At Glimr, we take the safety of our young users seriously and enforce a zero-tolerance approach to child sexual exploitation and abuse (CSEA). We have developed comprehensive policies and guidelines to proactively identify and respond to such risks. Any behavior involving or potentially leading to the sexual exploitation or abuse of minors, whether online or offline, is strictly prohibited. This includes child sexual abuse, exploitation and trafficking, grooming, sharing unsolicited obscene material with minors, and child sexual abuse material (CSAM). Users engaging in such activities will be permanently banned from Glimr, and their actions may be reported to the appropriate authorities.
To ensure a positive experience for everyone, we have implemented extensive safety tools to keep our community secure from the moment users sign up. Our robust safety framework has earned recognition from industry experts as a leader in safety innovation.
Our safety tools and measures include advanced AI algorithms, comprehensive age verification (verifying 100% of our users), pioneering video and audio moderation, a team of 24/7 Safety Specialists proactively monitoring the platform, customizable tools for user protection, reporting features, and educational content.

1.Sign-Up Process
When users download and sign up for Glimr, they provide the following information:

Glimr’s Community Guidelines are sent to all new users, who must read and accept them. Users can then add a bio, emojis, additional photos, and tags (e.g., favorite TV shows, games, music, or brands) to their profile.
2.Age and Identity Verification
Glimr ensures user identity and age through:
Discrepancy Detection: Identifying mismatches in age information during sign-up, on the profile, or in user interactions, triggering additional ID verification.
Device and Account Detection: Monitoring for multiple accounts created using the same device or phone number and prompting ID verification as necessary.
Google Image Search: Checking profile photos against online sources to detect fake or stolen images.
Phone Number Verification: Identifying fake numbers used during registration.
3.Community Guidelines
Our Community Guidelines ensure respectful interactions on Glimr. Topics include prohibitions on sexual behavior, harassment, nudity, violence, drugs, hate speech, and animal abuse.
We use AI and human moderation to monitor activity and enforce guidelines. For minor violations, we aim to educate users about the issue before taking action, encouraging positive behavior changes in real time.

Glimr employs innovative tools combining AI and human moderation to detect and address inappropriate content:
Automated alerts for risky or guideline-violating content, such as words, photos, or videos, are sent to our Safety Specialists.

Monitoring private messages to detect risky behavior or potential violations.
