Parental Control Guide

A guide for parents on how ChatHindi works, what protections exist, and how to help your child use it safely.

Last updated: January 2025

✅ Our Commitment to Young Users

ChatHindi is designed for users 13 and above. We take the safety of younger users seriously and have built multiple layers of protection into the platform.

Age Requirements

ChatHindi's minimum age requirement is 13 years, in line with the Information Technology (Amendment) Act 2008 and international standards including COPPA and GDPR. Users under 13 should not create accounts. If you believe a child under 13 has registered, please contact us immediately at support@chathindi.in and we will remove the account.

Built-In Safety Features

✓ Admin Moderation ✓ Ignore / Block ✓ DM Controls ✓ Message Deletion ✓ Report System ✓ Room Moderation

1. Admin Moderation

ChatHindi has human administrators who can delete messages, ban users, and remove inappropriate content. Admins can see all public room conversations for moderation purposes. We act on all reports within 24 hours.

2. Ignore / Block

Any user can block another user with one tap. Once blocked, the blocked user's messages are completely hidden — they cannot see that they have been blocked, and they cannot contact the person who blocked them.

3. Private Message Controls

Users can set their DM (Direct Message) settings to:

We recommend parents advise their children to set DMs to "Friends only" or "Nobody".

4. Report System

Users can report inappropriate content or behaviour using the report feature in the app, or by emailing support@chathindi.in.
