Child Sexual Exploitation, Abuse, & Nudity

Policy Rationale:

‍

At Evolution Global, we stand unwavering in our commitment to safeguarding children from all forms of sexual exploitation and abuse. Our policies strictly prohibit any content or activities that could exploit or endanger children. Upon identification of potential child exploitation, we take immediate action by reporting such instances to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC), adhering to the mandates of applicable laws.

‍

We recognize that in some instances, images of children may be shared by their guardians with benign intentions. Nevertheless, we maintain a strict policy of removing these images to prevent any potential for misuse or abuse by others, thereby mitigating the risk of such content being repurposed or distributed without consent.

‍

Our dedication to child safety extends beyond our internal policies. We actively collaborate with external experts and advisory boards to continually refine and enhance our strategies for online safety, particularly concerning the protection of children. These partnerships enable us to stay at the forefront of technological advancements and best practices in the fight against child exploitation.

‍

To learn more about the sophisticated technologies we employ to combat child exploitation and to gain insight into our collaborative efforts with leading safety organizations, we invite you to explore our initiatives further. Together, we are committed to creating a secure digital environment where children are protected from harm and exploitation.
