Child Safety Standards

Our standards against child sexual abuse and exploitation (CSAE).

Last updated: July 2026

These standards apply to the The Dinner Club mobile app and to thedinnerclub.eu, operated by The Dinner Club, registered in Amsterdam, the Netherlands (KvK number: 42206814).

Zero tolerance for CSAE

The Dinner Club has zero tolerance for child sexual abuse and exploitation (CSAE). We prohibit any content or behaviour that sexualises, exploits, endangers, or grooms a minor — in profiles, dinner listings, reviews, messages, or at any dinner arranged through the platform. Child sexual abuse material (CSAM) is illegal and is never tolerated in any form.

An adults-only platform

The Dinner Club is exclusively for adults. Every account must pass a date-of-birth check confirming the user is 18 or older before completing sign-up, enforced both in the app and on our servers. If we become aware of an account belonging to someone under 18, we remove it.

In-app reporting and blocking

Anyone can report a profile, dinner, or review directly in the app using the Report option (reasons include harassment, safety concern, and inappropriate content), and can block any user. Reports are confidential and go straight to our moderation team.

Enforcement

Every report is reviewed by our moderation team, which can remove content, warn, suspend, or permanently ban accounts. Where a report involves suspected CSAE, we act immediately: the account is removed from the platform, relevant evidence is preserved, and the case is reported to the appropriate authorities and law enforcement.

Compliance with child safety laws

We comply with applicable child safety laws, including our obligations to report child sexual abuse material to the relevant authorities, and we cooperate with lawful requests from law enforcement.
