Child Safety Standards
These standards apply to Vocial: Your Micropodcast, the Vocial app by Pudding Studio Inc on Google Play and the App Store, and to vocial.app.
Our policy
Vocial prohibits child sexual abuse and exploitation (CSAE), including child sexual abuse material (CSAM), grooming, sextortion, and soliciting or sharing sexual content involving minors. This policy applies across Vocial, including voice posts, comments, profiles, direct messages, and Campfires.
For this policy, a child is anyone under 18. You must be at least 16 to use Vocial.
How to report a concern
To report a post, profile, or conversation, open its options menu in the Vocial app and select Report. You can also email support@vocial.app with “Child safety” in the subject line.
Reporting and blocking are built into the app. You can report a post, a profile, or a conversation without leaving Vocial, and choose a reason such as “Sexual or inappropriate content” or “Underage user”. To report a comment, open the profile of the person who wrote it and select Report. You can also block any account from its profile or from a conversation.
Please don’t download, forward, or attach suspected abuse material. If a child is in immediate danger, contact local emergency services.
How we respond
We prioritize child safety reports. When we identify a violation, we remove the content and take action against the accounts involved, up to and including permanent suspension.
We report confirmed CSAM to the appropriate reporting authority, such as NCMEC or the relevant regional authority, in accordance with applicable law.
