Child Safety Standards

Disrupt Logic Inc, the developer of Lingo, is committed to keeping children safe on our platform. Lingo is a social slang dictionary that lets users post words, phrases, and definitions, vote on submissions, and follow other users. Because Lingo includes user-generated content and social features, we publish and enforce these Child Safety Standards in line with Google Play's Child Safety Standards policy and applicable law.

This document explains what is prohibited on Lingo, how we prevent and detect abuse, how to report it, and how we respond.

1. Zero tolerance for Child Sexual Abuse and Exploitation (CSAE)

Lingo strictly prohibits any content, conduct, or communication that sexually exploits, endangers, or otherwise harms children. This includes, but is not limited to:

• Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) of any kind, in any form (image, video, text, link, illustration, or AI-generated).
• Sexually explicit, suggestive, or sexualizing content involving minors.
• Grooming behavior — adults attempting to befriend, manipulate, coerce, or desensitize a minor for sexual purposes.
• Sextortion, blackmail, or other coercion targeting minors.
• Child trafficking, child labor exploitation, or any content that promotes, glorifies, normalizes, or facilitates these acts.
• Solicitation of minors for sexual conversation, contact, or material.
• Sharing or linking to off-platform CSAM, related communities, or trading channels.
• Sharing personally identifying information (PII) of minors without consent.

There are no exceptions to this policy. Violations result in immediate account termination, permanent ban, content removal, and reporting to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) and law enforcement where required by law.

2. Age requirements

Lingo is intended for users 13 years of age and older. Users under 13 are not permitted to create an account or use the service. We may require age verification and will terminate accounts we believe to be operated by users under 13.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that a user is under 13, we will delete their account and associated data promptly.

3. How we prevent and detect CSAE

Disrupt Logic uses a layered approach:

• Pre-publication content rules.Lingo's term submission flow strips posted content of pasted clipboard input, blocks newline-based formatting attacks, applies a content filter to reject prohibited words and phrases, and detects attempts to share off-platform contact information.
• User reporting.Every term card and user profile in Lingo exposes a “Report” action that flags the content for human review.
• Blocking.Users can block any other account at any time. Blocked accounts are removed from the reporter's feed, search, and map surfaces.
• Server-side moderation tools. Our backend records reports, supports account suspensions and content takedowns, and lets our team triage flagged content within 24 hours during business days, faster for credible CSAE reports.
• Logging and rate limits. We log suspicious patterns (rapid posting, repeated rule violations, suspicious account creation patterns) and apply automatic rate limits and review queues.
• Cooperation with authorities. We cooperate with law enforcement, NCMEC, and equivalent international bodies on CSAE investigations.

4. How to report CSAE or child safety concerns

If you encounter content or behavior that you believe violates this policy, report it immediately. We accept reports from users, parents, guardians, educators, and the public.

• In-app:Open the term or profile, tap the more (⋮) menu, and select “Report.”
• Email: support@lingoapp.info
• Emergency: If a child is in immediate danger, contact local emergency services first, then report the incident to us so we can preserve evidence.

When reporting, include (where possible) the username, the term or profile in question, the time you saw it, and any relevant context. You can report anonymously, but providing a contact email lets us follow up.

We acknowledge CSAE reports within 24 hours and aim to investigate and act on them within 72 hours. Credible CSAE reports are escalated immediately.

5. Our enforcement actions

Depending on severity, our response may include any combination of:

• Removing the offending content.
• Issuing a warning to the account.
• Temporarily suspending the account.
• Permanently banning the account and the user behind it.
• Preserving evidence for law enforcement.
• Reporting to NCMEC's CyberTipline (in the United States) and equivalent bodies internationally, as required by law.
• Notifying applicable authorities under Lingo's legal obligations.

Banned users who believe their ban was issued in error may submit an appeal to support@lingoapp.info. Appeals related to CSAE are reviewed by a separate team and do not pause any concurrent legal process.

6. Working with NCMEC and law enforcement

Disrupt Logic complies with U.S. federal law (18 U.S.C. § 2258A) requiring us to report apparent CSAM to NCMEC. We preserve content and account information as required, respond to lawful process, and cooperate with NCMEC, the FBI, and state and international authorities.

We do not pre-disclose investigations to subjects of those investigations.

7. Designated child safety contact

Reports, escalations, and inquiries from authorities or NCMEC should be directed to:

• Email: support@lingoapp.info
• Mailing address: Available on request via the email above.

8. Changes to these standards

We may update these standards as the platform, applicable law, and our moderation practices evolve. Material changes will be reflected in the “Last updated” date above and, where appropriate, communicated in-app.
