Child Safety Standards
& CSAE Prevention

Drifty is exclusively designed for adults aged 18 years and older. We do not knowingly allow minors to create accounts or access our platform in any capacity.

• Mandatory age verification for all new account registrations
• Aadhaar-linked identity verification to confirm users are 18+
• Immediate and permanent account suspension if a user is found to be underage
• No second chances — accounts of minors are permanently banned, not temporarily suspended
• AI-powered behavioral analysis to detect potential underage activity patterns

The following content and behaviors are strictly prohibited on Drifty. Violations result in immediate account termination and mandatory reporting to law enforcement authorities.

• Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) of any kind — images, videos, or text
• Sexualization of minors in any form including fictional or animated depictions
• Grooming behaviors — attempting to establish inappropriate relationships with minors
• Solicitation of minors for sexual conversations, imagery, or in-person meetings
• Sharing, distributing, or requesting sexually explicit content involving anyone under 18
• Attempts to circumvent age verification systems
• Misrepresenting one's age to interact with minors on the platform
• Any content that normalizes, glorifies, or encourages the sexual exploitation of children
• Using the platform to coordinate or arrange contact with minors outside the app

Drifty employs multiple layers of technical and human review to proactively detect and prevent child sexual abuse and exploitation on our platform.

• PhotoDNA Scanning: All images uploaded to Drifty are scanned against Microsoft PhotoDNA hash database to detect known CSAM before it can be shared
• AI Content Moderation: Machine learning models scan all profile images, chat messages, and voice notes for potentially harmful content in real-time
• Human Review Team: A dedicated trust and safety team reviews flagged content 24/7, with specialized training in CSAE identification
• Behavioral Detection: Algorithmic monitoring flags grooming-pattern language, age-solicitation attempts, and suspicious behavioral signals
• User Reporting: Every profile and every message has a one-tap report button; child safety reports are prioritized for immediate human review
• Proactive Hash Matching: We participate in industry hash-sharing initiatives to stay updated on new CSAM material

Drifty users can report child safety concerns directly within the app or by contacting our safety team. All reports are treated as high priority and investigated immediately.

In addition to in-app reporting, you may also report concerns through the following channels:

• Email our safety team at driftysupportapp@gmail.com for urgent concerns
• Report to NCMEC CyberTipline at cybertipline.org for CSAM content
• Report to India's NCRB Cyber Crime Portal at cybercrime.gov.in
• Contact your local police or cyber crime cell for immediate law enforcement assistance
• Call India's Childline helpline at 1098 for child welfare emergencies

Drifty complies fully with all applicable child safety laws in India and internationally. We cooperate proactively with law enforcement agencies and regulatory authorities.

• Mandatory Reporting: We report all discovered CSAM to NCMEC CyberTipline as required, and to Indian authorities including NCRB and local cyber crime units
• Evidence Preservation: Upon detection of CSAM or suspected exploitation, we immediately preserve all relevant evidence in compliance with legal requirements before account removal
• Law Enforcement Requests: We respond to valid legal requests from Indian law enforcement and international agencies through proper legal channels within required timeframes
• IT Act Compliance: Full compliance with India's Information Technology Act, 2000 and IT (Amendment) Act, 2008 regarding CSAM obligations
• DPDP Act Compliance: Compliant with India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023
• POCSO Act: Strict adherence to the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act, 2012 mandates

Drifty has a designated child safety officer who is trained and prepared to discuss our CSAM prevention practices, respond to law enforcement inquiries, and address compliance questions.

Drifty was built for meaningful adult connections. The safety of children is not a compliance checkbox for us — it is a fundamental value that is embedded into every layer of our product, technology, and team culture.

We continuously invest in improving our detection capabilities, expand our partnerships with child safety organizations, and update our policies as threats evolve. We believe that every platform that allows human connection has a moral and legal responsibility to ensure that connection cannot be weaponized against children.

If you have questions, concerns, or suggestions about our child safety practices, we encourage you to reach out. We are committed to transparency and continuous improvement in this area.
