Child Safety Standards

These Child Safety Standards apply to Cooking Class (also referred to as COOKING CLASS), the dating and social platform operated by Tiny Clan Africa. They describe our policies and practices against child sexual abuse and exploitation (CSAE), including child sexual abuse material (CSAM).

Cooking Class is strictly for adults aged 18 and over. Age-gating does not reduce our obligation to prevent, detect, remove, and report CSAE/CSAM when we become aware of it.

CSAE means child sexual abuse and exploitation, including content or behavior that sexually exploits, abuses, or endangers children. Examples include grooming a child for sexual exploitation, sextorting a child, trafficking a child for sex, or otherwise sexually exploiting a child.

CSAM means child sexual abuse material: any visual depiction (including photos, videos, and computer-generated imagery) involving a minor engaged in sexually explicit conduct. CSAM is illegal and strictly prohibited on Cooking Class.

Cooking Class prohibits all CSAE and CSAM. Users may not create, upload, share, solicit, store, or distribute such content, or engage in related conduct, including grooming, exploitation, or attempts to involve minors.

We use a combination of product controls, moderation, and user tools to reduce risk:

Users can report child safety concerns without leaving the app. Use Report on a profile (or related in-app report flows) and choose a child safety / underage reason when available, or describe the concern in the report details. Users may also block the other person.

Reports are reviewed by our moderation team. Serious child safety reports are prioritized. If a child is in immediate danger, contact local emergency services first, then report in-app and/or email our child safety contact below.

When we obtain actual knowledge of CSAM or CSAE on Cooking Class, we take appropriate action consistent with these standards and applicable law, which may include:

Cooking Class complies with applicable child safety laws in the jurisdictions where we operate, including obligations to remove CSAM when we have actual knowledge of it and to report to authorities where required. These standards are informed by industry guidance such as the Tech Coalition child safety standards.

For inquiries about our CSAE/CSAM prevention practices, compliance with these standards, or to report a child safety concern outside the app, contact:

Designated child safety contact: info@tinyclanafrica.com. For general support, email support@cookingclass.com.

We may update these Child Safety Standards from time to time. The effective date at the top of this page reflects the current version. Continued use of Cooking Class after updates constitutes acceptance of the revised standards where permitted by law.
