Pridy is operated by Pridy Inc. These are the standards we publish and enforce to keep child sexual abuse and exploitation (CSAE) off Pridy. They apply to the Pridy app and to pridy.net.
Pridy is for adults. Everyone on Pridy must be 18 or older.
1. We prohibit child sexual abuse and exploitation
Pridy has zero tolerance for child sexual abuse and exploitation (CSAE). The following are strictly prohibited anywhere on the Service — in profiles, photos, prompts, voice notes, pins and private messages:
- Child sexual abuse material (CSAM) — any image, video, audio or text depicting the sexual abuse or sexual exploitation of a minor, whether real, edited, drawn, animated or generated by artificial intelligence.
- Sexualization of minors — any content that sexualizes, eroticizes or presents a person under 18 in a sexual manner.
- Grooming — any attempt by an adult to build a relationship with a minor for sexual purposes, including befriending a minor, offering gifts, money or favours, or asking a minor to keep contact secret.
- Sextortion — threatening to publish a minor's intimate images in order to obtain further images, money, sexual acts or anything else.
- Solicitation of a minor — asking a minor for sexual content, sexual contact or a meeting of any kind.
- Trafficking — advertising, recruiting, arranging or facilitating the sexual exploitation or trafficking of a minor.
- Minors on the Service — creating an account, or helping someone create an account, for a person under 18.
These rules apply regardless of intent, context, framing, claimed fiction, or the age a person claims to be.
2. Age requirement and how we enforce it
Pridy is restricted to people aged 18 and over, or the age of majority where they live if that age is higher.
- Every person must enter their date of birth during sign-up. Accounts that do not meet the age requirement are rejected at sign-up, both in the app and on our servers.
- We may ask a person to verify their age or identity where we have reason to doubt it.
- If we learn that an account belongs to someone under 18, we close it immediately and delete the associated data.
- Our Terms of Use and Community Guidelines state the same requirement and form part of these standards.
3. How we prevent and detect CSAE
- Reporting tools in every surface. Any person can be reported from their profile, from a chat or from one of their pins. Any person can also be blocked; blocking is immediate and works both ways.
- Human moderation. Our moderation team reviews reports. We act on reports of objectionable content, including suspected CSAE, within 24 hours, and prioritise suspected CSAE above all other reports.
- Proactive review. Profile photos, prompts and pins are public to everyone on Pridy and are subject to review at any time.
- Account enforcement. We take steps to prevent banned users from returning, including blocking the sign-in methods associated with a removed account.
- Staff training. Everyone with access to moderation tools is instructed on how to recognise and escalate suspected CSAE, and on preserving evidence rather than deleting it.
4. How to report child sexual abuse or exploitation
In the app: open the person's profile, chat or pin and choose Report. Reports are confidential; the reported person is never told who reported them.
By email: write to info@pridy.net with the subject line CHILD SAFETY. Reports sent this way are escalated immediately, ahead of all other correspondence.
Please report rather than engage, and do not forward or save any suspected material.
If a child is in immediate danger, contact your local emergency services first.
In the United States, suspected child sexual exploitation can also be reported directly to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) at CyberTipline.org or 1-800-843-5678.
5. What we do when we find CSAE
When we identify or receive a report of CSAE on Pridy:
- We remove the content and permanently ban the account, without warning and without appeal.
- We preserve the material and related account records as required by law, so that they can be provided to the authorities.
- We report apparent child sexual abuse material to NCMEC, and we cooperate with NCMEC and with law enforcement, including responding to lawful requests.
- Where the person reported appears to be at risk, we provide what information we can to the appropriate authorities.
We do not restore accounts banned for CSAE under any circumstances.
