Child Safety Standards
Last updated November 4, 2026
OurSparks is for adults 18 and older. We have zero tolerance for child sexual abuse and exploitation (CSAE), including child sexual abuse material (CSAM). We remove it immediately, ban the accounts involved, preserve evidence as the law requires, and report it to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) and the authorities.
Our standards
- Adults only. Everyone confirms their birthday when they sign up, and must be 18 or older. Accounts we find belong to someone under 18 are closed.
- Prohibited, everywhere in OurSparks: any content that sexualizes, exploits or endangers children; grooming or sexual contact with minors; sextortion; sharing, requesting or linking to CSAM; and any content showing or promoting child abuse.
- Intimate content in OurSparks is limited to private couple spaces, only when both partners are 18 or older and both choose it. It's never allowed in the Couples feed.
How we prevent and detect it
- Age requirement at sign-up, and intimate features locked unless both partners are verified as adults by birthday.
- Images posted to the Couples feed are screened automatically when they're posted.
- Easy reporting on every post and comment, and urgent review of child safety reports.
- Our team reviews reports, and removes content and bans accounts immediately when a violation is confirmed.
Reporting
In the app, use the ⋯ menu on a post, or press and hold a comment, and choose Report. You can also email support@oursparks.app with "Child safety" in the subject. If a child is in immediate danger, contact your local emergency number first.
You can also report directly to NCMEC's CyberTipline at report.cybertip.org or 1-800-843-5678.
Compliance
We comply with applicable child safety laws, including reporting obligations under 18 U.S.C. § 2258A, and cooperate with law enforcement. We publish these standards as required by Google Play's Child Safety Standards policy.
