Child Safety Standards

me-n-u : meet. seat. eat.

me-n-u is committed to maintaining a platform that is completely safe for all users and entirely free from child sexual abuse and exploitation. This page sets out our published standards in compliance with Google Play’s Child Safety Standards policy and Google Play’s Age-Restricted Content and Functionality policy. These standards apply across all platforms and versions of me-n-u.

🛡

Zero tolerance for child sexual abuse and exploitation

me-n-u has an absolute zero-tolerance policy for child sexual abuse and exploitation (CSAE) and child sexual abuse material (CSAM) in any form, on any part of our platform. Any user found engaging in such conduct will be permanently removed and reported to law enforcement.

1. Our Standards Against Child Sexual Abuse and Exploitation

me-n-u is a social dining platform designed exclusively for adults aged 18 and older. We prohibit all content, behavior, and communication on our platform that sexually exploits, abuses, or endangers minors. These standards apply to every feature of me-n-u — including messaging, profiles, matching, reservations, and events.

Our standards are aligned with the Tech Coalition Child Safety Standards, the requirements of the PROTECT Our Children Act, and Google Play’s Child Safety Standards policy.

2. Prohibited Content and Conduct

The following are strictly prohibited on me-n-u and will result in immediate account removal and, where required by law, reporting to the appropriate authorities:

Child sexual abuse and exploitation (CSAE)

  • Grooming a minor for sexual exploitation
  • Sextortion of a minor
  • Trafficking of a minor for sexual purposes
  • Any conduct that sexualizes, endangers, or exploits a person under the age of 18
  • Attempting to arrange in-person meetings with a minor for any sexual purpose

Child sexual abuse material (CSAM)

  • Soliciting, producing, distributing, or possessing CSAM
  • Sharing any visual depiction — including photos, videos, or computer-generated imagery — of a minor in a sexually explicit context
  • Using our messaging, profile, or any other feature to transmit or request CSAM

Age misrepresentation

  • Creating an account while under 18 years of age
  • Misrepresenting your age or identity during registration or verification
  • Helping a minor create or access an account

3. Age-Gating Safeguards for Matching and Connection Features

me-n-u’s core purpose is social dining — connecting people over shared meals. The platform also includes matching and connection features, including a Romantic Connection option. Because these features involve social matching between adults, we implement robust age-gating safeguards to prevent users under 18 from accessing them.

📋

Age declaration at registration

Every user must confirm they are 18 or older before creating an account. Users who do not meet this requirement are blocked from completing registration.

🪪

Identity verification

me-n-u uses a third-party identity verification system (Didit) to confirm that users are live individuals who match the age on their profile. Verification is required before accessing Discovery or matching features.

👁

Profile review

User profiles are subject to review and may be removed if we have reason to believe a user has misrepresented their age or identity.

🚩

In-app reporting

Any user can report another user’s profile through our in-app Report feature. Reports alleging that a user may be a minor are treated as high-priority and reviewed promptly.

We do not permit users to access Romantic Connection, matching, or Discovery features until age verification is complete. We take responsibility for ensuring our age-gating mechanisms cannot be easily circumvented.

4. How to Report a Concern

If you encounter any content or behavior on me-n-u that you believe involves child sexual abuse or exploitation, please report it immediately. You can report directly from within the app without leaving the platform.

1

Report in the app

Tap the Report button on any user profile or within any conversation thread. Select “Child Safety” or “Inappropriate Content” as the reason and provide as much detail as possible.

2

Email our child safety contact

For urgent child safety concerns, email info@me-n-uapp.com with the subject line Child Safety. Include as much detail as you can about the content or user involved.

3

Report to NCMEC

If you have encountered CSAM, you can also report it directly to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children via the CyberTipline.

All reports are reviewed by our trust and safety team. We will acknowledge child safety reports within 24 hours and take appropriate action as quickly as possible.

5. How We Respond to CSAM

Upon obtaining actual knowledge of CSAM on our platform, me-n-u will take the following steps immediately:

  • Remove the content from our platform immediately
  • Suspend or permanently terminate the account responsible
  • Report the content to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) via the CyberTipline, as required by 18 U.S.C. Section 2258A
  • Cooperate fully with law enforcement in any resulting investigation
  • Preserve relevant evidence as required by applicable law

me-n-u does not knowingly allow CSAM to be stored, transmitted, or shared through our platform under any circumstances. We act in accordance with our published standards and all relevant laws.
