Child safety standards

Speakcy has zero tolerance for child sexual abuse and exploitation. These standards apply to everyone who uses Speakcy.

Effective: [OWNER / LEGAL REVIEW REQUIRED: Effective date]

Draft, pending owner and legal review.

This page describes how Speakcy works today, based on the app itself. Items marked “Owner / legal review required” are still to be confirmed, and the text has not yet been reviewed by a lawyer.

Our standard

Child sexual abuse and exploitation (CSAE) is forbidden on Speakcy, in calls, in messages and in profiles. This includes:

  • any sexual talk, request or content involving a person under 18;
  • grooming: building a relationship with a minor in order to exploit or abuse them;
  • sharing, requesting or linking to child sexual abuse material (CSAM);
  • sexualising minors in any way, including in names or usernames;
  • trying to arrange to meet a minor, or to move a minor to another app or service.

Accounts found breaking this standard will be removed. See the wider community guidelines for the rules on every call.

Who can use Speakcy

Speakcy is for people aged 13 and over. Everyone gives their date of birth when they sign up, and people under 13 can’t create an account. Speakcy is a 1:1 voice app with no camera, no photos and no group calls, and only people who have both agreed to be partners can message each other.

Parental consent for users aged 13 to 17: [OWNER / LEGAL REVIEW REQUIRED: Parental consent for users aged 13–17]

How to report a concern

  • In the app: after any call, report the other person and choose “Inappropriate behaviour”, “Harassment or hate speech” or “Something else”.
  • On the web: use the contact form at speakcy.com/contact and choose “Safety concern”. You don’t need a Speakcy account to do this.
  • If a child is in immediate danger, contact your local police or emergency services straight away.
