Child safety
Tick prohibits any form of child sexual abuse and exploitation (CSAE). This page sets out our standards and what we do when a problem is reported.
Zero tolerance
You may not post, share, request or promote child sexual abuse material (CSAM), sexualise minors, contact a minor for sexual purposes (grooming), use sexual blackmail (sextortion) or facilitate child trafficking. This applies to photos, captions, comments, direct messages, Circles and profiles.
Minimum age
Tick is only for people aged 16 or over. We close an account when we learn that it belongs to someone younger.
Report in the app
On a Tick, a comment, a direct message, a Circle message or a profile, tap “Report” and pick the closest reason. Every report is reviewed by a person. You can also block the account.
Report without the app
Write to developer@lucarnould.fr. Reports involving a child are handled first. Do not send the image itself: tell us where it is (account username, time of the Tick). If a child is in immediate danger, call emergency services first (112 in Europe).
What we do
As soon as such content is reported to us, we remove it, ban the account involved and keep the evidence needed for an investigation. We report child sexual abuse material to the relevant authorities, including PHAROS in France and NCMEC, and we cooperate with law enforcement.
Applicable laws
Tick complies with the child protection laws that apply to it, including French law and the EU Digital Services Act (DSA).
Contact
The person responsible for these matters is Luc Arnould, publisher of Tick. Contact: developer@lucarnould.fr.
