Child Safety and CSAE Policy

BeyondSwipe, operated by 15748666 Canada Inc., has zero tolerance for child sexual abuse material (CSAM) and child sexual abuse and exploitation (CSAE) in any form. There is no context in which such content or conduct is acceptable on our platform.

BeyondSwipe is strictly for adults aged 18 and over. Every member must complete identity verification through Stripe Identity before their profile is published, which requires a government issued photo ID and a live selfie that must match the document. The date of birth on the document is checked during verification, and verification is refused when the document indicates the person is under 18 or when a date of birth cannot be read from it. No person under 18 is permitted on BeyondSwipe under any circumstances.

Every image uploaded to BeyondSwipe is screened by automated content moderation (AWS Rekognition) on our servers before it can be published. Screening is enforced server side: images are stored and published only by our systems, only after screening has run, and if screening cannot run, nothing is published. Content that fails screening is blocked before any other member can see it, and rejections are logged for review.

Every uploaded image is also matched against industry hash databases of known CSAM using Microsoft PhotoDNA, before it is stored. This runs on our servers and only a PhotoDNA hash is sent to Microsoft: the hash cannot be reversed into an image, so no photograph of any member is transmitted. A match means the image is refused and never published, the account is permanently banned, the material is preserved for law enforcement, and our safety team is alerted to file a report with Cybertip.ca. If either screening system cannot be reached, the upload is refused rather than published unchecked.

Messaging is also protected: members can report any individual message, profile, or conversation from inside the app, and reported content is preserved for moderator review even if the sender deletes it.

BeyondSwipe is operated by a Canadian corporation, so our reporting obligations run under the Act respecting the mandatory reporting of Internet child pornography by persons who provide an Internet service. We report apparent CSAM to the Canadian Centre for Child Protection through Cybertip.ca, the agency designated under that Act, and we notify police where we have reasonable grounds to believe our service has been used to commit an offence. Material associated with a report is preserved for law enforcement.

We cooperate fully with law enforcement investigations, in Canada and in the jurisdictions where our members live.

Any member can report a profile, a conversation, or an individual message directly in the app. The report categories include a dedicated CSAM option. CSAM reports are escalated immediately, ahead of all other report types, and trigger an alert to our safety team.

All reports are reviewed within 24 hours. Accounts associated with confirmed CSAM are permanently banned, the content is preserved for reporting to Cybertip.ca, and it is never restored.

Our designated child safety contact is safety@beyondswipe.app.

This contact is monitored and available to law enforcement, the Canadian Centre for Child Protection, and any person reporting a child safety concern. You do not need a BeyondSwipe account to write to it.

• Mandatory identity verification for every member, before their profile is visible to anyone, ensures accountability. There are no anonymous or unverified profiles.
• Age is enforced from the government document during verification, not from what a person types.
• All published images pass server enforced screening that fails closed.
• Reported content is retained for moderator review and cannot be erased by the sender.
• We review and update our detection technology and this policy as capabilities and legal requirements evolve.

If you encounter any content or behaviour on BeyondSwipe involving a minor, report it immediately using the in-app report option or by emailing safety@beyondswipe.app. You can also report directly to the authorities yourself: in the United States through NCMEC at CyberTipline.org, and in Canada through Cybertip.ca. Knowingly failing to report CSAM may itself be a criminal offence in many jurisdictions.
