Child Safety Standards

Bondie — standards against child sexual abuse and exploitation (CSAE). Last updated 18 September 2026.

Bondie is a private photo app: you take a photo and it appears on the home-screen widget of the people you have connected with. There is no public feed, no discovery, and no way to reach a stranger. Even so, child sexual abuse material (CSAM) and any behaviour that sexualises, exploits or endangers a minor are absolutely prohibited, and the standards below describe how we prevent, detect and act on them.

What is prohibited

• Child sexual abuse material, in any form, sent to anyone.
• Sexualised depictions of minors, including drawn, edited or generated imagery.
• Grooming, sexual solicitation of a minor, or sexual extortion.
• Trafficking, or any other exploitation of a child.
• Using Bondie to contact a minor for any of the above.

These rules are part of our terms of use. Breaking them ends the account.

Who can use Bondie

Bondie is rated for users aged 18 and over, and is not directed at children. Accounts we find to belong to someone under 13 are removed, along with their content.

How we prevent contact between strangers

Nothing is public. A photo can only reach someone who has accepted a mutual connection with you, and connections are made by sharing a personal invite link or username — there is no browse, search-by-proximity or suggested-people surface that could put a child in front of an adult they do not know.

Reporting, in the app

Every received photo has a Report action. It asks for a reason — nudity or sexual content, violence, harassment, self-harm, spam, or something else — and sends the report to our review queue. The reported photo is hidden from the reporter immediately. Reports can also be sent by email to support@bondieapp.com, which reaches us whether or not the sender has the app installed.

What we do with a report

• Reports that may involve a child are triaged ahead of everything else and reviewed within 24 hours.
• Content confirmed as CSAM is removed and preserved as required by law.
• The account responsible is terminated, and we act to prevent the same person signing up again.
• We report apparent child sexual abuse and exploitation to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC), and to the relevant regional or national authorities where we or the user are located.

Compliance

We comply with child safety laws in the jurisdictions where Bondie is available, including obligations to report apparent CSAM to the relevant authority. We follow Google Play's Child Safety Standards policy and Apple's equivalent requirements.
