These are the published child safety standards of the app The Pending Community & Jobs, operated by The Pending GmbH. The Pending Community & Jobs prohibits child sexual abuse and exploitation (CSAE) and child sexual abuse material (CSAM) in every part of the service.
Child safety
The Pending prohibits child sexual abuse and exploitation, including grooming, sexual extortion, trafficking for sexual exploitation and child sexual abuse material, whether real or generated. This applies throughout the service, including private messages. The requirement to be 18 or older does not limit these protections.
Use an in-app content or profile report, or contact report@thepending.app. Identify the account, content location and concern. Do not download, copy or send suspected illegal material to make a report. If someone is in immediate danger, contact the emergency services where they are.
We prioritise child-safety reports, review the relevant facts and restrict access to prohibited material. We may restrict or terminate accounts involved in abuse. A report alone is not a finding against a member. Necessary evidence is held separately with restricted access, a documented lawful purpose and review dates; the Privacy Policy explains retention. We promptly report qualifying suspicions to the competent law-enforcement or judicial authority where the law requires it. In Germany, the BKA is a designated receiving authority. We provide reasons and review options as required by law, without exposing the reporter's identity or restricted material.
Our child-safety contacts are Niklas Kornel and Tim Kriegler, The Pending GmbH, at report@thepending.app.
This is the Child safety section of our Community Guidelines, version 11 November 2026.
