Pipeir Child Safety Policy

1. Age Restrictions

In line with international regulations, including the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) in the United States and similar laws globally, Pipeir is not intended for children under the age of 13. By accessing and using Pipeir, you confirm that you are at least 13 years old. If you are under 13, you are prohibited from creating an account or using the services provided by Pipeir.

If we learn that a user under the age of 13 has registered for an account, we will take immediate action to remove the account and associated data.

2. Parental Consent and Control

While Pipeir is not intended for children under 13, we acknowledge that some parents may want to allow their children to use the app. To ensure the safety of minors, we encourage parents and guardians to supervise their child’s use of Pipeir and ensure they understand the potential risks associated with online social interaction.

For children under the age of 13, Pipeir offers a Parental Consent mechanism that allows parents or guardians to consent to their child’s use of the platform. This includes setting controls to limit the visibility of content, restrict who can comment, and monitor the child's account activity.

3. Content Moderation and Safety

We recognize that children and young users are more vulnerable to exposure to inappropriate content and interactions. To combat this, we have implemented robust content moderation policies, including:

• Automated and Manual Content Moderation: Our moderation systems use advanced algorithms and a dedicated team of human moderators to monitor all content posted to the platform.
• Reporting Features: Users can easily report any content or behavior they believe is harmful or violates our guidelines.

4. Privacy Protection

At Pipeir, we take the privacy and security of our users, especially children, very seriously. We have implemented strict privacy controls to ensure that children under 13 cannot inadvertently share personal information that could jeopardize their safety.

Data Collection: We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. Any data provided by a child will be deleted immediately upon discovery, and the child's account will be suspended.

Parental Consent for Data Collection: For children under 13, we seek parental consent before collecting or processing any personal information.

5. Safety Features for Minors

To create a safe online environment, Pipeir has integrated various safety features that help protect young users:

• Account Privacy Settings: Users can set their accounts to private, ensuring that only approved followers can see their posts and interact with them.

• Block and Report Options: If a user encounters bullying, harassment, or inappropriate behavior, they can block the offending user and report the issue.
