1. General Policy: STRICTLY ADULTS ONLY "Near Singles" is a social and dating application intended solely for users who are eighteen (18) years of age or older. No person under the age of 18 is permitted to access, register, or use this application. We do not knowingly market to, solicit, or collect information from anyone under the age of 18.
2. Compliance with Google Play Families Policy In accordance with Google Play's User Data and Families Policy:
Target Audience: This application is explicitly targeted at adults (18+). It is not designed to appeal to children.
Content Restrictions: We strictly prohibit content that depicts sexual abuse of children or exploits children. Any such content will be reported to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) and relevant law enforcement agencies immediately.
3. Measures to Prevent Underage Access To ensure the safety of minors and compliance with our age policy, we employ the following measures:
Age Gating: During the registration process, all users are required to provide their Date of Birth. The system automatically rejects any user whose calculated age is under 18.
Profile Audits: Our moderation team actively reviews user profiles. If a profile photo or description suggests a user is under 18, the account will be suspended pending age verification (e.g., government ID submission).
4. Data Collection regarding Minors We do not knowingly collect personal data (PII) from children.
Inadvertent Collection: If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal data from a child under the age of 18, we will take immediate steps to delete such information from our servers and terminate the associated account.
5. Information for Parents and Guardians We encourage parents and guardians to monitor their children's online activities.
Reporting Mechanism: If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has created an account on "Near Singles" without your consent, or that we might have any information from or about a child under 18, please contact us immediately at connectastra@outlook.com. Or you can report in app, select "Underage User".
Action: Upon verification, we will permanently delete the child’s account and all associated data within 24 hours.
