Zellany is for people 18 and older. Child sexual abuse material is never allowed. If you see any, tap Report and choose Child safety. Do not save, copy or share it.

18 and over

  • You confirm "I am 18 or older" when you join.
  • If we find an account of someone under 18, we close it.
  • If you think you are dealing with a child, stop and report it.
  • Parents: if your child used Zellany, write to help@zellany.com.

What is never allowed

  • Child sexual abuse material: pictures, videos, text or links, anywhere on Zellany. That means items, photos, chats, profiles and ratings.
  • Anything that sells, offers, hires or uses a child.
  • Contacting a child for sex or for secret meetings.
  • Photos of children's faces or bodies in posts for kids' things. Show the item.

How to report

  1. Tap Report on the item, video, profile, chat or message.
  2. Choose Child safety.
  3. Send it.

Do not save, copy or forward the material, even to prove it. Use the Report button only. You can also tell the police.

What happens

  • A video or a profile reported for child safety is hidden at once.
  • Every child-safety report goes first in our queue.
  • Our rule is to remove or block the material within 24 hours of a notice, and to report it to the Department of Justice within 3 days.
  • We keep the evidence safe, as the law requires.
  • If it is confirmed, we close the account. A Boost on the item stops.
  • You are not named to the person you reported.

Photos of children

Take extra care. Do not post a child's full name, school or address.

What we cannot promise

We cannot see every post. Reports help us act. Please report.

The full policy is at Child-safety policy.
