Child Safety Standards

Last updated: June 30, 2026

Our commitment

Archeum has zero tolerance for child sexual abuse and exploitation (CSAE), including child sexual abuse material (CSAM), grooming, sextortion, and any sexualization of minors. This content is prohibited everywhere on the Archeum network and in every app we publish (Archeum and Social). Our apps are intended for adults (18+).

How Archeum is different, and why it matters here

Archeum is decentralized personal infrastructure. Each person's data lives on a node that runs on their own phone; there is no central server holding everyone's content and no company that can reach into another person's device. That shapes how safety works: we cannot silently reach in and delete a file from someone's phone, and we deliberately build no power for any person or organization to hide content from everyone. Instead, safety is enforced by rules that run identically on every device, by the people affected, and by the authorities empowered to act.

How we prevent CSAE

• On-device content classification. An explicit-content classifier runs on the device for every image, both when it is uploaded and when it is displayed. Explicit imagery is blocked at both ends, so it is never stored or shown. Because every app on the network is hardware-attested, this check cannot be removed or bypassed: a modified app that skipped it could not join the network.
• Fail-closed. If the classifier cannot run, the content is withheld rather than shown.
• Adults only. Our apps target 18+ and restrict access by known-minor accounts.
• Launch scope. At launch, Social supports text and images only; video is not enabled.

How to report

If you encounter content or behavior that endangers a child:

• In the app: use the Report action on the post, profile, or message. Reports about child safety are always free and take priority.
• By email: contact [email protected], our designated child-safety point of contact.
• Block and mute: you can immediately block or mute any account so its content no longer reaches you.

If a child is in immediate danger, contact your local law enforcement first.

Working with authorities

Archeum cooperates with law enforcement and the relevant regional and national child-protection authorities, and complies with applicable child-safety laws. Reports of illegal content are directed to the authorities empowered to investigate and act; Archeum is the reporting channel, not the arbiter, and does not decide guilt or innocence. In many countries, suspected CSAM is reported to a national body such as the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) or its regional equivalent.
