Child safety standards

Last updated 31 October 2026

Director Connect has zero tolerance for child sexual abuse and exploitation (CSAE), including child sexual abuse material (CSAM), grooming, sexualisation of minors, and any attempt to sexually exploit or endanger a child. These are the standards we hold our app and our members to.

Who the service is for

Director Connect is a professional network for company directors. Members must be at least 18 and must pass director verification before they can use the app. The service is not directed at children.

What is prohibited

  • Any content that sexually depicts or sexualises a minor, in text, images or any other form.
  • Soliciting, sharing, requesting or linking to CSAM.
  • Grooming, or any contact with a minor for a sexual purpose.
  • Using the service to facilitate the abuse, trafficking or exploitation of children.

This applies to profiles, posts, comments, messages, photos and every other part of the service.

How to report

  • In the app, use the flag icon on a profile, or the menu on a post, comment or message, and choose a reason.
  • Email admin@directorconnect.in with the subject “Child safety report”.
  • You can also block any member from their profile, which immediately hides them from you and you from them.

What we do

  • Reports go to our moderation team, and anything involving child safety is reviewed first.
  • We remove violating content and permanently remove the accounts responsible.
  • We preserve the relevant records and report CSAE content and the people behind it to the authorities as the law requires, including under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, 2012 and the Information Technology Act, 2000, and we cooperate with law enforcement.

Report to the authorities

If a child is in danger, contact the police immediately. In India you can report child sexual abuse material at cybercrime.gov.in, and call Childline on 1098.
