Child safety standards
Last updated 3 October 2026
WhoFree has zero tolerance for child sexual abuse and exploitation (CSAE), including child sexual abuse material (CSAM). This page sets out WhoFree's standards, how to report a concern, and what I do about it.
Who WhoFree is for
WhoFree is for people aged 13 and over. It's built for friends who already know each other: there are no public profiles, no search, and no way to find or contact strangers. People only see each other after sharing a crew or friend code.
The app has no messaging, no photos, no videos and no file sharing. The only things people can see are each other's display names, crew names and statuses.
What isn't allowed
- Any content or behaviour that sexualises, exploits or endangers children
- Grooming, or using WhoFree to make contact with a child for sexual purposes
- Names or crew names that are sexual, or that refer to the abuse of children
- Using WhoFree to arrange, promote or share CSAM anywhere else
These rules sit alongside the terms of use, which ban offensive and abusive behaviour of any kind.
How to report a concern
- In the app: press and hold someone's name and choose Report, or tap your name and choose Report at the bottom. Either one opens an email to me with the details filled in.
- By email: harry@whofree.app. Include the person's name and crew if you can.
You can also block anyone straight away from the same menu, or leave a crew. If a child is in immediate danger, contact your local police or emergency services first.
What happens next
- Every child safety report is reviewed within 24 hours.
- Accounts that break these standards are removed, along with any related content, as soon as I become aware of them.
- Where the law requires it, or where a child may be at risk, I report to the relevant authorities, such as the Australian Centre to Counter Child Exploitation (ACCCE), and cooperate with law enforcement.
