Effective Date: March 22, 2026 | Last Updated: August 10, 2026
Zero Tolerance. Randomly has a strict zero-tolerance policy toward child sexual abuse and exploitation (CSAE). We review every CSAE report we receive. Where we confirm a violation, we remove the content and delete the account involved, and we report the case to the relevant law enforcement authorities. Randomly is operated by one person and every moderation decision is made by hand: the App has no automated suspension or ban system.
1. Age Requirement
Randomly is for users aged 18 and older. This is a stated eligibility requirement, not a verified one. Concretely:
- Users state their own age during registration, and registration is refused below 18. We do not collect a date of birth, and we do not verify age by document, payment method or any third-party check
- The app is listed as 18+ / Adults Only on the Google Play Store
- Where we become aware that an account belongs to a minor, we remove its content and delete the account. This is done by hand by the operator; there is no automated detection of underage accounts
2. Prohibited Content & Behavior
The following is absolutely prohibited on Randomly:
- Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM): Any sexual or exploitative imagery, video, or text involving minors
- Grooming: Any attempt to build a relationship with a minor for the purpose of sexual exploitation
- Solicitation: Requesting, sharing, or distributing sexual content involving minors
- Sexualization of minors: Any content that sexualizes or objectifies minors, including fictional depictions
- Sextortion of minors: Threatening or blackmailing minors with sexual content
- Trafficking: Any content related to the trafficking or exploitation of minors
3. Detection & Moderation
We employ multiple layers of detection and moderation to combat CSAE:
Automated Content Moderation
- NSFW Image Detection: All images posted to the public feed are automatically scanned using Google Cloud Vision API's SafeSearch detection. Images flagged as containing adult, violent, or otherwise inappropriate content are blocked from being published.
- Keyword filtering and spam-pattern detection: Nicknames, feed posts and feed comments are checked against a fixed list of prohibited terms, and repeated or duplicated content across chats and posts is detected as spam. We operate no system that models grooming or exploitative behaviour over time, and messages sent in private chats are not checked against the keyword list.
User Reporting
- Every user can report other users or content directly within the app using our built-in report system
- A dedicated child-safety category is available wherever you can report a user or a post
- All CSAE-related reports are treated with the highest priority
Block System
- Users can instantly block any other user, preventing all further contact
- A block works in both directions: neither side can message the other, open a chat with them, send them a friend request, be matched with them, or like or comment on their posts, and neither sees the other's feed posts. It does not hide everything about the other person, and it does not take back what has already been shared. Among other things: the profile page stays visible, and so does whether someone is online; the other person's comments are not hidden — those on your own posts stay, and those they write on anyone else's post still reach you, before or after the block; and photos and voice messages already sent in the chat are not deleted, and the block does not withdraw the other person's access to them
4. Enforcement Actions
When CSAE content or behavior is reported to us, the report is reviewed by hand. Where we confirm a violation, we take the following actions:
- Content removal: We remove the offending content
- Account deletion: We delete the offending account. Deletion is carried out by the operator directly against the service, and it is permanent and irreversible; where a report to the authorities is required, the material needed for that report is secured first
- Evidence preservation: Relevant data is preserved for law enforcement purposes
- Law enforcement notification: We report all confirmed or suspected CSAE to the appropriate authorities, including BKA (Bundeskriminalamt), jugendschutz.net, and NCMEC (National Center for Missing & Exploited Children)
- Limits of our enforcement: Randomly operates no automated ban or suspension system, and we do not attempt to recognise a removed user who returns with a new Google account. Enforcement is limited to the manual actions listed above
5. Cooperation with Law Enforcement
Randomly fully cooperates with law enforcement agencies investigating child exploitation. We will respond promptly to valid legal requests and provide all available information relevant to investigations involving CSAE.
Our servers are located in Germany and operated under German and EU law. We comply with applicable reporting obligations under German law (including StGB § 184b) and the EU Regulation on combating child sexual abuse.
6. Data Handling for CSAE Cases
In cases involving suspected CSAE:
- Account data and relevant content are preserved and not deleted despite the account termination
- Data is retained for the minimum period required by law or until law enforcement confirms it is no longer needed
- Access to preserved data is strictly limited to authorized personnel and law enforcement
7. Reporting CSAE to Us
If you encounter any content or behavior on Randomly that involves the exploitation of minors, please:
- In-app: Use the Report function and select the child-safety category it offers
- Email: Contact us at clemenswec@gmail.com with "CSAE Report" in the subject line
If a child is in immediate danger, please contact your local law enforcement immediately.
8. Continuous Improvement
We are committed to continuously improving our child safety measures. This includes:
- Regular review and updates to our detection systems
- Staying informed about emerging threats and best practices
- Updating this policy as needed to reflect new measures
