Child Safety Standards

Last updated: 25 May 2026

Bluumme ("we", "us") is a camera-only social application operated by Emir Atay, Düsseldorf, Germany. We are unconditionally committed to the safety of minors on our platform and maintain a zero-tolerance policy for child sexual abuse and exploitation (CSAE) in any form.

1. Prohibited content and conduct

The following are strictly forbidden on Bluumme and will result in immediate account termination and referral to authorities:

• Any content that sexually depicts, exploits, or endangers a minor (CSAM).
• Grooming, solicitation, or any attempt to exploit a child.
• Sharing, distributing, or requesting child sexual abuse material.
• Any conduct that sexualises minors — including fictional, illustrated, or AI-generated depictions.

These prohibitions are stated in our Content Moderation Policy and our Terms of Service and are enforced from the moment of account creation.

2. Prevention measures

2.1 Design-level safeguards

• Camera-only posting — all posts must be captured live inside the app. Gallery uploads are blocked, reducing the risk of pre-produced abusive material being shared.
• No filters or editing — content cannot be digitally altered after capture, which limits the creation of manipulated material.
• Age-appropriate design — Bluumme does not permit users under 13 to register. Users aged 13–17 are subject to additional content visibility defaults (Friends-only by default).

2.2 Automated pre-publication filtering

• A profanity and slur filter runs on every caption and username before publication, blocking universally recognised sexual slurs and child-harm-related terms.
• Uploads are validated for recency (EXIF timestamp must be within five minutes of posting), preventing re-upload of stored material.

2.3 Human moderation

• Every report is reviewed by a human operator within 24 hours.
• Reports categorised as "nudity or sexual content" or "harm to a minor" are flagged as high-priority and reviewed immediately.
• An internal alert triggers on every new report so the operator is notified in real time.

2.4 Reporting pipeline — CSAM

If content that appears to depict child sexual abuse is identified — whether via user report, proactive review, or any other means — we follow this pipeline without exception:

1. Immediate removal of the content and suspension of the account.
2. Report to NCMEC (National Center for Missing & Exploited Children) CyberTipline at cybertipline.org as required under 18 U.S.C. § 2258A.
3. Referral to German authorities — Bundeskriminalamt (BKA) Internet Crime Complaint and, where applicable, the local public prosecutor's office under §§ 184b, 184c StGB.
4. Preservation of evidence for law enforcement in accordance with applicable data retention obligations.

3. User reporting tools

Every user can report any post or profile directly inside the app:

• Report a post — three-dot menu → "Report Post" → select a category (includes "Nudity or sexual content" and "Harm to a minor").
• Report a user — three-dot menu on profile → "Report User".
• Block a user — immediately prevents all interaction and content visibility in both directions.
• Email — users may also report directly to hello@bluumme.com with subject line "Child Safety Report". These are treated as highest priority.

4. Compliance

Bluumme complies with:

• German law — §§ 184b, 184c StGB (child pornography and child sexual abuse material).
• EU Digital Services Act (DSA) — reporting and transparency obligations.
• Google Play Child Safety Policy — as a condition of distribution on the Google Play platform.
• Apple App Store Guidelines §1.1 — as a condition of distribution on the Apple App Store.
