Child safety & CSAE standards

Last updated: April 11, 2026

1. Purpose of this page

Lubdub ("we," "our," or "us") operates a dating service for adults. This page sets out our policy and practices regarding child sexual abuse and exploitation (CSAE), in line with platform rules, applicable laws, and expectations from app stores and regulators. It explains what CSAE means, our zero-tolerance approach, and how we work to keep children safe from sexual harm on or through our Service.

2. What CSAE means

CSAE refers to child sexual abuse and exploitation. It includes content or behaviour that sexually exploits, abuses, or endangers children (any person under the age of 18). Examples include, without limitation:

  • Grooming a child for sexual exploitation, including building trust or emotional dependency to facilitate abuse offline or online;
  • Sextortion of a child (coercing or blackmailing a minor for sexual images, acts, or silence);
  • Trafficking of a child for sex or sexual exploitation;
  • Any other conduct that sexually exploits a child, including sharing, requesting, or producing child sexual abuse material (CSAM), sexualised depiction of minors, or using our Service to facilitate contact with minors for sexual purposes.

These behaviours are illegal in virtually all jurisdictions and are strictly prohibited on Lubdub and in any communication linked to our brand or events.

3. Our position: zero tolerance

We have zero tolerance for CSAE, CSAM, grooming, sextortion involving minors, human trafficking of children for sex, or any sexual exploitation of minors. There is no context in which such conduct is acceptable on our Service. Violations may result in immediate account termination, permanent bans, preservation of evidence, and referral to law enforcement and other competent authorities where the law requires or permits.

4. Adults only: how we reduce exposure to minors

Lubdub is designed exclusively for people who are 18 years of age or older. We do not market to children and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. Our Privacy Policy describes age limits and how we handle data if we learn a user is underage.

To support this policy in practice, we use measures that may include:

  • Age gating and verification: requiring date of birth and, where we offer it, identity or document checks so that accounts are more likely to represent adults;
  • Registration controls: reviewing sign-up information and documents according to our procedures to detect fraud, impersonation, or inconsistent age claims;
  • Terms and community expectations: clear rules that sexual content or conduct involving minors is forbidden, as is any attempt to use the Service to meet or interact with minors for any sexual or exploitative purpose.

5. Prohibited conduct and content

In addition to CSAE, users must not use Lubdub to:

  • Share, store, solicit, or produce CSAM or sexualised images of minors;
  • Discuss sexual acts involving children or sexualise minors in any form;
  • Arrange or advertise sexual access to minors;
  • Use coded language, links, or third-party platforms to circumvent these rules;
  • Misrepresent age to contact minors or to evade enforcement.

We treat borderline or ambiguous reports seriously and may suspend accounts pending review when child safety is at stake.

6. Detection, review, and enforcement

We work to identify and respond to CSAE risk through:

  • User reports: we encourage users to report suspicious profiles, messages, or behaviour through in-app reporting tools where available, and always through the contact channel below for urgent child-safety matters;
  • Internal review: trained staff or partners review reports and evidence according to written procedures, prioritising cases that indicate imminent harm to a child;
  • Account and content action: removing prohibited content, disabling accounts, blocking devices or identifiers where appropriate, and retaining records as required for safety and legal compliance;
  • Law enforcement and authorities: when the law requires or when we reasonably believe a child is at risk, we cooperate with police, prosecutors, or designated child-protection bodies. We do not tip off users when a report is made to authorities where doing so could endanger a child or obstruct an investigation.

We continuously improve our processes as our product, user base, and legal landscape evolve.

7. What you should do if you see something concerning

If you believe a child is in immediate danger, contact your local emergency number (e.g. police) first.

For concerns related to Lubdub (including suspected grooming, underage use, or CSAE-linked behaviour on or off the app that involves our Service), email us immediately at lubdubdating@gmail.com with the subject line "URGENT: Child safety / CSAE report". Include, where safe to do so: the reported profile name or phone number, screenshots or message IDs, dates and times, and any other detail that helps us act quickly. We will treat your report confidentially to the extent consistent with safety and law.

8. Transparency and updates

We may update this page to reflect changes in law, best practice, or our Service. The "Last updated" date at the top will change when we make material revisions. Continued use of Lubdub after updates means you acknowledge the revised standards where our terms refer to them.
