Fingermedia is deeply committed to safeguarding children online and strictly adheres to the robust legal frameworks and industry best practices established to combat Child Sexual Abuse and Exploitation (CSAE). Our commitment is woven into the fabric of our operations, reflecting the highest standards of child protection.

In line with international and national mandates, Fingermedia specifically follows:

• The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC): We uphold Article 34 by actively protecting children from all forms of sexual exploitation and abuse. Our services are developed in alignment with UNCRC General Comment No. 25, integrating "child rights by design," "safety-by-design," and "privacy-by-design" principles from the outset to ensure a secure digital environment for young users.

• The Council of Europe Convention on the Protection of Children against Sexual Exploitation and Sexual Abuse (Lanzarote Convention): Fingermedia implements measures consistent with this convention, focusing on preventing exploitation, protecting victims, and fostering international cooperation with law enforcement.

• Applicable Domestic Laws: We rigorously comply with all relevant national laws in the jurisdictions where we operate, including those criminalizing Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM), child grooming, online solicitation of minors, and child trafficking for sexual exploitation. This includes strict adherence to data protection laws and emerging child online safety legislation.

Our operational adherence to these standards is demonstrated through:

• Zero-Tolerance Policy: A clear, published, and strictly enforced policy against all forms of CSAE.

• Proactive Detection & Moderation: Utilizing advanced AI/ML tools (including hash-matching for known CSAM) and a dedicated team of highly trained human moderators for proactive identification and swift removal of harmful content.

• Robust Reporting: Providing accessible and user-friendly in-app reporting tools, alongside external channels, ensuring rapid review and immediate reporting of confirmed incidents to relevant law enforcement agencies and clearinghouses (e.g., NCMEC, INHOPE).

• Age Assurance: Implementing appropriate age assurance mechanisms to ensure children access only age-suitable content and features, and to prevent predatory adults from misrepresenting their age.

• Collaboration: Actively partnering with law enforcement, child protection organizations (like WePROTECT Global Alliance), and industry bodies to share intelligence, improve practices, and contribute to global efforts against CSAE.

• Staff Training & Vetting: All relevant staff undergo thorough background checks and continuous, specialized training on child safety, grooming indicators, and evidence preservation.

• Transparency & Accountability: We are committed to transparency in our child safety efforts and, where appropriate, will provide insights into our content moderation practices and collaboration with authorities.

Fingermedia continuously reviews and updates its policies and technologies to stay ahead of evolving threats, ensuring our platform remains a safe and empowering space for all users.
