CHILD SAFETY & PROTECTION POLICY
Omera App
Operated by Simmer Dating Ltd
Last updated: 20 February 2026
1. Platform Audience and Commitment to Child Safety
Simmer Dating Ltd ("we", "us", "our") operates Omera, a food-focused dating and social events mobile application.
We are committed to maintaining a safe environment for all users and to preventing the exploitation, abuse, or endangerment of children.
Omera is designed exclusively for adults aged 18 and over and is not directed toward children.
We do not target, market to, or knowingly allow access to individuals under the age of 18.
We implement proactive and reactive safety measures designed to prevent minors from accessing the platform and to remove underage users if detected.
These measures are implemented in accordance with applicable UK law, including the Online Safety Act 2023, UK GDPR, and the Data Protection Act 2018.
2. Age Restriction (18+ Only)
Omera is strictly restricted to individuals aged 18 years or older.
By creating an account, users confirm that they are at least 18 years old.
Minors are strictly prohibited from:
creating accounts
accessing the application
using any features or services
interacting with other users
attending Omera events
We enforce our 18+ policy through proportionate age assurance and safety measures.
3. Age Assurance and Prevention Measures
We implement multiple safeguards designed to reduce the risk of minors accessing the platform.
These include:
Mandatory age declaration: Users must provide their date of birth during account creation.
Phone number authentication: Users must verify their account using a valid mobile phone number via SMS verification.
Third-party authentication providers: Users may authenticate using trusted third-party login providers such as Apple, Google, or Facebook, which provide additional account integrity safeguards.
Proactive safety monitoring: We use automated systems designed to detect suspicious behaviour, account inconsistencies, or signals indicating potential underage access.
Manual moderation and review: Flagged accounts are reviewed by authorised personnel and investigated where appropriate.
These measures are designed to prevent minors from accessing Omera and to maintain platform safety.
4. Detection and Removal of Underage Users
If we determine or reasonably suspect that a user is under 18 years of age, we will take immediate action.
This may include:
removal of access to the platform
immediate suspension or permanent termination of the account
deletion of personal data in accordance with applicable law
prevention of future account creation
We may retain minimal technical information where necessary to prevent repeated attempts to bypass safety measures.
5. Zero Tolerance for Child Sexual Exploitation and Abuse
Omera has a strict zero-tolerance policy for child sexual exploitation, abuse, or grooming.
We strictly prohibit:
any attempt to contact minors
grooming behaviour
sexual content involving minors
exploitation or coercion of minors
impersonation of minors
sharing or threatening to share sexual or exploitative content involving minors
any conduct that violates UK child protection laws
Any violation of this policy will result in immediate enforcement action, including permanent account removal.
Where required, we will report illegal activity to law enforcement authorities.
6. Moderation, Detection, and Enforcement Measures
We maintain proportionate systems and processes designed to detect, prevent, and address harmful or illegal activity.
These include:
proactive and reactive moderation systems
automated detection tools, including behavioural, image, and content monitoring signals
user reporting mechanisms
manual review of reported accounts and content
account suspension and removal procedures
We reserve the right to suspend, restrict, or permanently remove accounts that violate this policy or present a safety risk.
These measures are designed to comply with the UK Online Safety Act 2023 and applicable safety regulations.
7. User Reporting and Safety Tools
Omera provides mechanisms for users to report safety concerns.
Users can:
report profiles or content within the app
block other users
contact us directly via email
Reports are reviewed by authorised personnel.
We take appropriate action, which may include:
content removal
account suspension
permanent account termination
referral to law enforcement authorities where required
8. Cooperation with Law Enforcement and Regulatory Authorities
Simmer Dating Ltd complies with applicable UK laws and regulations.
Where legally required or where necessary to prevent serious harm, we may:
preserve relevant information
disclose information to law enforcement authorities
cooperate with regulatory authorities
assist with lawful investigations
This includes compliance with the Online Safety Act 2023 and related legal obligations.
9. Data Protection and Children
We do not knowingly collect or process personal data from individuals under the age of 18.
If we discover that personal data from a minor has been collected, we will:
terminate the associated account
delete the personal data
prevent further access
This is carried out in accordance with UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.
10. User Safety Responsibility
While we implement safety systems, users are responsible for their own conduct and interactions.
We encourage users to:
report suspicious or inappropriate behaviour
exercise caution when interacting with others
follow safe practices when attending events
We reserve the right to take enforcement action to protect platform safety.
