Child Safety Standards

Last updated: April 2026

Our Commitment

Shabbat Table is committed to providing a safe environment for all users. Our platform is designed for adults aged 18 and over to connect for community Shabbat dinners. We have zero tolerance for child sexual abuse material (CSAM) or any form of child exploitation.

Age Restriction

Users must be 18 years or older to create an account. Age verification is enforced during the signup process. Accounts found to be operated by minors will be suspended immediately.

Content Moderation

All user-generated content including profile photos, messages, and dinner descriptions is subject to moderation. Users can report inappropriate content directly within the app using the Report Content feature. Our team reviews all reports within 24 hours.

Reporting & Prevention

We actively monitor for and remove any content that exploits or endangers children. If we identify CSAM or child exploitation content, we will:

1. Immediately remove the content and suspend the account.
2. Report the incident to the relevant national and regional authorities, including the South African Police Service (SAPS) and organisations such as the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC).
3. Preserve evidence as required by law.
4. Cooperate fully with law enforcement investigations.

User Responsibilities

All users agree to our Terms of Service and Community Guidelines, which prohibit any content or behaviour that exploits, harms, or endangers children. Violations result in immediate account termination and reporting to authorities.
