Pliqd maintains a zero-tolerance policy for child sexual abuse and exploitation (CSAE). The safety of children is a non-negotiable priority, and we take every measure to prevent, detect, and respond to any form of child endangerment on our platform.

Pliqd (developed by Pliqd, available on Google Play and the App Store as "pliqd") strictly prohibits any form of child sexual abuse and exploitation (CSAE), including but not limited to:

• Any content that sexualizes, exploits, or endangers minors.
• Sharing, distributing, or soliciting child sexual abuse material (CSAM).
• Grooming or any attempt to build a relationship with a minor for the purpose of exploitation.
• Any communication that sexualizes minors in any way.
• Sextortion or coercion involving minors.
• Trafficking of minors.

Any account found to be involved in CSAE of any kind will be immediately and permanently terminated. Pliqd will report all instances to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) and relevant law enforcement authorities.
