Child Safety Standards

Bondie: standards against child sexual abuse and exploitation (CSAE). Last updated 7 October 2026.

Bondie is a private photo app: you take a photo and it appears on the home-screen widget of the people you have connected with. There is no public feed and no way to message a stranger. Even so, child sexual abuse material (CSAM) and any behaviour that sexualises, exploits or endangers a minor are absolutely prohibited, and the standards below describe how we prevent, detect and act on them.

What is prohibited

• Child sexual abuse material, in any form, sent to anyone.
• Sexualised depictions of minors, including drawn, edited or generated imagery.
• Grooming, sexual solicitation of a minor, or sexual extortion.
• Trafficking, or any other exploitation of a child.
• Using Bondie to contact a minor for any of the above.

These rules are part of our terms of use. Breaking them ends the account.

Who can use Bondie

Bondie is for people aged 13 and over, and is not directed at children. Accounts we find to belong to someone under 13 are removed, along with their content.

How we prevent contact between strangers

Photos are never public. A photo can only reach someone who has accepted a mutual connection with you. Two things are visible beyond your connections: anyone who has your invite link or guesses your username can open bondieapp.com/your-username and see your display name and photo, and people who have your phone number or email address in their contacts and choose to look for friends there are shown your name and photo as a suggestion, unless you turn off Findable by contacts. There is no feed, no search by name or location and no browsing of accounts. A connection still needs your approval before anything is shared.

Reporting, in the app

Photos, comments, messages, conversations and friend requests can each be reported from inside the app. A report asks for a reason (nudity or sexual content, violence, harassment, self-harm, spam, or something else) and stores the report for our team to review. A reported photo is hidden from the reporter immediately. If a report involves a child, choose the child safety reason where the app offers it, and also email support@bondieapp.com and say so. That address reaches us whether or not the sender has the app installed.

What we do with a report

• Reports are reviewed by our team. We do not publish a response time.
• Content that breaks these rules is removed, and the account responsible can be ended. Ending an account deletes it together with what it sent, by the same process as a user deleting their own account.

Compliance

This page is the child safety standard we publish for Google Play's Child Safety Standards policy and for Apple's equivalent requirements.

Point of contact

Questions about these standards, or about a specific report, go to support@bondieapp.com. This address is monitored by the person responsible for Bondie's CSAE prevention practices.

Elsewhere

If a child is in immediate danger, contact your local emergency services first. In the United States you can also report to the NCMEC CyberTipline at report.cybertip.org.
