Statement on the Protection of Children
Christian Connection believes it is a priority that children are kept safe online. This means showing special consideration to ensuring underage users cannot join our site, and taking measures to ensure any content which may be particularly harmful to younger people is not present.
Christian Connection prohibits anyone under the age of 18 from using the site. Moderation of all uploaded photos and profile content is used to ensure no one under this age is able to create and use an account.
Any member suspected of being under 18 will be required to verify their account using official photographic identification.
Members of the site are encouraged to report any concerns that someone may be under 18 to us, using the report option on member's profiles and inbox messages or by reaching out to our helpdesk directly. Reports are subject to swift review by our moderation team.
