6. Reporting to Authorities
6.1 NCMEC Reporting

6.2 Law Enforcement Cooperation
We cooperate with law enforcement agencies investigating child exploitation, including:
- Responding to lawful legal process (subpoenas, court orders, search warrants)
- Preserving evidence when required by law or when we believe a child is in imminent danger
- Providing available data to assist investigations (limited to data we cache on our servers)
6.3 International Reporting
For users and violations outside the United States:

- UK: Reports may be referred to the Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) and National Crime Agency (NCA)
- Australia: Reports may be referred to the Australian Federal Police and eSafety Commissioner
- Other jurisdictions: NCMEC coordinates with INTERPOL and local law enforcement globally
7. Data Preservation
When we identify potential child safety violations:
- We preserve all available evidence, including cached post content, author information, timestamps, and report metadata
- Preserved data is stored securely and shared only with law enforcement and NCMEC as required by law
- We retain preserved data for the period required by applicable law
8. Parental Resources
