Child Safety Policy

Our Commitment to Child Safety

At TruHive, we have zero tolerance for child sexual abuse and exploitation (CSAE). We are committed to providing a safe, secure, and trusted environment for all users, with special attention to protecting minors. Our platform is designed with child safety as a fundamental priority, and we continuously work to maintain the highest standards of protection against CSAE.

This policy outlines our approach to preventing, detecting, and responding to CSAE content and behavior on our platform. As a Canadian company, we adhere to all applicable Canadian laws regarding child protection, including the Criminal Code of Canada and the Canadian Human Rights Act.

Prohibited Content and Behavior

• Sexualization or sexual exploitation of minors
• Content that depicts, promotes, or normalizes sexual activity involving minors
• Grooming behavior targeting minors
• Human trafficking, particularly of minors
• Any attempt to use our platform to harm children

Any account or user found to be engaging in such activities will be immediately terminated, reported to the appropriate authorities, and all relevant information will be preserved for law enforcement.
