Child Safety Standards

Effective date: 16 July 2026 Last updated: 16 July 2026

These Standards set out how Mintrin — the service operated by Abolfazl Esmaeilinejad, trading as Mintrin, a one-person business established in the Netherlands, registered with the Netherlands Chamber of Commerce under number 42103672, at Postbus 114, 1180 AC Amstelveen, Netherlands ("Mintrin", "we", "us", "our") — prevents, detects, and responds to child sexual abuse and exploitation ("CSAE") on the Service.

They sit alongside our Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy. Each of those documents remains the full statement of its own subject, so where a rule already lives there, we link to it rather than repeat it.

1. Our commitment

We have zero tolerance for child sexual abuse and exploitation. There is no context, no artistic framing, and no privacy setting that makes it acceptable on Mintrin.

Accounts that engage in it are removed permanently and without warning, on the first instance, and we report them to the authorities. This is not a strike-based rule and it is not subject to the ordinary graduated moderation described in the Terms.

2. What we mean

• A child is anyone under 18. This is separate from the minimum age needed to hold a Mintrin account, which is covered in section 7. Someone may be old enough to use Mintrin and still be a child for the purposes of these Standards.
• Child sexual abuse material (CSAM) is any image, video, or other depiction of a child in sexually explicit conduct, or any depiction whose dominant purpose is the sexual gratification of the viewer.
• CSAE is broader. It covers CSAM and also grooming, sexual solicitation of a child, sextortion, trafficking, the sexualisation of a child, and trading, advertising, or seeking any of the above.

These meanings apply regardless of whether the child is real, drawn, described, or machine-generated, and regardless of the local age of sexual consent where you live.

3. What is not allowed

Sexual content involving minors is already prohibited by the acceptable-use rules in the Terms of Service. For clarity, on Mintrin that prohibition covers every surface you can write to — your reviews, comments, display name, handle, bio, avatar, and the article links you share. Specifically, you may not:

• Upload, share, link to, or ask for CSAM, in any medium and by any means.
• Sexualise a child, including describing a real or fictional minor in sexual terms, or presenting a minor as an object of sexual interest.
• Groom, solicit, or sexually harass a child, or attempt to move a child to another service for that purpose.
• Sextort anyone, meaning threatening to publish intimate imagery to obtain more of it, money, or any other thing.
• Advertise, trade, or signal availability of any of the above, including through coded language, handles, or links.
• Use Mintrin to facilitate harm elsewhere, even where nothing prohibited is posted on the Service itself.

Writing about the subject is not the same as sexualising it

Mintrin exists so people can log and review books, films, television, games, music, podcasts, and articles — and serious work does deal with the abuse of children. Reviewing, discussing, criticising, or recommending a work that portrays or examines child abuse is permitted, and cataloguing such a work is not an endorsement of it.

The line is the treatment, not the topic. A review that condemns, analyses, or simply records a difficult film is welcome. A review, comment, or list that uses a work as an occasion to sexualise minors, to signal interest in them, or to reach others who do, is a violation of these Standards and is treated as such.

4. How to report

• In the app. Open the ⋯ menu on any post, comment, or profile, choose Report, and select Child safety. This is the fastest route and it flags the report for priority review.
• By email. Write to legal@mintrin.app. You do not need a Mintrin account to do this, and you may report anonymously.

Two things worth knowing:

• If a child is in immediate danger, contact your local emergency services first. We are not an emergency service and cannot respond at that speed.
• You can always report directly to the authorities, whether or not you tell us. Reporting to us does not replace that right, and we will never discourage it.

The general reporting and appeals process is described in the Terms of Service.

5. What we do when we find out

On obtaining actual knowledge of CSAE — through a report, our own review, or a notice from a platform such as Google Play — we:

1. Remove the content and preserve the evidence in the form and for the period the law requires.
2. Permanently ban the account, and any other account we can attribute to the same person.
3. Report to the authorities, as described in section 6.
4. Respond to lawful requests from law enforcement, on the minimum-necessary basis set out in the Privacy Policy.

Accounts removed under these Standards may appeal under the Terms of Service, but we will not reinstate an account where the finding stands, and we may withhold the reasons for a decision where telling you would prejudice an investigation or put a child at risk.

6. Reporting to the authorities

Mintrin is established in the Netherlands, so when we find apparent child sexual abuse material we report it to the Dutch police, and to any other authority the law requires us to notify. Where the content or account is connected to another country, we may report to that country's authorities as well. We may also file a report with the CyberTipline run by the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC), which accepts reports from anyone.

We comply with the child-protection and reporting laws that apply to us, and we cooperate with law-enforcement investigations into CSAE.

7. Minimum age for an account

You must be at least 13 to use Mintrin, or older where your country sets a higher age. The full rule is in the Terms of Service, and how we handle data belonging to children is in the Privacy Policy.

If you believe someone under the applicable minimum age holds an account, tell us at legal@mintrin.app and we will remove it.

8. Child safety point of contact

Our designated point of contact for child safety, including notices from Google Play and from law enforcement, is:

• Abolfazl Esmaeilinejad, owner, legal@mintrin.app

As a one-person business, the contact named above also reviews child safety reports and decides what action is taken on them.

9. Changes to these Standards

We may update these Standards as the Service, our obligations, or the threats we see change. The date at the top of this page always reflects the current version.

Protecting children is a floor, not a feature. If you see something on Mintrin that crosses this line, tell us.
