Child Safety Standards

Last updated: October 9, 2026

These standards apply to Rawly: Photo & Video Challenge (the Rawly app on Google Play and the App Store) and to rawly.app. Rawly is operated by Rawly OÜ, Tallinn, Estonia.

Rawly has zero tolerance for child sexual abuse and exploitation (CSAE). Any content or behaviour that sexually abuses, exploits or endangers a child is prohibited everywhere in Rawly. There are no warnings and no second chances.

In these standards, a child or minor is anyone under 18 years old.

1. What is prohibited

• Child sexual abuse material (CSAM): any photo, video, drawing, animation, edited or AI-generated image, or text that depicts a minor in a sexual way or sexualises a minor.
• Sexual content involving anyone under 18, including content a minor made of themselves.
• Grooming: contacting, befriending, flattering or manipulating a minor with the intent of sexual contact, abuse or exploitation, in posts, comments, voice comments, stories or private messages.
• Sextortion: threatening, pressuring or blackmailing anyone, and especially a minor, to produce or share sexual images or videos, or to pay money.
• Sexualising minors: sexual comments, captions, emojis or voice comments about minors, and any content that presents children as sexual.
• Using Rawly's features to reach minors: using challenges, chat tasks, Token, Jeton or any other payment or reward to ask a minor for photos, videos, meetings or personal information.
• Moving minors elsewhere: asking a minor to continue on another app or platform, or to meet in person, for any of the purposes above.
• Trafficking and solicitation: advertising, offering or soliciting a minor for sexual purposes, or any form of child trafficking.
• Distribution and promotion: sharing, linking to, requesting, trading or promoting any of the above, on Rawly or elsewhere, and content that normalises or excuses the sexual abuse of children.

These rules cover every part of Rawly: photos, videos, captions, comments, voice comments, stories, challenges, chat tasks, profiles and private messages.

2. Who can use Rawly

You must be at least 16 years old to use Rawly, as set out in our Terms of Service. Accounts that we believe belong to someone under 16 are closed.

3. How Rawly is built to limit abuse

• Photos and videos are captured live with the in-app camera. Rawly has no gallery upload, so existing images and videos cannot be posted.
• Every post and comment can be reported in the app, every user can be blocked, and anything else can be reported to us by email.
• Reports are reviewed by people on our team, and child safety reports are handled before all others.

4. How to report

• Posts: tap the ⋯ menu on the post and choose Report.
• Comments: open the comment menu and choose Report.
• Users and private messages: block the user from their profile, a post or the chat, and email us. Private messages are end-to-end encrypted, so we can only review what the person reporting shares with us.
• Email: hello@rawly.app with the subject "Child safety". Include the username and a description or link. Never send us copies of abusive images.
• If a child is in immediate danger, call your local police or emergency number first.

You can also report child sexual abuse material directly to the NCMEC CyberTipline or to the hotline in your country through INHOPE.

5. What we do

• We remove violating content as soon as we become aware of it.
• We permanently ban every account involved, and the person behind them, from Rawly.
• We report child sexual abuse material and child exploitation to the competent authorities, including the Estonian Police and Border Guard Board and the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC).
• We preserve the information required for investigations as the law requires, and we cooperate with valid requests from law enforcement. Law enforcement can reach us at hello@rawly.app.

6. Compliance with law

Rawly OÜ complies with applicable child safety laws and regulations, including the laws of Estonia, the EU Digital Services Act, and the laws of every country where Rawly is available.
