At Fave, the safety of our users is our highest priority. We are firmly committed to preventing child sexual abuse material (CSAM) across every part of our platform. CSAM is illegal, deeply harmful, and strictly prohibited on Fave. We do not tolerate the use of our services to create, store, or distribute any form of CSAM.

Our Approach to Prevention and Enforcement

Fave is designed to help fans connect, create, and engage—but always with safety as a foundational principle. We’ve built our systems to prevent and respond to CSAM across both our consumer-facing platform and any tools we provide to businesses or creators.

We take a layered and proactive approach, which includes:

Automated Detection Tools: We use technology such as hash-matching and content filters to detect known CSAM in images, videos, and text before content goes live.
Human Moderation: Our trained safety team reviews flagged content and responds to potential violations quickly and consistently.
User Reporting: Users can report any harmful, illegal, or inappropriate content directly through the platform. Every report is reviewed by our Trust & Safety team.

Working with Global Experts

We collaborate with leading child protection organizations, including:

The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) in the U.S.
The Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) internationally

When we identify confirmed CSAM or receive credible reports, we act swiftly to remove the content, disable offending accounts, and escalate the matter to NCMEC and law enforcement as required by law.

Policy Enforcement at Scale

Our proactive moderation systems—combined with our community’s vigilance—help ensure that Fave remains a low-risk environment for CSAM. We regularly review and improve our tools and processes to keep ahead of emerging threats.

Our internal policies apply consistently across all areas of Fave, including:

Public posts and content feeds
Direct and group messaging
User-submitted images and media
Vibe and profile content
Any commerce or fan engagement tools offered through the platform

Minimum Age Requirement

Fave is intended for users who are 13 years of age or older. We do not permit anyone under 13 to create an account or use our services, in compliance with applicable child protection and privacy laws, including the U.S. Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).

We take this requirement seriously. If we learn that an account has been created by someone under 13, we will promptly delete the account and remove any associated content. In certain cases, we may also report the incident to the appropriate child safety organizations or law enforcement authorities.

We encourage parents and guardians to monitor their children’s online activity and to contact us if they believe their child is using Fave in violation of this policy.

Zero Tolerance. Real Action.

We have a zero-tolerance policy for CSAM. Accounts found to be involved in uploading, sharing, or attempting to access CSAM are immediately suspended, and relevant authorities are notified.

If you come across any material or behavior that you believe violates this policy, please report it immediately using our in-app tools or by contacting our Trust & Safety team directly.
