FreeVoice — the website freevoice.app and the FreeVoice app for Android — is free voice rooms for you and your people, run by one person. FreeVoice has zero tolerance for child sexual abuse and exploitation (CSAE). This page says what is never allowed, how to report it, and what happens when you do.
Zero tolerance for child sexual abuse and exploitation
Child sexual abuse and exploitation is never allowed on FreeVoice, in any room and in any form. That includes:
- Sharing, asking for or linking to child sexual abuse material (CSAM): any sexual image, video, recording or other content involving someone under 18
- Grooming: making contact with a child, or building their trust, in order to sexually abuse or exploit them — including trying to move the conversation somewhere else
- Sexual talk with someone under 18, or asking them for sexual images or acts
- Sextortion: threatening or pressuring a child with sexual images or information
- Trafficking a child, or offering or advertising a child, for sexual purposes
- Anything that sexualises children, including drawings, games and AI-generated material
This covers everything on FreeVoice: voice, chat messages, screen shares, names, avatars, usernames and links. Breaking it means losing access to FreeVoice, and it is reported to the authorities (below).
Features for meeting new people are 18+ only
FreeVoice rooms are for people you invite: only someone with the link can join. Two optional features are for meeting people you do not know — Talk to strangers, and rooms whose owner lets strangers join. They are only for people aged 18 and over. Before using them, everyone has to confirm that they are 18 or older, and FreeVoice does not let anyone in without that confirmation. Anyone reported as being under 18 in them is removed and kept out.
How to report
If a child is in immediate danger, call your local police or emergency number first.
- Report a person. In a room, open the menu on the person's tile and choose Report. Pick the reason that fits: "Sexual content", "Illegal content or links", or, in a Talk to strangers room, "Seems to be under 18". The report includes that person's recent chat messages from the room, so it can still be acted on after they leave, and it blocks them for you at the same time unless you untick that.
- Block. Blocking someone means the two of you can no longer hear or reach each other in any room, and they see nothing about you.
- Remove and ban, if it is your room. A room owner can remove anyone from their room and ban them from coming back.
- Tell me directly. The 🚩 button in a room, or a chat message that starts with
/report, reaches me and nobody else in the room. - By email, at [email protected]. You do not need to use FreeVoice to write. Include the room link or code, the time, the name the person used and what happened.
Please never send me, or anyone, the abusive material itself, not even as evidence — describe it and say where you saw it.
What happens to a report
- I read every report myself, and reports about children come first.
- When a report shows that someone is under 18 in a feature for adults, or that a child is being put at risk, I remove the person and ban their device and network from FreeVoice, and can close the room.
- When a report points to child sexual abuse material or the exploitation of a child, I keep the report and the evidence that came with it, instead of letting it be deleted after the usual 90 days, and report it to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) and to the relevant law-enforcement authorities, as the law requires.
- I answer lawful requests from law enforcement about a report.
- The person you report is never told who reported them.
What FreeVoice can and cannot see
Calls go directly between the people in a room and are encrypted, so I cannot listen to calls, watch screen shares or read chat while it happens, and nothing is recorded. That is why reports matter: a report is how a problem reaches me, with the person's recent chat messages attached. What FreeVoice collects is described in the privacy policy, and the rules for everyone are in the terms.
Laws
FreeVoice complies with the child-safety laws that apply to it, including the duty to report child sexual abuse material to the authorities, and these standards will change when those laws do.
Child-safety contact
FreeVoice's point of contact for child safety is the person who runs FreeVoice. Write to [email protected] about anything on this page — whether you use FreeVoice, are a parent, or work for Google Play or law enforcement.
