Commitment

1. Protecting minors is a non-negotiable rule on Uniform

Zero tolerance

Uniform maintains a zero-tolerance policy for child sexual abuse and exploitation in any form. Content or conduct that exploits, sexualizes, abuses, or endangers minors is prohibited.

Prohibited Content and Conduct

2. The following content and behavior are strictly forbidden

  • Child sexual abuse material or links to such material.
  • Grooming, solicitation, or luring of minors.
  • Sextortion, trafficking, or coercion involving minors.
  • Requests for, promotion of, or instructions for child exploitation.
  • Any content that sexualizes, objectifies, or endangers children.
  • Attempts to use Uniform to facilitate child sexual abuse or exploitation.

Protecting 16-17 Users

3. Uniform applies additional safeguards to accounts that are verified as ages 16-17

Communication limits

  • Direct messaging is disabled for verified 16-17 accounts.
  • Community posting, comments, and community media can remain available.
  • Reports involving those accounts are treated with higher urgency.

Privacy-preserving age checks

Uniform uses a submitted date of birth only to verify age eligibility or complete a required re-check. We do not retain the date of birth after the check.

We store only the derived age-safety state needed to apply these protections, such as age band, whether minor protections are enabled, and verification timestamps.

Safety Model

4. Uniform uses a metadata-first safety model in an encrypted product

How review works

Uniform is built around encrypted posting and messaging, so moderation is based on reports, account state, moderation metadata, and protected admin workflows rather than routine plaintext inspection of user content.

Audit and response

Safety actions may include suppression, account restrictions, evidence preservation, and audit logging. Where legally required, we may preserve and disclose available records.

Reporting and Enforcement

5. We encourage prompt reporting and act quickly on credible safety concerns

Users can report posts, comments, and direct messages in app. They can also block accounts and use feedback channels to raise safety concerns.

  • Reporter identities are kept confidential from the reported account.
  • Reports involving verified 16-17 accounts are prioritized in moderation review.
  • Duplicate reports may be tracked to help prioritize urgent cases.
  • Severe CSAE violations may result in immediate permanent removal.
  • Not every enforcement decision will be eligible for appeal.

Law Enforcement

6. Uniform cooperates with lawful child-safety investigations

  • Discovered CSAM may be reported to NCMEC or other appropriate authorities.
  • We may preserve relevant evidence and account records as required by law.
  • We cooperate with valid legal requests related to child safety.
  • We may take immediate protective action while investigations are ongoing.

Contact and Emergencies

7. Use the support inbox for urgent child-safety concerns

Emergency situations

If a child faces imminent danger, contact local law enforcement or emergency services immediately. Do not wait for an email response from Uniform.
