Child Safety Standards & CSAE Prohibition Policy

1. Scope & Core Child Safety Principles

This Child Safety Standard applies to all users, creators, instructors, merchants, and visitors of the Siraj Islam mobile application (Android / iOS) and associated web services operated by Siraj Islam. Children are a sacred trust (Amanah). We are dedicated to providing a secure, uplifting, and wholesome digital environment that fosters Islamic learning while vigorously protecting minors from any potential digital harm, exploitation, or abuse.

2. Prohibition of Child Sexual Abuse and Exploitation (CSAE)

Under no circumstances does Siraj Islam tolerate any activity that compromises the safety, innocence, or dignity of children. Prohibited activities include, but are not limited to:

• Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM): Uploading, generating, sharing, possessing, linking to, or transmitting any visual, audio, or textual media depicting child sexual abuse or exploitation.
• Child Grooming & Predatory Communications: Contacting, enticing, soliciting, or grooming minors for sexual purposes or inappropriate emotional relationships.
• Sexualization of Minors: Sharing sexually suggestive content, remarks, or media involving individuals under the age of 18.
• Child Sextortion & Trafficking: Blackmail, coercion, trafficking, or commercial sexual exploitation targeting children.

3. Detection, Incident Response & Law Enforcement Escalation

Siraj Islam employs proactive content moderation, automated filtering, and user reporting mechanisms to identify and eliminate prohibited content:

• Immediate Triage & Removal: Any reported CSAE or CSAM content is immediately quarantined and removed from the platform within minutes of notification.
• Account Suspension & Preservation: Violating accounts are permanently terminated, and digital audit logs are securely preserved for investigative purposes.
• Mandatory Law Enforcement Reporting: We promptly report all CSAE/CSAM violations and perpetrator details to relevant national authorities (Tanzania Police Force Cyber Crime Unit, TCRA) and international bodies including the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC).

4. Zero Targeted Advertising & Data Privacy for Children

In strict compliance with the Google Play Families Policy and the Tanzania Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA 2022):

• We do not collect behavioral tracking data or build marketing profiles on children.
• We enforce a zero-behavioral-advertising policy; no third-party targeted ads are displayed to minors.
• Location data (GPS) is processed on-device exclusively for prayer calculations and Qibla orientation, and is never logged or sold.

5. Curated Islamic Education & Safe Interactions

All educational lessons, Qur'an recitations, and Islamic stories suitable for young learners are verified by certified Tanzanian Islamic educators (Asatidhah) to ensure age-appropriate, compassionate, and family-friendly teachings. Children under 18 cannot create commercial merchant accounts without verified parental/guardian authorization.
