Pixies Digital Ltd T/A Pixie (“Pixie”) is committed to providing a safe, inclusive, and age-appropriate social networking environment for our users. Protecting children and ensuring responsible age verification is mandatory under UK law, including the UK Age-Appropriate Design Code, Online Safety Act, and UK GDPR.

This policy outlines our approach to child safety, age assurance, content moderation, and user protection on the Pixie platform.

1. About Pixie

Pixie is a social networking platform built to connect, support, and celebrate the LGBTQ+ community. We are focused on creating a space that is authentic, inclusive, and safe, where users can express themselves while knowing that safety is our top priority.

As part of Pixies Digital Ltd T/A Pixie, we take our legal obligations seriously and have implemented robust measures to prevent underage access.

2. Age Verification Policy

• Pixie is strictly an 18+ platform.

• All users must verify their age during registration through a trusted third-party age verification provider (e.g., YOTI).

• Age verification ensures that underage individuals cannot create an account or access the platform.

• Users who fail or bypass verification are denied access and their attempts are logged for security purposes.

3. Child Safety Measures

Pixie implements comprehensive safety measures to protect all users, especially to prevent underage usage:

1. AI-Powered Moderation: Our platform uses advanced AI systems to detect and flag content that may be inappropriate, harmful, or unsafe.

2. Human Oversight: A dedicated safety team reviews flagged content to ensure accurate enforcement of our guidelines.

3. Reporting Mechanisms: Users can report inappropriate behavior, harassment, or content. All reports are reviewed promptly, and action is taken where necessary.

4. Restricted Communication: Users failing age verification are blocked from messaging, posting, or interacting on the platform.

4. Data Protection and Privacy

• Pixie collects personal data only for the purposes of age verification, account security, and platform safety.

• All personal data is processed in compliance with UK GDPR, stored securely, and never shared with third parties without consent, except as legally required.

• Age verification data is stored separately and is subject to strict access controls.

5. Education and Awareness

While Pixie is an 18+ platform, we are committed to broader digital safety awareness:

• We provide guidance for parents, guardians, and educators on online safety and LGBTQ+ digital wellbeing.

• Resources on responsible social media usage and reporting mechanisms are available on our website.

6. Policy Review and Updates

Pixie regularly reviews and updates its Child Safety and Age Assurance Policies to reflect:

• New legal requirements in the UK

• Advances in technology and AI moderation

• Emerging best practices in online safety and child protection

All changes are communicated clearly on our website to ensure transparency.
