Child Safety Standards

Operator: Foo AI Corp. · Effective: 2026-11-04 · Contact: support@fadetalk.app

1. Our Standard

FadeTalk has zero tolerance for child sexual abuse and exploitation. The following are prohibited without exception, whether the content is real, edited, or generated:

• Child sexual abuse material (CSAM) and any sexualized depiction of a minor, including drawn, edited, or AI-generated material.
• Grooming — building a relationship with a minor for sexual purposes — and any sexual solicitation of a minor.
• Sextortion, and the threatened or actual sharing of a minor’s intimate images.
• Trafficking of minors, and the advertising, solicitation, or arrangement of sexual contact with a minor.
• Using FadeTalk to direct anyone to CSAE material or contact elsewhere.

Violation results in immediate removal of the content and termination of access — a first offence is enough — and is reported to the competent authorities. The same standard applies to text an AI feature proposed: our AI only drafts text that a person chooses to send, and the sender is responsible for it.

2. What FadeTalk Is — and What It Deliberately Is Not

Most of the risk a messaging product carries to minors comes from strangers being brought to them. FadeTalk does not search for, suggest or match people, and this is a product decision we intend to keep. The one place where people who do not already know each other share a conversation is a place room, and it is bounded as described below:

• Conversations are 1:1, except place rooms. There is no public feed, no comment section, no livestreaming, and no public posting of any kind.
• There is no discovery, no recommendation, and no random matching. We never suggest one user to another. A 1:1 conversation begins because an account holder shared their ID code or a link they created, or because one member of a place room asked another for a private chat (below).
• Profiles are minimal — a display name, an optional photo, and a code. There is no browsable directory and no search by name. A place room’s member list is visible only to that room’s members.
• There are no ads and no behavioural profiling, so no system in FadeTalk has any reason to put a minor in front of an adult.
• A guest joining a one-to-one conversation link reaches only the person who created that link, for that one conversation, and the link owner can decline, block, or destroy the link at any time.
• Place rooms are group rooms a host opens for an event or a venue, for a set time, holding up to 2,000 members. They are never listed or searchable: entry takes a 6-digit code or QR code that changes every 30 seconds, or the room’s link, and joining by link always needs the host’s approval. The host decides whether members may start private 1:1 chats — not at all; by request, where the other member must accept before anything opens; or directly. A host with a Korean account cannot choose “directly”, and a member with a Korean account always goes through a request. Anyone can turn off Allow friend requests to refuse them. The host who opened the room can mark other members as hosts and take that back, and only that host can close the room. Hosts, including members marked as hosts, can remove a member, and a removal holds for the life of the room.

A host controls browser guest admission to a place room. Guests can enter and read without installing the app or creating an account, subject to admission and moderation. Sending requires account conversion and phone verification if the host account region is Korea or unknown; only a confirmed non-Korean host region permits guest sending without verification. The server uses the host account region, not a visitor-supplied region or an IP-based guess. They confirm they are 14 or older before entry, appear as guests to other participants, and can report messages and leave without creating an account. Hosts, including members marked as hosts, can decline admission, remove a guest or block the session. Guests cannot start private chats with other participants or be marked as hosts. A reported guest remains subject to our safety review even after leaving.

3. Age

• FadeTalk is for people aged 14 or older. We do not knowingly permit anyone under 14 to use it, as an account holder or otherwise.
• Age is confirmed at sign-up, and again by anyone joining through a link. It is self-declared: we do not verify identity documents today, and we would rather say so than imply a check we do not run.
• If we determine that an account belongs to someone under 14 — from a report, from the account’s own content, or from any other signal — we delete the account.
• A parent or guardian who believes their child holds an account may write to support@fadetalk.app and ask for it to be removed.

4. Reporting, Inside the App

• Report is available on a message and on a person, from the conversation — and, for someone you have already blocked, from Settings → Blocked users. You choose one of four reasons — Harassment/threats, Sexual pressure, Spam/scam or Other — and when you choose Other, a box opens for a description in your own words. For anything involving a minor, choose Other and say so in the description. Every reason reaches the same review queue.
• Block ends contact immediately and does not wait for us, and it works in both directions: a one-to-one conversation closes for both people, whoever blocked, and in a place room the two stop seeing each other’s messages and member rows. Blocking does not withdraw a report already filed, so if you mean to report someone, report first and then block. If you have already blocked them, report them from Settings → Blocked users; that report carries their recent messages from before the block. If someone blocks you before you have reported them, the conversation is no longer there to report from; write to support@fadetalk.app with your ID code, their ID code or display name, and roughly when it happened, and we handle it as a report. A timed conversation’s messages are deleted when it expires, so write as soon as you can.
• Filing a report freezes an evidence snapshot at that moment — the relevant messages and the reported person’s profile photo — so the evidence survives the reported person deleting it, and survives the expiry of a timed conversation.
• A guest who joined through a link can report without creating an account, and can leave the conversation at any time.
• In a place room, a report reaches us exactly as above and also appears in the host’s review queue, without the reporter’s name, so the host can remove the person at once.
• Anyone, user or not, can write to support@fadetalk.app. We act on reports from people who are not users, including parents and guardians.

5. How We Respond

• Every report gets a first review and action within 24 hours of receipt, and we remove violating content and eject the person responsible.
• A CSAE report is acted on immediately, ahead of that queue. We suspend the account — which removes its messages and its profile photo from view at once — remove the content, and preserve the evidence.
• We report to the competent authorities without delay. In the Republic of Korea, reporting child and youth sexual exploitation material is a legal duty, not a discretionary step.
• Evidence in an escalated case is held under legal hold: it is excluded from the routine anonymization that otherwise applies after one year, so it remains available to an investigation.
• We respond to lawful requests from law enforcement, and we require lawful process before disclosing user data. See the Privacy Policy.
• An account terminated for CSAE is not reinstated on appeal. Our general appeal route is in the Terms of Service.

6. The Limits of What We Do

Naming these is part of the standard, not an exception to it. A page that implied controls we do not run would be the more dangerous document.

• We run no hash-matching and no CSAE detection. One-to-one conversations are not screened automatically. In place rooms only, messages from members who have turned on AI features are screened — by an AI model, or by built-in rules when no model is available — for messages that single out a specific person to mock, expose, threaten, sexualize or harass them; a flagged message goes to that room’s host, who decides, and nothing is deleted automatically. That screening is not designed to detect CSAE, and messages from members who have not turned on AI features are not screened at all. Detection is therefore report-driven, which is why the Report path above is the one that matters and why we commit to a response time rather than to detection.
• Age is self-declared (Section 3). We do not verify identity documents.
• Message expiry does not shield a report. Messages in a timed conversation are deleted when they expire, but a report freezes its evidence at the moment it is filed, so a conversation that has since expired can still be reviewed and acted on.
• We cannot prevent someone photographing a screen with another device, and we do not claim to.

7. Designated Contact

• CSAE point of contact: support@fadetalk.app
• Responsible person: JEEHO SONG, Chief Executive Officer, Foo AI Corp.
• Company: Foo AI Corp. · Business registration 284-81-02702 · 359 Gangnam-daero, Seocho-gu, Seoul, Republic of Korea

We do not operate a customer service phone line; this address is monitored and is the route for users, parents and guardians, platform operators including Google, and law enforcement.

8. Keeping This Page True

These standards are published at fadetalk.app/child-safety. We review them at least once a year and whenever the product changes in a way that affects them — in particular, if a way for people to reach each other is added, this page is part of that release, not a follow-up to it.
