10 Child Safety & Zero Tolerance for CSAE

Nest Chat has a strict, zero-tolerance policy against Child Sexual Abuse and Exploitation (CSAE) and Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM). We explicitly prohibit users from uploading, sharing, generating, or promoting any content that exploits, harms, or endangers children.

Addressing CSAM and User Feedback

Nest Chat provides a dedicated in-app reporting mechanism allowing users to flag inappropriate content, abusive behavior, or policy violations. If we become aware of any user sharing CSAM or engaging in CSAE, we will immediately terminate the offending account, preserve the necessary data, and report the incident to the appropriate law enforcement authorities and child safety organizations. We comply with all applicable child safety laws and regulations.
