Child Safety Standards
LEVIATHAN, an app developed by Conecta al Campo, is exclusively for people aged 18 or over. We have zero tolerance for child sexual abuse and exploitation (CSAE) and child sexual abuse material (CSAM). These are our standards.
What is prohibited
- A person under 18 creating or using an account.
- Any content that shows, sexualizes or exploits minors, whether real, drawn or generated with artificial intelligence.
- Contacting, deceiving or trying to meet a minor (grooming), or requesting or exchanging material involving minors.
- Using the service for the trafficking or exploitation of any person.
How we prevent it
- Adults 18+ only: we ask for the date of birth at sign-up and the app is rated adults-only in the stores. If someone states that they are a minor, we permanently block the account together with an encrypted fingerprint of their email, phone and device, so they cannot sign up again; changing the date later does not unblock it.
- Images are screened before they are shown: profile photos and images in chats and groups go through an automated image analysis service before other people can see them. If it detects nudity, the image is shown blurred; if the analysis cannot be completed, the image is treated as sensitive content and shown blurred, instead of being published as checked.
- Matching against known material: LEVIATHAN will compare every profile photo and every vault, chat and group image, before storing it, against hash databases of known child sexual abuse material, such as Microsoft PhotoDNA. On a match we will reject the image without storing it, keep only the record needed for the report, and report it as described below.
- Critical-priority reports: reports of a minor, child exploitation or human trafficking enter the moderation queue with critical priority, the highest, and no one on the team can lower it. A person reviews them.
- Blocking and removal: any user can block another at any time, and we remove content that breaks this policy.
- We may ask for age or identity verification, and suspend the account until it is completed.
How to report
Inside the app, use Report on the profile, the chat or the call and choose the minor or child exploitation category. Outside the app, use the child safety form or email support@meetleviathan.com with the subject “CHILD SAFETY”. Do not attach images of minors: describe where the content is (profile, link or display name). If a child is in immediate danger, call your country’s emergency services.
What we do when we become aware
- When we become aware of it, we remove the content and suspend the account.
- We keep the evidence securely and with restricted access, only to hand it over to the authorities.
- We report the child sexual abuse material, grooming of minors and child trafficking we become aware of to the competent authorities. For users in the United States, we will report them to the CyberTipline of the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) and will keep the report for 1 year; in Canada, to the Canadian Centre for Child Protection (Cybertip.ca) and to the police.
- We permanently ban the accounts involved and prevent them from signing up again.
- We cooperate with the authorities’ investigations in accordance with the law.
Compliance with the law
We comply with the child protection laws of every country in the Americas where LEVIATHAN is available, including:
- Mexico: Federal Criminal Code, General Law to Prevent, Punish and Eradicate Crimes of Trafficking in Persons, and General Law on the Rights of Children and Adolescents.
- United States: the duty to report to NCMEC and to preserve the report (18 U.S.C. §2258A, as amended by the REPORT Act).
- Canada: the Act respecting the mandatory reporting of Internet child pornography (S.C. 2011, c. 4) and the Criminal Code.
- Brazil: Statute of Children and Adolescents (Law 8.069/1990).
- All other countries: the criminal codes and child protection laws of Colombia, Chile, Argentina, Peru, Panama and the rest of Central America, South America and the Caribbean.
We also follow Google Play’s Child Safety Standards policy, the App Store rules, and we use the standards of the Tech Coalition as a reference.
