Child Protection & Safety Policy

Our Standards Against Child Sexual Abuse and Exploitation (CSAE)

Introduction

At Bumi, we believe every child has the right to be safe, online and offline. We are fully committed to preventing, identifying, reporting, and eliminating all forms of Child Sexual Abuse and Exploitation (CSAE) on our platform. This policy outlines the strict standards we follow to protect minors and ensure our platform remains safe for all users.

Zero Tolerance Policy

Bumi enforces a strict zero-tolerance policy towards any content that involves, promotes, or implies child sexual abuse or exploitation. This includes but is not limited to:

• Images, videos, or text content that sexualises children or minors
  
  

• Any suggestion, solicitation, or encouragement of CSAE-related material
  
  

• Attempts to use our platform to contact minors inappropriately
  
  

Any user who violates this policy will be permanently banned, and their information will be reported to relevant authorities and child protection agencies.

What We Do to Protect Children

To maintain a safe environment for all, we take the following active steps:

• Strict moderation of user-generated content, including images, posts, and replies
  
  

• Automated filters and human review systems to detect harmful or suspicious content
  
  

• User reporting tools that allow any member of the community to flag harmful content
  
  

• Fast response to CSAE-related reports, typically within 24 hours
  
  

• Permanent bans for any accounts involved in CSAE content
  
  

• Legal cooperation with child protection organisations and law enforcement agencies
  
  

How to Report CSAE Content

If you ever see any content on Bumi that may involve child exploitation or abuse, please take immediate action:

• Tap the “Report” button next to the post or profile
  
  

• Or contact our safety team directly at cawpediamark@gmail.com
  
  

We treat all reports with urgency and confidentiality. All verified CSAE content is escalated to appropriate international bodies such as the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC).

Legal & International Compliance

Bumi adheres to international child safety frameworks and relevant national laws. We actively comply with the following:

• The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC)
  
  

• The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA)
  
  

• Applicable provisions under Nigerian Law
  
  

• Any mandatory reporting requirements under international CSAE prevention laws
  
  

Moderation Process

We use a combination of tools to keep our platform clean:

• AI-powered filters to catch harmful content at scale
  
  

• Manual review by trained safety personnel for nuanced cases
  
  

• Community feedback loops so users can participate in keeping Bumi safe
  
  

When any CSAE content is identified, we immediately:

1. Remove the content
   
   

2. Ban the offender’s account
   
   

3. Document and forward the case to child protection authorities
   
   

Educating and Empowering Our Community

We believe prevention also comes from awareness. That’s why we promote child safety education through:

• In-app safety tips for all users
  
  

• Guidance for parents and guardians about online safety
  
  

• Collaborations with local child welfare organisations to raise awareness
  
  

Conclusion

Bumi is a place for sharing ideas, information, and meaningful conversations, but never at the expense of children’s safety. We continue to improve our policies, systems, and education efforts to keep our community safe and supportive.

Together, we can protect the future.
