At Hackeen, we are committed to creating a safe and supportive environment for all users, with special attention to the safety of children and minors who may use our competition platform. This Child Safety Policy outlines our approach to protecting minors and preventing harmful or inappropriate content or interactions.

2. Age Requirements

Hackeen is intended for users who are 13 years of age or older. Users between the ages of 13 and 18 should have parent or guardian consent to use the service. We implement an age verification system during the sign-up process to help enforce these requirements.

The following age restrictions apply:

• Users under 13 years of age are not permitted to use Hackeen.
• Users between 13-18 years require parental consent.
• Certain features may have additional age restrictions clearly indicated within the app.

Hackeen strictly prohibits content and behavior that may harm, exploit, or endanger children. The following are explicitly prohibited on our platform:

• Child Sexual Exploitation: Any content or behavior related to child sexual abuse, exploitation, or inappropriate interactions with minors.
• Grooming: Attempts to establish inappropriate relationships with minors or manipulate them for any exploitative purpose.
• Sextortion: Threatening or coercing minors for sexual content or favors.
• Trafficking: Any attempt to traffic, trade, or exploit minors.
• Harmful Challenges: Promoting, encouraging, or sharing challenges that may cause physical or psychological harm.
• Bullying and Harassment: Content or behavior intended to harass, intimidate, or bully others, particularly minors.
• Hate Speech: Content promoting discrimination, hatred, or violence against any individual or group based on protected characteristics.
• Self-Harm Promotion: Content that promotes, encourages, or glorifies self-harm or suicide.

4. Content Moderation and Safety Measures

To ensure a safe environment, particularly for younger users, we implement the following safety measures:

• Content Filtering: Automated systems help detect and limit inappropriate content.

5. Safe Challenge Design

Hackeen encourages responsible challenge design. We discourage and remove content that promotes unsafe, illegal, or dangerous activities. If we detect unsafe challenges, we may remove them and take action on the account.

We encourage all users to report content or behavior that violates our Child Safety Policy. Reports can be made through:

• In-app reporting tools accessible from any content or user interaction

All reports are taken seriously and investigated promptly. Depending on the severity of the violation, we may take appropriate action, including content removal, account suspension, or reporting to relevant authorities.
