Child Safety Standards

Effective date: 7 November 2026

Squiggle (by Raj Aryan, tandevs) is a doodle app for partners and small groups of friends. We have zero tolerance for child sexual abuse and exploitation (CSAE), including child sexual abuse material (CSAM), grooming, sexualising minors, or any attempt to contact a child for sexual purposes. This page explains our standards, how to report, and what we do.

Our standards

• Squiggle is for people aged 13 and older. Everyone confirms their age before using the app, and accounts of children under 13 are deleted.
• Content or behaviour that sexualises or exploits children is never allowed, whether it is a drawing, a photo, a name, a note or a message. This is in our Terms of Use.
• There are no public profiles, no search for strangers and no open chat: doodles go only to people who joined your circle through an invite you shared, and circles have at most 5 people.
• Anyone can leave a circle, block someone or delete their account instantly.

How to report

In the app: open the doodle (drawings and doodles on photos alike), tap Report, pick a reason (for example "Nudity or sexual content") and add a note if you like. Then block the person: blocking removes you from every circle you share with them, and they can't join a circle you are in.

By email: write to rajaryan.space@gmail.com with "Child safety" in the subject. If you can, include the account id or name of the person and when it happened. Please don't send us copies of abusive images; describe them instead.

If a child is in immediate danger, contact your local police or emergency number first. You can also report directly to:

• India: the National Cybercrime Reporting Portal, cybercrime.gov.in (run by the Ministry of Home Affairs and NCRB), or call 1930
• United States and worldwide: NCMEC CyberTipline, report.cybertip.org
• Other countries: your national hotline listed by INHOPE

What we do

When we receive a report or find CSAE content:

• We review it as a priority, usually within 24 hours.
• We remove the content right away.
• We ban the account and its linked Google account, so it can't sign back in or restore.
• We report CSAM and child exploitation to the relevant authorities: to NCMEC (CyberTipline) and, for India, through the National Cybercrime Reporting Portal (NCRB), and to other law enforcement as required by law. We preserve the information the authorities need as the law requires.
• We cooperate with law enforcement requests made through proper legal channels.

We comply with applicable child safety laws, including India's Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act and Information Technology Act, and the reporting duties that apply to us.
