Fall For is for adults only (18+)
Fall For is restricted to adults. Users must confirm they are 18 or older to create an account, and our Terms of Use require it. The app is not directed to children, and minors are not permitted to use it. We take action on any account we believe belongs to someone under 18.
What we prohibit
- Any child sexual abuse material (CSAM), or content that sexualizes, exploits, or endangers a minor — in profiles, photos, openers, messages, or anywhere else in the app. There are no exceptions.
- Grooming, solicitation, or any attempt to make contact with a minor for sexual purposes.
- Sextortion, trafficking, or promoting, normalizing, or facilitating the abuse or exploitation of children.
- Sharing, requesting, or linking to CSAM or to services that provide it.
How we prevent and detect it
- Adults-only access. Age confirmation at sign-up and an 18+ requirement in our Terms.
- Photo screening. Images uploaded to the app are automatically screened for explicit and abusive content before they can be shown to others.
- Message safety. Messages pass through safety filters that flag abusive and exploitative content for review.
- Human review. Flagged content and user reports are reviewed by our team, and accounts can be suspended or removed.
Reporting a concern
Anyone can report content or behavior that endangers a child:
- In the app: use the block and report tools available on profiles and in conversations.
- By email: contact our child-safety point of contact at josh@abrdn.co.
If a child is in immediate danger, contact your local emergency services first.
How we respond
When we become aware of CSAE or CSAM, we act quickly. Depending on what we find, we remove the content, suspend or permanently ban the accounts involved, and preserve the relevant information. We report apparent CSAM to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) through the CyberTipline, and we cooperate with law enforcement and comply with valid legal requests.
Compliance with the law
We comply with applicable child-safety laws in the jurisdictions where Fall For is available, including legal requirements to report child sexual abuse material to the appropriate authorities. We review and update these standards as our product and the law evolve.
