Child Safety Standards

Last updated: July 10, 2026

EliteSweet has zero tolerance for child sexual abuse and exploitation (CSAE). EliteSweet is a dating service for adults aged 18 and over. Minors are not permitted on the Service under any circumstance, and any content or conduct that sexualizes a child is grounds for immediate, permanent removal and referral to law enforcement.

These are our published child safety standards. They apply to everyone who uses EliteSweet, everywhere we operate, and to every part of the Service — profiles, photos, messages, and any other content.

1. What we prohibit

The following are strictly prohibited on EliteSweet. This list is illustrative, not exhaustive.

  • Child sexual abuse material (CSAM) — creating, uploading, storing, sharing, requesting, or linking to any visual depiction of sexually explicit conduct involving a person under 18.
  • Sexualization of minors — any content that sexualizes a person under 18, whether real, fictional, illustrated, animated, or computer-generated, including AI-generated imagery.
  • Grooming — building a relationship with a minor to enable sexual abuse or exploitation, online or offline.
  • Sextortion — threatening to expose intimate imagery to coerce a minor.
  • Child trafficking — advertising, soliciting, or facilitating the trafficking or commercial sexual exploitation of a minor.
  • Minor access — anyone under 18 creating or using an account, or an adult helping them do so.
  • Off-platform conduct — using EliteSweet to direct anyone to CSAE material or activity elsewhere.

Stated intent is irrelevant. Claiming that content is satirical, artistic, educational, or “for reporting purposes” does not exempt it from this policy.

2. How we prevent minors from using EliteSweet

  • Age gate at sign-up. Every account requires a date of birth. Anyone who enters an age under 18 is blocked from registering, and we take measures to prevent immediate re-entry with a different date.
  • Identity verification. Members are asked to verify they are a real adult person, which may include a selfie check or government-issued ID. Verification signals are used to detect underage accounts.
  • 18+ store rating. EliteSweet is rated and distributed for adults only.
  • Ongoing detection. We use automated signals and human review to identify accounts that appear to belong to a minor, including age-estimation review of profile imagery and reports from other members.

If we determine an account belongs to a minor, we terminate it, delete the associated data as the law permits, and preserve and report any material that must be reported.

3. How we detect and remove CSAE content

  • Proactive scanning. Images uploaded to EliteSweetare scanned using industry-standard hash-matching technology (such as PhotoDNA) against known CSAM hash sets, including those maintained by the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC).
  • Classifiers. We use automated image and text classifiers to surface previously unknown CSAE content and grooming behavior for human review.
  • Trained human review.A trained trust & safety team reviews escalations. Confirmed CSAE is removed immediately.
  • Account action. Accounts involved in CSAE are banned permanently, their devices and identifiers are blocked from returning, and evidence is preserved as required by law.

4. Reporting — in the app and to us

Every profile, photo, and conversation on EliteSweet can be reported from inside the app. Open the profile or message, tap the menu, and choose Report. Select the child-safety category to route the report directly to our trust & safety team. You can also block any member from the same menu. In-app reports are prioritized and reviewed by a human.

You can also reach our child safety team directly at childsafety@elitesweetmeet.com. This inbox is monitored. Please do not attach suspected CSAM to an email — report the account or content in the app and describe it in words, so that we handle the material lawfully.

If a child is in immediate danger, contact your local emergency services first.

5. Reporting to authorities

When we identify apparent CSAM or CSAE, we report it to the NCMEC CyberTipline as required by U.S. law (18 U.S.C. § 2258A), and to other competent authorities where local law requires. We preserve related account records and cooperate with lawful requests from law enforcement in the investigation and prosecution of offenders.

Anyone can report suspected child exploitation to NCMEC directly at report.cybertip.org or, in the United States, by calling 1-800-843-5678. Outside the U.S., contact your national hotline via INHOPE.

6. Compliance with child safety laws

We comply with applicable child safety laws in the markets we serve, including U.S. federal reporting obligations under 18 U.S.C. § 2258A, the EU Digital Services Act, and the UK Online Safety Act. We review these standards at least annually and whenever the law or our product changes.

7. Our child safety point of contact
