Executive Summary

This document constitutes the Published Standards for España Decide (also known as Spain Decides), developed by App To Last, regarding Child Sexual Abuse and Exploitation (CSAE) content. We maintain a strict zero-tolerance policy against any content depicting, promoting, or facilitating child sexual abuse or exploitation.

1. Our Zero Tolerance Commitment

España Decide (Spain Decides), published by App To Last on the Google Play Store under the package name com.apptolast.spaindecides, expressly prohibits all forms of child sexual abuse and exploitation (CSAE) content on our platform.

We strictly prohibit:

  • Any sexual content involving minors (persons under 18 years of age)
  • Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) in any form
  • Content that sexualizes minors
  • Grooming behavior or solicitation of minors for sexual purposes
  • Content that promotes, glorifies, or facilitates child exploitation
  • Distribution, sharing, or storage of any imagery depicting child abuse
  • Any content defined as CSAE by applicable laws, Google Play policies, and international standards

This policy applies to all user-generated content within España Decide, including but not limited to proposals, comments, user profiles, and any other content submitted by users.

2. In-App Reporting Mechanism

España Decide provides multiple accessible methods for users to report content that may violate our child safety standards:

2.1 In-App Report Feature

Every piece of user-generated content (proposal) within España Decide includes a clearly visible Report button (flag icon). Users can:

  1. Tap the flag icon on any proposal
  2. Select a report reason, including "Child Sexual Abuse and Exploitation (CSAE)" as a dedicated option
  3. Submit the report immediately

2.2 Email Reporting

Users can report CSAE content directly via email to our Child Safety Point of Contact:

Email: admin@apptolast.com
Subject line should include: "CSAE Report - España Decide - URGENT"

2.3 Report Acknowledgment

All reports are logged with timestamps and automatically routed to our moderation team for review.

3. Our Response Process for CSAE/CSAM

When we identify or receive a report of potential CSAE/CSAM content on España Decide, we follow this strict process:

3.1 Immediate Actions

  1. Immediate Content Removal: Any content identified or credibly reported as CSAE/CSAM is removed from public visibility immediately, within 24 hours of identification or report
  2. Account Suspension: The account responsible for posting the content is immediately suspended pending investigation
