At Talkroom, the safety of our users—especially younger audiences—is a top priority. We recognize that providing a secure environment is crucial not only for fostering trust but also for ensuring that people of all ages can use our platform without fear of harm or exploitation. To that end, we’ve implemented a series of policies, systems, and human safeguards to protect young people on our app.
First and foremost, Talkroom is not open to children under the age of 13. We strictly prohibit users below this age from accessing the platform. This age restriction is clearly stated in our terms of service and enforced through our user registration process, helping us maintain a space that is not designed or intended for very young audiences.
For users who are 13 and older, we’ve built a series of protective layers. Before anyone can earn money or be publicly visible as an expert on Talkroom, they must go through a manual human verification process. A trained review officer on our team carefully evaluates all expert profiles. This extra step helps ensure that individuals with harmful intentions—or accounts that do not meet our safety standards—are not allowed to participate in any capacity that could put young users at risk.
To further strengthen our safety framework, we use automated filtering systems that monitor both private chats and public profiles. These systems are designed to detect and flag inappropriate language, harmful behavior, or any other violations of our content standards. When something suspicious is detected, it’s immediately escalated for review.
Flagged accounts face permanent bans. We take violations of our child safety rules seriously, and any account found engaging in activities that could endanger young users is removed from the platform without exception.
Additionally, we provide visible and accessible reporting tools. On every public profile and private chat, users can find a form to manually report content they believe is harmful to children. These reports are reviewed quickly by our safety team, who are trained to handle sensitive situations with care and urgency.
In conclusion, Talkroom is a safe app for younger users. Through a combination of age restrictions, human oversight, algorithmic filters, and user-driven reporting, we’ve created a space that promotes healthy, educational, and safe conversations. We’re committed to continuously improving our safeguards as we grow and learn from our community.
