LoyalFans.com

LoyalFans is committed to the safety and protection of children. We maintain a zero-tolerance policy for any content that sexualizes, exploits, or endangers children. This includes but is not limited to:

• Images, videos, audio, or text depicting minors in a sexualized manner.
• Computer-generated, illustrated, or fictional depictions of child sexual abuse.
• Written content that references or alludes to the sexual exploitation of children, including in messages, titles, or profile descriptions.

LoyalFans also supports the Voluntary Principles to Counter Online Child Sexual Exploitation and Abuse, a global initiative launched by the Five Country Ministerial (5 Eyes) to combat online child sexual exploitation. The Five Country Ministerial, comprising security leaders from Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States, promotes cross-sector collaboration to address global security challenges, including eradicating child sexual abuse material.

Definition of a Minor

A minor is any individual under the age of 18. LoyalFans enforces this standard regardless of differing local laws or cultural norms.

Prohibited Content

You must not upload, share, or generate any content on LoyalFans that:

• Depicts, involves, or attempts to depict a minor, real or fictional, in a sexual context or any other context.
• Promotes, advocates, or references child sexual exploitation or abuse, including suggestive content about minors.
• Includes text, images, or other media that could be interpreted as sexualizing or endangering children.
• Contains ambiguous or age-doubtful depictions of characters in a sexualized manner.

How LoyalFans Addresses CSAM

1. Detection and Prevention

   LoyalFans proactively monitors for CSAM through the following measures:

   • Human Moderation: A trained team of moderators reviews content around the clock to detect and act on suspected CSAM.
   • Advanced Technology: Tools such as hash databases (e.g., NCMEC Hash List), AI detection software (e.g., PhotoDNA), and other content filtering systems to prevent CSAM from being uploaded or shared.
   • Age Estimation Capabilities: We use advanced technologies to analyze and flag content for potential age concerns, including fictional or realistic depictions. All content creators are subject to a rigorous age and consent verification process in line with 18 U.S.C. § 2257, the AVMS Directive (EU), and the UK Online Safety Act expectations.
   • Regular Platform Audits: Frequent reviews of search terms, tags, and titles are conducted to ban potentially abusive or illegal content proactively.
   • Risk Assessments: Annual evaluations of our platform are conducted to identify and mitigate risks related to illegal content, including CSAM.

2. Staff Training and Vetting

   All moderators, trust and safety staff, and customer service personnel receive recurring training on identifying and responding to suspected CSAM, including trauma-informed practices and legal handling protocols. Staff engaged in CSAM review undergo background screening and must comply with a strict code of conduct.

3. Reporting and Removal

   • User Reporting: Anyone, including non-account holders, can report suspected CSAM in accordance with our Complaints Policy or by flagging content directly on the platform.
   • Immediate Action: All flagged or detected content is removed immediately, and accounts associated with that content are permanently banned.
   • Law Enforcement Cooperation: LoyalFans complies with all applicable laws, including the U.S. PROTECT Act, 18 U.S.C. §§ 2256–2258A, the EU Directive 2011/93/EU, the UK Online Safety Act 2023, and reporting obligations to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC). All confirmed cases of CSAM are reported to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) and other appropriate authorities for further action. Where required, we route reports to national hotlines via INHOPE and cooperate with cross-border law enforcement through INTERPOL and Europol protocols.
   • Retention and Escalation Protocols: We securely retain relevant data and content associated with suspected CSAM for a limited period in compliance with law enforcement requests and applicable data protection laws. Escalation protocols are in place for handling incidents involving imminent harm to a child, which may include expedited reporting to INTERPOL, INHOPE, or national agencies.
   • Appeals Process: Users may appeal a removal decision related to suspected CSAM in accordance with our Appeals Policy. Appeals are reviewed within a reasonable period, in compliance with law, without delaying mandatory reporting requirements.

4. Transparency and Accountability

   LoyalFans is dedicated to maintaining transparency and accountability by:

   • Annual Transparency Reports: Publishing an annual transparency report, which includes:
   • The number of CSAM reports received and resolved.
   • The volume of content removed for CSAM violations.
   • An overview of the tools and measures used to detect and prevent CSAM.
   • Collaboration: Working with regulatory authorities, independent certification organizations, and child protection agencies to ensure compliance and effectiveness.

User Responsibilities

If you encounter CSAM or content that might violate this policy, you must:

• Report the content immediately in accordance with our Complaints Policy.
• Contact local law enforcement if a child is in imminent danger before reporting to LoyalFans.

Cross-Border and Multilingual Support

We provide multilingual reporting options and escalation channels to ensure that users, moderators, and other stakeholders can report suspected CSAM regardless of language barriers. Where necessary, reports are routed to appropriate local or international law enforcement agencies. We work with organizations such as INHOPE to facilitate cross-border reporting and ensure that information is transmitted securely and in compliance with applicable laws.
