Child Safety Standards

Plum App, Inc. · Effective date: November 2026

Kettle has zero tolerance for child sexual abuse and exploitation (CSAE) and for child sexual abuse material (CSAM). These standards describe how we prevent, detect, report, and act on any child safety concern connected to our service.

An Adults-Only Service

Kettle is a dating service exclusively for adults aged 18 and over. We do not permit minors to create accounts. Users must confirm their age during signup, our systems validate minimum age, and every member completes camera-based selfie verification designed to confirm they are a real person. Accounts found or reasonably suspected to belong to minors are removed.

Prohibited Conduct and Content

The following are strictly prohibited on Kettle and result in immediate account termination and, where appropriate, reports to authorities:

• Child sexual abuse material (CSAM) of any kind, in any form.
• Any sexualization of minors, including text, imagery, or role-play.
• Grooming, solicitation, or any attempt to contact, exploit, or endanger a minor.
• Misrepresenting one's age to access the service or to target minors.

Prevention and Moderation

• All user photos are screened by automated moderation before appearing on profiles.
• User-to-user messages pass through automated safety moderation.
• Identity verification (selfie check) is required, deterring fake and underage accounts.
• Violating content is blocked from publication and violating accounts are actioned, up to permanent removal.

Reporting a Concern

Anyone — whether or not they are a Kettle user — can report a child safety concern to us:

• In the app: use the report function to flag a user, profile, or conversation ("Child safety concern" is a dedicated report category).
• By email: contact hello@kettle.dating with the subject line "Child safety report." Reports are prioritized and reviewed promptly.

Response and Reporting to Authorities

When we identify or are made aware of apparent CSAM or child sexual exploitation, we act immediately: the content is preserved as required by law and removed from the service, the associated account is terminated, and we report to the appropriate authorities — including the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) in the United States — and cooperate with law enforcement, in accordance with applicable law, including 18 U.S.C. § 2258A.

Law Enforcement

Law enforcement agencies may direct legal process and urgent child-safety requests to brent@theplumapp.com, and we will respond promptly in accordance with applicable law.

Resources for Victims and Reporting

• Report child sexual exploitation directly to NCMEC's CyberTipline: report.cybertip.org
• Minors (or adults photographed as minors) can ask to have intimate images removed from the internet through NCMEC's Take It Down service: takeitdown.ncmec.org
• If a child is in immediate danger, contact local law enforcement (911 in the United States).

Compliance

Plum App, Inc. complies with applicable child safety laws in the jurisdictions where we operate. We review these standards and our practices regularly and update them as our service and legal obligations evolve.
