Prevention Measures

Starra Ventures Inc. implements the following preventive measures to minimize the risk of CSAE on our platform:

1. Content monitoring: We utilize both automated systems and human review to detect and remove prohibited content.
2. User verification: We require users to be above 18 years of age to even signup for the Starra app in the first place. Any user who is under the age of 18 cannot create an account. Further, the entire system’s effectiveness hinges on accurate birth information, so providing false birth information would nullify the use case for joining the platform.
3. Education: We provide resources and information to users about online safety and the importance of reporting suspicious content or behavior.
4. Regular policy reviews: We regularly review and update our policies and procedures to address emerging threats and improve our protective measures.
