Child Safety Standards

Who's Hungry is intended for people aged 16 and older, and we do not knowingly permit anyone under 16 to register or use the Services.

The features that let members connect with people they don't already know — Share a Table and +1 — are restricted to adults (18+) only, including creating or joining those plans. Identity and age verification is required to use these features. Before a member can create or join a Share a Table or +1 plan, or connect with someone new, they must complete provider-backed verification with a government-issued ID and a selfie and be confirmed as an adult.

If we learn that an account belongs to someone under our age requirements, we remove it and delete the associated content.

Who's Hungry is built to be private by default, which sharply limits the kind of unsolicited stranger contact that puts younger users at risk:

• Invite-only. There is no open public sign-up. People join through an invitation, so the network is built from people users personally know and bring in — not anonymous strangers.
• No open search or discovery. You cannot look up or browse a user you don't already know; there is no public directory or open username search that exposes members to strangers.
• Private profiles by default. We hide certain profile information from other users by default, and members choose what, if anything, to share.
• No open direct messages. There is no general inbox or DM system. Conversation happens only inside a specific plan you are part of, and adult-only plans (Share a Table, +1) are 18+ as described above.
• Block and report. Members can block others and report content or behavior at any time.

The following are strictly prohibited on the Services, will result in immediate removal and account termination, and—where required—will be reported to the authorities:

• Child sexual abuse material (CSAM) or any sexual content involving, or appearing to involve, a minor, whether real, generated, animated, or edited.
• Grooming, sexual solicitation, sextortion, or any attempt to sexualize, exploit, or arrange harm to a minor.
• Trafficking, advertising, soliciting, distributing, or facilitating access to CSAM or to a minor for sexual purposes.
• Any other conduct that sexualizes, endangers, or exploits a child.

We take proactive, ongoing measures to keep CSAE off the Services, including:

• An invite-only, private-by-default design that limits exposure to unknown adults (Section 2).
• A required 18+ identity and age verification (government-issued ID and a selfie) on the features that connect members with people they don't already know (Share a Table, +1).
• Confining communication to within shared plans, with no open inbox or unsolicited direct messages.
• Tools that let members block other users and report content or behavior.
• Reviewing reports of child-safety concerns and removing violating content and accounts, and preserving records as required to support reporting to the relevant authorities.

We make it easy to report child-safety concerns. Inside the app, you can report a user, plan, message, or piece of content using the report and block controls available on profiles, plans, and chats. Reports are reviewed and acted on promptly.

You can also report a concern at any time by emailing safety@whoshungry.com. If you believe a child is in immediate danger, contact your local law-enforcement emergency number first.

In the United States, suspected child sexual exploitation can also be reported to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) CyberTipline at report.cybertip.org or 1-800-843-5678. Outside the United States, you can locate a national hotline through the INHOPE network at inhope.org.

When we identify or receive a report of CSAE, we act quickly. We remove violating content, terminate the responsible accounts, preserve relevant information as required by law, and report apparent child sexual abuse material and exploitation to NCMEC and/or the appropriate regional and national authorities. We cooperate with law enforcement and lawful requests consistent with applicable law and our Privacy Policy.

Who's Hungry complies with applicable child-safety laws and reporting obligations in the jurisdictions where we operate, including reporting apparent CSAM to the relevant regional and national authorities (such as NCMEC in the United States). We review and update these standards as our Services and the applicable legal requirements evolve.

Our designated point of contact for child-safety and CSAE matters is reachable at safety@whoshungry.com. This contact is able to speak to our CSAM prevention practices and compliance.
