Dapster: Play Any PersonaReal people. Imagined personas.
Child Safety Standards
Effective: 29 September 2026 · Version 7.0
These are the published standards against child sexual abuse and exploitation (CSAE) for the app Dapster: Play Any Persona (Android package com.dapster.app), published on Google Play by Anandu P N.
What changed in 7.0
Added the rule that personas must always be adults (no child personas) and our text filter for profile and channel text describing a minor.
Listed every in-app place you can report, and the "Child safety concern" reason.
Explained how we report to Indian authorities under the POCSO Act, and named a child safety point of contact.
Corrected an earlier statement that a report button exists on "every profile and message"; the exact places are now listed below.
Zero tolerance. Dapster does not allow any child sexual abuse material (CSAM), any sexualisation of minors, grooming, sextortion, or any attempt to contact, exploit or harm a child. We remove it, ban the accounts involved, preserve evidence as the law requires, and report it to the authorities.
1. Adults only (18+)
Dapster is only for adults aged 18 and over. Users give their date of birth at sign-up and our server rejects anyone under 18.
Every account must also pass an automatic selfie check. This check is basic (it detects one face) and does not confirm age, so we also rely on reports and our own review.
Accounts we believe belong to someone under 18 are banned and deleted.
2. No child personas
Dapster is a persona app, but every persona must be an adult. A persona can be any adult age, gender or personality, or even an animal, but never a child.
Profiles, posts and chats must never describe, role-play, depict or sexualise anyone under 18, including in fiction, drawings or AI-generated images.
Our text filter blocks profile and channel text that describes a minor. Every text message, caption and channel post is also automatically scanned for safety risks, and authorised staff may access conversations for safety and to handle reports. Moderation can miss things, so reports matter.
3. How to report in the app
Choose the reason "Child safety concern" when you report, so our team can see straight away that it is about a child.

4. How to report by email
Email dapsterofficial@gmail.com with the subject "Child Safety", or write to our Grievance Officer. Include the Dapster ID or persona name and what you saw. Please do not send us copies of abusive images; describe them and where they are instead.
5. What we do
Remove the content and restrict or ban the accounts involved.
Preserve evidence as the law requires before the account is deleted.
Report to the authorities. As required by sections 19 to 21 of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, 2012, we report child sexual abuse material and child sexual abuse to Indian authorities: the National Cybercrime Reporting Portal (cybercrime.gov.in), the cybercrime helpline 1930, or the local police.
Where applicable, we also report to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC).
Cooperate with law enforcement investigations, including by providing information under lawful orders.
Delete the account afterwards as described on Delete your account, keeping hashed identifiers so the person cannot sign up again.
6. Compliance with the law
We comply with applicable child safety laws, including the POCSO Act, 2012, the Information Technology Act, 2000 (including section 67B), the IT Rules, 2021, and the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023. We also follow Google Play's Child Safety Standards policy.
