1. Our Commitment
Shush Buddy prohibits human trafficking, sex trafficking, forced labor, sexual exploitation, and any attempt to use the service to recruit, advertise, arrange, or profit from the exploitation of another person. This prohibition applies to all users, content, and activity on the service.
Shush Buddy is an adults-only service. Any attempt to involve a minor in sexual exploitation, trafficking, or commercial activity is prohibited and will be treated as an urgent safety concern.
2. Prohibited Activity
Users must not use Shush Buddy to:
- Recruit, advertise, solicit, transport, or control a person for exploitation
- Offer or request sexual services, forced labor, or commercial activity involving coercion
- Threaten, deceive, groom, or pressure someone into exploitative activity
- Share content or contact details to facilitate trafficking or exploitation on or off the service
- Use tips, payments, gifts, or other transactions to facilitate, conceal, or profit from exploitation
3. Reporting a Concern
If you believe a person is being trafficked or exploited through Shush Buddy, use the in-app report and block tools when it is safe to do so, or contact our safety team at safety@shushbuddy.app. Share the profile or account details, relevant messages, and other information that can help us review the concern. Do not confront a suspected trafficker or put yourself or another person at risk to collect evidence.
If someone is in immediate danger, contact local emergency services. Reports to Shush Buddy are not a substitute for emergency assistance or reporting to appropriate authorities.
4. How We Respond
We review reports and other credible indicators, and may remove content, restrict or disable accounts, prevent payment or payout activity where available, preserve relevant records, and refer information to law enforcement or other appropriate authorities when required or appropriate. We may take action while a review is ongoing when necessary to reduce an immediate safety risk.
We handle reports with care and limit access to report information to those who need it to assess and respond. We cannot guarantee a particular outcome or response time, and will not disclose information where doing so could compromise safety, an investigation, or legal obligations.
5. Enforcement
Violations may result in content removal, account suspension or termination, payment restrictions, and other action permitted by our Terms of Use and applicable law. We may cooperate with lawful investigations and comply with valid legal requests.
