Our standard
Vizdea is a professional network for builders and founders and is not directed at children. We have zero tolerance for child sexual abuse and exploitation. It is prohibited everywhere on Vizdea: in posts, comments, images, profiles, communities, startup pages, and direct messages.
- Child sexual abuse material (CSAM) of any kind, including drawn, generated, or edited imagery.
- Content that sexualises a minor, or sexual comments about a minor.
- Grooming: contacting or befriending a minor in order to sexually exploit them.
- Sextortion, or threatening to share intimate images of a minor.
- Soliciting, offering, or trafficking a child for sexual purposes, or linking to any of the above elsewhere.
How to report it
If you see anything that may exploit a child, do not share, download, or screenshot it, and do not confront the person. Report it to us straight away:
- In the Vizdea app or on vizdea.com, use Report on the post, comment, image, or profile and choose Safety.
- Block the account so it cannot contact you.
- Email info@vizdea.com with the subject Child safety. Describe where you saw it, with a link or username, but do not attach the material.
- If a child is in immediate danger, contact local emergency services first. In India, you can also report at cybercrime.gov.in or call the Childline number, 1098.
What we do
Reports marked Safety carry the highest priority in the moderation queue. When we find or are told about child sexual abuse or exploitation, we:
- Remove the material as soon as we know about it.
- Permanently close the accounts involved.
- Report it to the relevant authorities as the law requires, including the police or the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal in India.
- Preserve the information the law requires us to keep for an investigation, for at least 180 days and even if the account involved is deleted, and share it only with the authorities.
Child safety point of contact
