Scope and Audience.
Aspirenet is a social network for creators and brands, available on iOS and Android. People can create profiles, publish work to a Showcase, form Links, take part in Collabs, and communicate through the app.
The service is intended only for people aged 18 or older. During onboarding, the app asks for a date of birth and checks that the user is at least 18. Aspirenet does not market the service to children.
The age restriction does not reduce our duty to prevent child sexual abuse and exploitation, known as CSAE, or to act when we learn about child sexual abuse material, known as CSAM.

How to Report a Concern.
Report Inside Aspirenet
Open Chat Settings for an existing private conversation and choose Report. You can select harassment or bullying, spam or scam, impersonation, inappropriate content, threat or safety concern, or another reason. You can also add details.
The report includes recent conversation context and identifies the reporter and reported user to Aspirenet. Reports are not anonymous to Aspirenet.
Report by Email
Email aspirenetcontact@gmail.com. Include the username or profile link, what happened, and where it appeared. You may attach screenshots if it is safe and lawful to do so.
Do Not Redistribute CSAM
Do not download, copy, forward, or include suspected CSAM in an email report. Identify where it appears so Aspirenet or the proper authorities can handle it.
Report Outside Aspirenet
Anyone in India can also report online child sexual abuse material through the Government of India's National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal. The portal supports anonymous reporting for specified women and child related cybercrime complaints.
Controls Available to Users.
Aspirenet gives users direct controls to limit unwanted contact and manage their account.
| Control | Where to Find It | What It Does |
|---|---|---|
| Block | Chat Settings | Ends the Link, prevents direct messaging, hides the conversation, and limits suggestions. |
| Report | Chat Settings or safety email | Sends a private-conversation concern with recent context, or accepts reports about profiles and content by email. |
| Manage Links | Link requests and existing Links | Rejects a request or removes an existing Link. |
| Delete Your Account | Settings | Starts removal of the profile, Links, conversations, messages, media, and account data, subject to legal retention duties. |
How Aspirenet Responds.
In-app reports are delivered to Aspirenet's moderation contact with the selected reason, optional details, account information, and recent conversation evidence. Email reports go to the same published safety contact.
Aspirenet assesses reported conduct against these standards and the Terms and Conditions. We may restrict, suspend, or terminate an account and remove access to prohibited content where it is within our control.
When Aspirenet obtains actual knowledge of CSAM, we will act in line with these standards and applicable law. This includes removing access where the material is within our control and reporting confirmed material to the relevant regional authority when required. We may preserve information needed for a lawful request or legal reporting duty.
A report made in bad faith, including a report intended to harass another user, may itself lead to action under Aspirenet's Terms and Conditions.
Children's Privacy.
Aspirenet is not intended for anyone under 18 and does not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we learn that a child has created an account or provided personal information, we will investigate and take steps to close the account and delete the information, subject to any legal duty to preserve it.
A parent or guardian who believes a child has used Aspirenet can contact aspirenetcontact@gmail.com or use our support form. Please provide enough information to identify the account. We may ask for information needed to verify the request.
Law Enforcement and Contact.
Aspirenet complies with applicable child safety laws and responds to valid legal process. Authorized law enforcement officers can contact aspirenetcontact@gmail.com and should include their agency, jurisdiction, case reference, official contact details, and the legal basis and scope of the request.
This page is Aspirenet's public standard against CSAE. It is designed to meet the published-standards requirement in Google Play's Child Safety Standards policy. The app's in-product reporting process and designated child safety contact support the related operational requirements.
