Standards Against Child Sexual Abuse and Exploitation (CSAE)

World Wide Adverts (“we”, “us”, “our”) operates the WorldwideAdverts.info website and the WWA - World Wide Adverts mobile application, published on Google Play by World Wide Adverts. These standards set out our position on child sexual abuse and exploitation and explain how we prevent, detect, remove and report it. They apply to every user, every listing, every image and every message on our platform, worldwide.

1. Zero tolerance

We prohibit child sexual abuse material (CSAM) and any content or conduct that sexualises, exploits or endangers a minor. This includes, without limitation: sexual depictions of minors, whether real, edited or computer-generated; grooming, solicitation or sextortion of a minor; trafficking of or advertising access to a minor; and off-platform coordination of any of the above. There is no context in which such content or conduct is permitted on our platform.

A minor is any person under the age of 18, regardless of the age of majority or age of consent in their jurisdiction.

2. Eligibility to use the platform

World Wide Adverts is intended for adults. Users must be 18 or older to create an account, post a listing, or send or receive messages. Accounts we identify as belonging to a minor are removed.

3. How to report

Anyone can report suspected child sexual abuse or exploitation to us, whether or not they hold an account:

• Use the Report control available on a listing or a conversation, and select the child safety reason.
• Email help@worldwideadverts.info with a link to the content and a short description.

Reports concerning child safety are prioritised above all other report categories. You do not need to be certain — report it and let us assess. Please do not download, copy or forward suspected CSAM; send us the link or the listing reference only.

4. What we do with a report

On receiving a report or otherwise identifying such content, we remove or disable access to the content, suspend the account(s) involved, preserve the associated records as required by applicable law, and refer the matter to the relevant authority. Where the law requires it, we report to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) and to the competent national or regional authority. Accounts removed for child safety reasons are not reinstated.

5. Prevention and detection

Listings are subject to review before they become publicly visible. Reports are triaged by category, with child safety reports escalated immediately. We act on credible information received from users, from authorities and from our own review of the platform.

6. Legal compliance

We comply with the child safety laws applicable to the jurisdictions in which we operate, and we cooperate with law enforcement requests that are valid under applicable law.

7. Point of contact for child safety

8. Review

These standards are reviewed at least annually and updated when our practices or the applicable law change.
