being of minors is at the core of our mission, and we take all necessary steps to prevent harm and uphold their privacy.

1. Scope of application

This policy applies to all users and content on the platform, including user-generated content, interactive behaviors, reporting mechanisms, and content review processes. We emphasize fostering a safe, respectful, and inclusive environment for all users, with enhanced safeguards for minors.

2. Age Verification and Access Control

  • Users must provide accurate age information during account registration.
  • Users under the age of 13 (or higher if required by applicable laws) are prohibited from accessing our services without verified parental consent.
  • Certain features (e.g., live streaming, direct messaging, location sharing) may be restricted or disabled for underage users to mitigate potential risks.

3. Prohibited Content and Behaviors

We maintain a zero-tolerance policy regarding the following:

  • Sexual exploitation, abuse, or grooming of minors
  • Creation or distribution of child sexual abuse material (CSAM)
  • Manipulative or targeted advertising directed at minors
  • Acts of violence, harassment, or bullying against underage users
  • Any content that sexualizes, objectifies, or endangers minors

Violations will result in immediate account suspension or termination and may be reported to relevant authorities for further investigation.

4. Moderation and Content Control

We employ a combination of advanced automated detection tools and trained human moderators to monitor and review user-generated content, ensuring that harmful material is identified and removed promptly—typically within 24 hours of being reported. To further strengthen our safeguards, our safety systems and moderation protocols are regularly updated and improved to address emerging risks and threats, such as new grooming tactics and concealed CSAM.

5. Reporting and Enforcement

  • In-app functions are available to flag harmful behavior or content.
  • Reports involving minors receive highest priority and are typically reviewed within 24 hours.
  • Actions taken may include:
    • Content removal
    • Account suspension or permanent ban
    • Referral to law enforcement when legally required

6. Cooperation with Authorities

  • Law enforcement agencies
  • Child protection organizations
  • Regulatory authorities (where applicable)

In cases involving suspected abuse or exploitation, we provide all necessary support and information in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
