Safety

People on Navori create their own plans and decide which ones to join. Meeting someone new is your call. Here is what helps you make it a good one, and what we do on our side.

Before you meet someone

None of this is unique to Navori: it is what anyone sensible does the first time. It is worth saying out loud anyway.

• Meet somewhere public the first time. A café, a park, a busy trailhead. Save the quiet places for later.
• Tell someone where you are going. A friend, a flatmate, anyone. Include when you expect to be back.
• Keep talking in the app until you are comfortable. There is no rush to move to another number or another platform.
• Arrange your own way there and back. Being able to leave whenever you want changes everything.
• If it feels wrong, leave. You do not owe anyone an explanation, and you do not need a reason that would sound good to someone else.

What we do

• Every photo is checked before anyone sees it. Images are screened automatically on upload: profile pictures and anything shared in a chat.
• We review serious reports ourselves. Anything involving physical or sexual harm, threats, stalking or anyone under 18 is never decided by automation alone.
• Emergency numbers travel with you. The right police, ambulance and fire numbers for the country you are in, available without a signal and without searching for them at the worst moment.
• You see where a link goes. Links shared in chat are shown in full before you open them, with a warning when an address is not what it appears to be.
• Blocking is one tap and takes effect everywhere. Activities, chats and search, all at once. The other person is not told.

If something goes wrong

You can report a message, a photo, an activity or a person from the screen you are on: look for the report option. Tell us what happened in your own words; you do not need to know which rule was broken.

We tell you what we decided. The person you reported is never told who reported them. If we take action against something of yours, we tell you which rule it broke and what changes, and you can appeal every decision once in the app, in Settings › Account status. Our Terms of Use explain the restrictions.

No app? Anyone can report illegal content on Navori at navori.app/report. You can also write to us directly at safety@navori.app.

Child safety standards

Updated 20 October 2026

Our position

Navori is an activity meetup app for adults. It is for people aged 18 and over. Nobody under 18 is allowed to use it.

We have zero tolerance for child sexual abuse and exploitation (CSAE). This page sets out what we do about it, and how to reach us.

Reporting to us

Child safety contact: safety@navori.app

This address is monitored and is the fastest way to reach us about a child safety concern. You do not need a Navori account to use it, and you do not need to report through the app first.

If you believe a child is in immediate danger, contact your local emergency services first. The app also lists emergency numbers by country under Settings → Emergency numbers, available without reporting anyone.

In the app. Any message, photo, profile, post or activity can be reported from the screen where you see it. Reports that concern anyone under 18 are reviewed by us, never decided by automation alone.

Without the app. Anyone can report at navori.app/report. For child sexual abuse or exploitation you don't have to give your name or email. Please don't send us any images: we will never ask for them.

How we keep under-18s off Navori

Age is collected at sign-up. Every account gives a date of birth during onboarding. Accounts that do not meet the 18+ threshold are not created. The date of birth itself is never shown to anyone; a member may choose to display their age (a number) on their profile, which is set to followers only by default and can be turned off in Settings.

Signals during use. If someone says something that indicates they are under 18, that account is put on hold and we review it.

The trigger is a verified quote, not a guess. A hold is only placed when there is an actual sentence written by that user that indicates they are a minor, and the exact wording is checked on our servers before any action is taken. We do not suspend accounts because a profile photo "looks young" or on the basis of any automated estimate of appearance or age.

Holds last until we decide. An age hold is not a timed penalty. It stays until we lift it or confirm it.

We do not ask for identity documents. We do not collect them, we cannot accept them, and the appeal screen says so. Asking a suspected minor to send identity documents or photographs of themselves would create the exact risk we are trying to prevent.

We decide appeals ourselves. The account holder is shown the exact sentence that triggered the hold and given a direct way to write to us. If we got it wrong, the hold is lifted.

Suspended accounts cannot simply restart. When an account is suspended for being under 18, we keep a one-way signature of its email address so it cannot be recreated immediately. For age holds this signature does not expire.

How we handle CSAE material

Every uploaded photo is checked before anyone can see it. The check runs on our servers, so a modified app cannot skip it. Each photo is first compared with known material (below), using only a short fingerprint of it. A photo that passes is then checked for explicit content by an image safety provider, and content that fails is blocked at upload. A smaller model on the uploader's own device also scores each photo; the scores are kept with the photo and used if it is reported, but the model never acts against anyone on its own: a rejection, a warning, or a suspension only ever comes from our servers or from our review.

Known material is blocked before anyone sees it. Navori accesses Shield by Project Arachnid (projectarachnid.ca), a program of the Canadian Centre for Child Protection Inc., to facilitate the detection and removal of child sexual abuse material and harmful-abusive material of children and survivors of child sexual abuse on its services. Only a short digital fingerprint of each photo leaves our servers for this check, never the photo. A photo that matches is blocked and never shown, the evidence is preserved, and we review the case.

Reported images are never sent anywhere for judgement. When an image is reported as sexual, it is not sent to any outside service. We decide using the check that was made when it was uploaded and, where needed, our own review. We look at images reported for child sexual abuse only blurred, and every view is logged.

Some reported images are hidden from everyone at once. If an image is reported as sexual content involving a child and the check made when it was uploaded shows any sign of explicit content, it is hidden from everyone immediately, before our review.

Reports mentioning minors are never auto-dismissed. We review every one of them ourselves.

Evidence is preserved. When a report is filed, the content is copied into a closed evidence store and hash-chained so it cannot be silently altered or deleted afterwards, including by the person who posted it, and including if they delete their account. Reported images cannot be deleted by the person who uploaded them.

If we find apparent CSAE material, we remove it, close the account for good, preserve the evidence, and report it to the relevant authorities as required by law. Our report includes a case code that starts with NVR1-, so the authority can link its requests to the case through navori.app/report.

Our team

Reports about children are at the top of our queue, with a 7-day limit, and every time a report's evidence is opened it is recorded: who opened it, when, and why. Access to reported content is limited to people doing safety review.

Standards we hold ourselves to

• Navori is 18+ and enforced as such.
• No CSAE content, contact, or solicitation of any kind.
• No grooming behaviour, and no attempts to move a minor to another platform.
• Accounts found to be engaged in CSAE are removed, not warned.
• We do not require, request, or store identity documents from anyone, including suspected minors.

For authorities

Law enforcement, courts and regulators can send official requests at navori.app/report, with the official letter as a PDF and an official email address. We verify every request by calling back before we act or share any data, and we reply from safety@navori.app.

When we report a case to the authorities, our report includes a case code that starts with NVR1-. Paste it into the form and your request is linked to that case. The code opens nothing on its own.

safety@navori.app is our single point of contact under Articles 11 and 12 of the EU Digital Services Act. We answer in English or Turkish.

Your data

Safety and privacy are the same conversation. Our Privacy Policy explains what we collect, who else sees it and how long we keep it, including what happens to reports and evidence. You can delete your account at any time.
