CAFE Child Safety Standards
Last updated: 11/2/26
Cafe Kinship has zero tolerance for child sexual abuse and exploitation (CSAE), including child sexual abuse material (CSAM). These standards apply everywhere on Cafe Kinship: the website cafekinship.com, the Cafe Kinship app, and Cafe Kinship: the game. That covers posts, comments, clips, the gallery, music and artwork, profiles, messages and group chats, lives, rooms and calls, and chat, player names and shop signs in the game.
What isn't allowed
- Any content that sexualizes a minor (anyone under 18), whether it's a photo, video, audio, text, a drawing, animation, or an AI-made or edited image.
- Sharing, asking for, selling or linking to child sexual abuse material.
- Grooming: an adult building a relationship with a minor for sexual purposes, such as asking for photos, pushing a conversation somewhere more private, or asking them to keep it secret.
- Sextortion: threatening to share intimate images, or demanding images or money from someone.
- Trafficking, or offering or advertising a child for sex.
Cafe Kinship isn't for anyone under 13 (see the Terms of Service).
How to report it
- On the site and in the app: use Report on the post, comment, clip, chat message, group message or live comment.
- In the game: press REPORT next to the player in the Players menu, or REPORT THIS SHOP at a storefront.
- By email: write to info@cafekinship.com with the subject "Child safety". Say what you saw and where (a link or a username helps). Please don't attach or forward the images themselves.
If a child is in immediate danger, call 911 (or your local emergency number). In the US you can also report to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children's CyberTipline at report.cybertip.org or 1-800-843-5678.
What we do
- Our moderators review child safety reports before anything else.
- We remove CSAE content as soon as we know about it, and permanently ban the accounts involved, on the website, in the app and in the game.
- We report apparent child sexual abuse material to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC), as US law requires, and keep what the law requires us to keep for law enforcement.
- We cooperate with law enforcement investigations.
