All CSAE-related incidents are treated as serious violations of Elemyntz’s Terms of Service and are subject to immediate removal, user termination, and reporting to relevant law enforcement and child protection authorities.

- Human Moderation: A specialized Trust & Safety team reviews flagged content to confirm violations and escalate cases for immediate action.
- Immediate Action: Verified CSAE content or behavior results in permanent account suspension, content removal, and mandatory reporting to NCMEC and appropriate law enforcement agencies.
