Child Safety Standards

Last updated: June 23, 2026

Atlas by SigmaTools, LLC has zero tolerance for child sexual abuse and exploitation (CSAE), including child sexual abuse material (CSAM). Atlas is intended for people aged 13 and older. This page describes how we prevent, detect, report, and respond to CSAE on our platform, and how anyone can report a concern to us.

Our standards

  • We prohibit any content, conduct, or contact that sexualizes, exploits, or endangers a minor. Accounts involved are permanently banned.
  • Every uploaded image is scanned by an automated explicit-content classifier before it can be shown to anyone, and uncertain or flagged images are held for human review. Rejected content is removed, and accounts that repeatedly or egregiously upload prohibited imagery are suspended or banned.
  • We strip location and other embedded metadata from uploaded photos and re-encode them.
  • We ask for date of birth at sign-up (including for sign-ins through Apple or Google) and block account creation for anyone under 13. Accounts that self-report as under 18 are kept private and non-discoverable.

Reporting and response

  • We report apparent CSAM to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) CyberTipline as required by U.S. law (18 U.S.C. 2258A), preserve the associated evidence as required by law (generally at least 90 days), ban the account, and cooperate with law enforcement.
  • In the app, you can report any image or account from its report control; child-safety reports are treated as our highest priority.
  • NCMEC, other hotlines, and the public can also notify us directly at abuse@sigmatools.io, which is actively monitored. This is our designated point of contact for child-safety concerns. You can also report suspected child sexual exploitation directly to NCMEC at report.cybertip.org.
