Child Safety

Child Safety Standards

Last updated March 10, 2026. Existence is an adults-only social app for meeting nearby people for in-person philosophical conversation. We do not allow child sexual abuse and exploitation, child sexual abuse material, grooming, or any sexualized behavior involving minors on or through the service.

18+ only

Existence is intended only for adults age 18 and older.

Report concerns

Users can report suspected underage use, grooming, or exploitative content through in-app reporting or support@types.social.

Escalation

We may remove content, disable accounts, preserve records, and report apparent violations to NCMEC or law enforcement when appropriate.

1. Zero-Tolerance Policy

Existence has zero tolerance for child sexual abuse and exploitation (CSAE). This includes, without limitation, child sexual abuse material (CSAM), grooming, sexual solicitation involving a minor, trafficking, or any attempt to use the service to exploit, endanger, or sexualize a child. Any such behavior is prohibited whether it appears in profile content, images, videos, hangout posts, usernames, direct messages, or off-platform coordination that originates through Existence.

2. Adults-Only Service

Existence is not designed for children or teens. Users must be at least 18 years old to create an account or use the service. If we learn or reasonably suspect that a user is under 18, we may restrict, suspend, or permanently remove the account and related content while we review the situation.

3. How to Report

If you encounter suspected underage users, grooming, exploitative behavior, or any content that appears to involve child sexual abuse or exploitation, please report it immediately.

  • Use the app's built-in reporting tools for profiles, posts, or conversations.
  • Email support@types.social with relevant details or screenshots.
  • If there is an immediate danger or emergency, contact local emergency services first.

A dedicated "underage" report button is not required to make a report. Any general safety report submitted through the app or by email may be used to flag suspected minors, grooming, or exploitative conduct.

4. Review and Enforcement

We review safety reports and may take action including removing content, limiting visibility, freezing features, disabling messaging, suspending accounts, or permanently banning users. We may also preserve relevant account information and records to support safety review, legal compliance, and investigations.

5. Reporting to Authorities

Where required by law, or where we determine it is appropriate to protect children or investigate apparent CSAE, we may report content, account information, and related records to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC), law enforcement, or other relevant authorities.
