Revved — Child Safety Standards

Published by Revved (Pty) Ltd, developer of the Revved application

Effective date: 28 August 2026
Version 1.0

Publicly available at: https://joinrevved.co.za/child-safety

1. Our Commitment

Revved has zero tolerance for child sexual abuse and exploitation (CSAE).

Revved (Pty) Ltd operates Revved, a community platform for car and motorcycle enthusiasts in South Africa. We prohibit any content, conduct, or use of our platform that sexualises, endangers, exploits, or abuses a child. We act on every report we receive, we remove offending content and accounts, and we report confirmed child sexual abuse material to the authorities.

Revved is offered in the Republic of South Africa. These Standards apply to everyone who uses Revved and form part of our Terms and Conditions and Community Guidelines.

2. Definitions

Child — any person under the age of 18. This is the definition used in section 28(3) of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, section 1 of the Children’s Act 38 of 2005, and section 1 of the Protection of Personal Information Act 4 of 2013.

Child Sexual Abuse and Exploitation (CSAE) — any conduct that sexually exploits, abuses, or endangers a child. This includes grooming, sextortion, trafficking a child for sexual purposes, sexualisation of a child, solicitation of a child, and the creation, possession, solicitation, or distribution of child sexual abuse material.

Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) — any visual depiction, including photographs, videos, drawings, and computer-generated or AI-generated imagery, involving a child engaged in sexually explicit conduct, or depicting a child in a manner that is sexual in nature.

3. Revved Is an Adults-Only Platform

Revved is available only to persons aged 18 or older.

• We require age confirmation at registration

• We do not knowingly permit any person under 18 to hold an account

• Where we become aware that an account holder is under 18, we close the account and delete the associated personal information

• Our app store age ratings reflect that Revved is not intended for or directed at children

This does not reduce our obligations. Content depicting or endangering children can appear on an adults-only platform, and we treat that risk as real.

4. What Is Prohibited

The following are strictly prohibited on Revved and result in immediate permanent removal:

• Creating, uploading, sharing, requesting, or linking to child sexual abuse material in any form, including drawn, animated, or AI-generated imagery

• Any sexualised depiction or description of a child, including where a real child’s image is edited or manipulated

• Grooming — building a relationship with a child for the purpose of sexual exploitation or abuse

• Sextortion — threatening to release intimate imagery of a child

• Soliciting, arranging, or facilitating sexual contact with a child

• Trafficking a child, or advertising a child for sexual purposes

• Using Revved features, including RevTag scanning, direct messaging, or event listings, to identify, contact, locate, or meet a child for any sexual or exploitative purpose

• Sharing off-platform links, contact details, or resources for the purpose of accessing or distributing CSAM

5. How We Prevent and Detect CSAE

• Age restriction. Revved is restricted to adults, with age confirmation at registration.

• Reporting. Every piece of content and every profile can be reported from within the App, and child safety reports are prioritised.

• Review. Reported content is reviewed by our team, and we act on reports as described in section 7.

• Blocking. Any member can block another member, preventing contact, content visibility, and RevTag scanning.

• Investigation. Where we identify a pattern of concerning behaviour, we investigate it whether or not it has been reported.

We expect to strengthen these measures, including the use of automated detection tools, as the platform grows. Where we make a change that materially affects how we detect or handle this content, we will update these Standards.

6. How to Report

If a child is in immediate danger, contact the South African Police Service on 10111, or your local emergency services, before contacting us.

You can report CSAE to us in the following ways:

• In the App — every post, comment, photograph, profile, direct message, vehicle, and event listing has a report option. Select the child safety category.

• By email — write to our Child Safety Point of Contact at support@joinrevved.co.za, with “Child safety” in the subject line so it is prioritised

• Through our website — using the reporting form at https://joinrevved.co.za/report

Reports are confidential. We do not disclose the identity of a reporter to the person reported. You may report anonymously, though contact details help us follow up if we need more information.

Do not download, save, copy, or forward suspected CSAM, including to us. Report the location of the content and we will retrieve and preserve it lawfully. Possession and distribution are criminal offences in South Africa even where the intention is to report.

7. What Happens When We Receive a Report

8. Reporting to Authorities

On obtaining actual knowledge of CSAM or of a sexual offence against a child, we report to:

• The South African Police Service — as required by section 54(1) of the Criminal Law (Sexual Offences and Related Matters) Amendment Act 32 of 2007, which makes it a criminal offence to fail to report knowledge of a sexual offence against a child, and section 110 of the Children’s Act 38 of 2005

• The Film and Publication Board, in terms of the Films and Publications Act 65 of 1996

• The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC), via the CyberTipline, for international referral and hash-sharing, so that the material is detected and removed elsewhere

We do not require a court order to make these reports, and we make them whether or not the reporter asks us to.

9. Legal Framework

We comply with applicable child safety laws, including:

Revved is offered in South Africa and South African law governs our obligations. We report confirmed child sexual abuse material to the South African Police Service and the Film and Publication Board as our primary channels, and additionally to NCMEC, whose CyberTipline supports international hash-sharing and referral so that material is removed from other platforms.

10. Child Safety Point of Contact

We have designated a Child Safety Point of Contact responsible for overseeing compliance with these Standards, receiving reports and enquiries, and receiving notifications from Google, Apple, law enforcement, and child protection organisations.

Child Safety Point of Contact
Revved (Pty) Ltd
Email: support@joinrevved.co.za
Postal address: 797 Hoewe Road, Rietvalleirand, Pretoria, Gauteng, 0181
Telephone: +27 65 082 2910

This address is monitored and child safety correspondence is treated as a priority.

11. Enforcement

Breach of these Standards results in:

• Immediate removal of the content

• Permanent banning of the account, without warning and without the ordinary appeals process

• Banning of any linked or associated accounts

• Preservation of evidence and referral to law enforcement

• Cooperation with any resulting investigation or prosecution

There is no first-warning tier for CSAE. Any appeal of a child safety enforcement decision must be made in writing to support@joinrevved.co.za and will be reviewed only where the member can demonstrate mistaken identity or a clear factual error.

12. Support Resources

If you or someone you know has been affected by child sexual abuse or exploitation:

• South African Police Service — 10111

• Childline South Africa — 116 (toll-free, 24 hours)

• The Film and Publication Board — https://www.fpb.org.za

• NCMEC CyberTipline — https://report.cybertip.org

13. Review

These Standards are reviewed at least annually, and whenever there is a material change to our platform, to applicable law, or to the requirements of the app stores through which Revved is distributed.
