Child Safety Standards — Punutis
1) Zero tolerance for child sexual abuse and exploitation
Punutis strictly prohibits child sexual abuse and exploitation (CSAE), including child sexual abuse material (CSAM). This prohibition applies to every note, photo, voice recording, animal record, parent claim, report, and other item exchanged through the app.
2) Prohibited content and conduct
Users must never use Punutis to create, keep, request, or exchange:
- CSAM or any sexualized depiction of a person under 18;
- grooming, sexual solicitation, sextortion, trafficking, or instructions that facilitate exploitation;
- content that identifies, threatens, stalks, coerces, or endangers a child;
- links, coded requests, audio, or descriptions intended to obtain or distribute exploitative material;
- any attempt to normalize, promote, or conceal CSAE.
3) How Punutis sharing works
Punutis has no public feed, user account service, or central content server. A user deliberately starts an encrypted nearby exchange with another device on the local network. Content received from another keeper remains attributable in the signed local audit trail.
The absence of a central server does not reduce these standards. Every participant is responsible for keeping unlawful content out of the shared braid and acting immediately when a child may be at risk.
4) In-app reporting and blocking
- Use the flag icon on a shared parent claim or imported change to save a report in the village's local safety log.
- Open Settings → Village safety to review reports and block a known phone. Blocking quarantines future changes from that peer.
- Reports preserve the original audit trail; they do not silently rewrite another person's record.
Because Punutis has no moderation server, an in-app report stays on the device and is not automatically delivered to Saifullah Ahad. For developer review, also email the child-safety contact below. Do not email or forward suspected CSAM itself; provide non-explicit identifying details and follow law-enforcement instructions.
5) Reporting a child-safety concern
- Child-safety contact: www.saifullah.ai@gmail.com
- In the app: flag the relevant shared item, then block the source phone if further changes could cause harm.
- Authorities: report suspected exploitation to the appropriate local authority. Where applicable, the NCMEC CyberTipline accepts reports.
6) Response and cooperation
When Saifullah Ahad receives a credible child-safety report, he will assess the report promptly, preserve lawful non-explicit information needed for the response, and report apparent CSAM or CSAE to the appropriate authority when required by law. Punutis will cooperate with valid legal requests.
Since there are no central accounts or server-hosted posts, the developer cannot remotely remove a record from participants' phones. Participants can block the source, delete their local braid, preserve relevant evidence for authorities, and stop exchanging with the device.
7) Privacy and evidence handling
Do not copy, resend, or unnecessarily retain exploitative material. Never attach suspected CSAM to an email report. Share only the minimum non-explicit information needed to identify the concern, and follow instructions from qualified authorities.
