Phuzzles has a zero-tolerance policy for child sexual abuse and exploitation (CSAE).
This page describes our standards, prohibited content, and how to report violations.
Effective: January 1, 2025
Our Commitment
Zero-tolerance policy
Rebel Studios, the developer of Phuzzles, is unequivocally opposed to child sexual
abuse and exploitation in any form. We do not allow, facilitate, or tolerate content,
behaviour, or communication that sexualises, exploits, or endangers minors anywhere
on our platform.
Any account found to have engaged in CSAE will be permanently banned immediately,
reported to the appropriate authorities, and reported to the
National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) as required by US law.

What is strictly prohibited
The following are absolutely forbidden on Phuzzles under all circumstances:
Child sexual abuse material (CSAM) of any kind, including images, video, or illustrated content
Sending, receiving, or storing sexually explicit content involving a minor
Grooming behaviour — using the app to build trust with a minor for the purpose of exploitation
Soliciting sexual content or contact from anyone under the age of 18
Sharing personal information (address, school, location) of a minor without parental consent

Users can report any contact or received puzzle directly within the app
All reports are reviewed and accounts engaging in prohibited behaviour are permanently banned
Puzzle images are stored in Firebase Storage with access controlled by authenticated user rules — content is not publicly browsable
We do not knowingly permit children under 13 to create accounts, consistent with COPPA requirements
Account deletion permanently removes all associated content from our systems
