Child Safety Standards
BestDiveBuddy is built for adults — you must be 18 or older to create an account. We have a zero-tolerance policy toward child sexual abuse and exploitation (CSAE) in any form, and toward any attempt by an adult to use BestDiveBuddy to contact, groom, or exploit a minor.
What we do about it
- Accounts are restricted to users who confirm they are 18 or older at sign-up.
- Every user can report or block another user directly in the app, for any reason, including suspected CSAE.
- We review reports and remove any account or content found to violate this policy, and permanently ban the account.
- Where we become aware of apparent CSAE content or behavior, we cooperate with law enforcement and, where applicable, report it to the relevant national authority or hotline (such as NCMEC in the United States, or the equivalent body in the relevant country).
How to report a concern
If you encounter content or behavior on BestDiveBuddy that concerns you, especially anything involving a minor, please:
- Use the in-app Report option on the user's profile or chat, or
- Email our Trust & Safety contact directly at support@bestdivebuddy.com — please include as much detail as you can (usernames, screenshots, dates).
We treat every report of this kind as urgent.
Our commitment
This standard applies across the entire BestDiveBuddy platform — profiles, chat messages, and any other user-generated content. It's enforced regardless of how a violation is discovered, and independently of our other content-moderation processes described in our Terms of Service.
