Child safety standards

Last updated 8 October 2026

OVEROOM has zero tolerance for child sexual abuse and exploitation. This page sets out what is forbidden, how OVEROOM protects young people, and how to report a problem.

What is forbidden

Anyone who does any of the following is removed from OVEROOM, and we report them to the authorities where the law requires or allows it:

• sharing, making, asking for or linking to child sexual abuse material (CSAM), including drawn, edited or AI-made images;
• sexualizing minors in any way, in rooms, notes, messages, avatars, voice or recordings;
• grooming: building contact with a minor in order to abuse or exploit them, including moving the conversation to private or other apps;
• sextortion, or threatening to share intimate images;
• trafficking or any offer to exploit a child.

How OVEROOM protects young people

• Age gate. OVEROOM is for ages 13 and over, or older where the law in a country requires. Everyone gives a date of birth once; below the minimum age, OVEROOM stops and stores nothing.
• Safer settings for ages 13 to 17, enforced by our servers, not only hidden in the app: no live camera in either direction, private messages only from friends, rooms limited to friends and kept out of public listings, and no recording a voice for an avatar.
• Block anyone, so they can't reach you or enter your rooms.
• Report anything: a person, a room, a note or message, a recording, an item, or what an avatar said.

How to report

• In the app: tap Report (⚑) on the person, message or item, or go to Settings, then Report something here. Choose Child safety as the reason. The person is not told who reported them.
• By email: support@overoom.com with the subject "Child safety". This is our contact for child safety, including for authorities.
• If a child is in danger right now, contact your local police or emergency number first.

What we do with a report

Child safety reports reach us by email straight away and are handled first. We remove the content, close the accounts involved, keep the evidence as the law requires, and report child sexual abuse material to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) and to the relevant authorities. We cooperate with law enforcement investigations.

The law

OVEROOM follows the child safety laws that apply to it, including the laws on reporting child sexual abuse material, and Google Play's Child Safety Standards policy.
