Child Safety Standards Policy

Introduction

At Alt Opti Media Private Limited, the safety and well-being of all users of the Hooked App, particularly children, are of utmost importance. This Child Safety Standards Policy outlines our commitment to creating a secure and respectful environment that protects minors from harm, exploitation, and inappropriate interactions.

Scope

This policy applies to all users, content, and interactions on the Hooked App platform. It is designed to comply with local and international child safety laws, including the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR-K).

Key Principles

• Age Verification:
  • Only individuals aged 18 and above are permitted to create accounts on the Hooked App.
  • Robust age verification mechanisms (e.g., government ID verification, AI-powered age estimation) are implemented to ensure compliance.
• Data Privacy and Protection:
  • Personal information of users, especially minors, is handled with the highest level of security.
  • Collection of data from minors is strictly prohibited.
  • Parental consent is required in case of inadvertent interactions with minors (e.g., under family accounts).
• Content Moderation:
  • All content, including text, images, and videos, is reviewed using AI tools and human moderators to detect and remove inappropriate material.
  • Prohibited content includes nudity, sexual material, harassment, and violence involving minors.
• User Reporting Mechanisms:
  • A clear, user-friendly reporting system allows users to flag any content or interactions that may harm or exploit minors.
  • Reports are prioritized and addressed by a dedicated child safety team.
• Behavioral Guidelines for Users:
  • Users are prohibited from sharing personal information, initiating inappropriate conversations, or engaging in predatory behavior.
  • Violators face immediate suspension or permanent account bans, and incidents are reported to relevant authorities.
• Parental Controls:
  • Parents/guardians can access optional settings to monitor interactions and block specific content types.
  • These controls include usage time limits, contact permissions, and activity summaries.

Implementation Measures

• Employee Training: All team members involved in the operation of the Hooked App undergo child safety training to recognize and address potential risks.
• Proactive Monitoring: AI-driven tools actively monitor the platform for patterns indicating child exploitation or inappropriate behavior, with real-time interventions conducted to halt harmful interactions.
• Partnership with Authorities: Alt Opti Media Private Limited collaborates with child protection agencies, law enforcement, and online safety organizations to address any breaches swiftly.
• Transparency and Updates: Regular updates on safety measures and practices are communicated to users via the app and official platforms.

Reporting and Accountability

Users can report concerns via the app's "Report Abuse" button or by contacting altoptihooked@gmail.com. The child safety team investigates reports within 24 hours and takes appropriate actions, including notifying authorities if required.
