Child Safety Standards
Zero-tolerance policy
Aivara strictly prohibits child sexual abuse and exploitation (CSAE), including child sexual abuse material (CSAM), grooming, solicitation, trafficking, coercion, sexualisation of minors, and any attempt to create, request, share or promote such content.
- Any account involved in CSAE is permanently removed.
- CSAE content is removed immediately when detected or reported.
- We cooperate with law enforcement where required by law, including Indian authorities under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act, 2012 (POCSO) and Section 67B of the Information Technology Act, 2000.
Adults only
Aivara is for people 18 years and older. Date of birth is collected at sign-up and anyone under 18 is refused an account. If we learn a minor has created an account, we delete it immediately.
Verification is mandatory
No account can reach the discovery feed without completing both verification steps.
- Live selfie verification. The member does one or two random actions on camera, and the selfie is compared against the account's own profile photos before the account is let in. There is no skip option and no browse-first mode.
- WhatsApp number verification. Every account must verify a mobile number over WhatsApp, which makes throwaway and repeat accounts much harder to create.
Both checks are re-applied every time the app starts, so closing the app during sign-up does not get around them.
Prevention and enforcement
- Every new profile photo is screened automatically on upload, and flagged photos are reviewed by our moderation team.
- AI-based moderation helps detect and remove sexually explicit content. It is an assistive layer and can make mistakes, so enforcement decisions include human review.
- Every profile has block and report, and reports are reviewed by a person.
- Repeat or severe violations lead to permanent bans.
How to report a child safety concern
- In the app: use the report option on any profile.
- Email: smewritingagency@gmail.com
Include the account name, the time and what happened so our safety team can act quickly. Please do not email illegal images or videos.
