Child Safety Standards

Last updated: 3 October 2026

These standards apply to the Ilk app and website, provided by Kovio GmbH. Ilk does not tolerate child sexual abuse and exploitation (CSAE) in any form.

1. Ilk is for adults only

You must be at least 18 years old to use Ilk. Every person confirms this at signup. When we learn that an account belongs to a person under 18, we delete the account.

2. What is prohibited

On Ilk, it is prohibited to:

• share, request or link to child sexual abuse material (CSAM);
• sexualise minors in text, usernames or any other content;
• contact a minor for sexual purposes (grooming), or arrange to meet a minor for such purposes;
• use Ilk in any other way to exploit or endanger a child.

Ilk has no upload of images or files. A filter on the server rejects phone numbers, email addresses, links and social media handles in messages, so that conversations cannot move to other services without notice.

3. How to report

In the app, open the menu in a chat or on a person's card and choose "Report this user". Choose the reason "Underage user" or "Inappropriate content". A report also blocks the person. Without an account, send a report to support@ilkapp.com.

4. What we do

A person at Ilk reviews every report within 24 hours on work days. When we find content or conduct that breaks these standards, we:

• remove the content;
• delete the account;
• report CSAM and the sexual exploitation of a child to the competent law enforcement authorities: in Switzerland the Federal Office of Police (fedpol), and in other countries the authority that the local law names;
• keep the relevant data for the authorities as the law requires.

5. Laws

Kovio GmbH complies with the child safety laws that apply to Ilk, including the Swiss Criminal Code and the laws of the countries in which Ilk is offered.

6. Contact for child safety

Kovio GmbH has a designated contact for child safety questions, also for authorities: support@ilkapp.com. See also the Terms of Service and the Impressum.
