Age and Minors Policy

Last updated: October 6, 2026

1. Age Restriction -- Adults Only (18+)

HelloCrush, operated by SRE Capital Investments SAS (NIT 901733207), is a platform exclusively for adults. Access to and use of any service offered by HelloCrush is strictly restricted to persons who are 18 years of age or older, or the age of majority in their jurisdiction, whichever is higher.

The platform contains AI-generated conversations and content, including text, images, voice notes, and video clips, that may involve mature romantic and suggestive themes intended for adults. Although HelloCrush does not offer sexually explicit content, these themes are not suitable for minors under any circumstances.

2. Colombian Legal Framework

HelloCrush operates in compliance with current Colombian legislation regarding the protection of children and adolescents:

Ley 1098 de 2006 -- Code of Childhood and Adolescence

Establishes the substantive and procedural rules for the comprehensive protection of children and adolescents. HelloCrush recognizes that persons under 18 are subjects of special protection and that any exposure of minors to content intended for adults constitutes a serious violation of their fundamental rights.

Ley 1336 de 2009 -- Protection Against Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children

Supplements Ley 679 de 2001 and strengthens protection measures against the commercial sexual exploitation of children and adolescents (known as ESCNNA in Colombia). This law reinforces the obligations of digital platform operators regarding prevention and reporting.

Ley 679 de 2001 -- Prevention of Sexual Exploitation of Minors

Establishes measures to prevent and counter the exploitation, pornography, and sexual tourism involving minors. HelloCrush fully adheres to the obligations established by this law and has active prevention and reporting mechanisms in place.

3. International Legal Framework

HelloCrush also complies with applicable international regulations for the protection of minors in the jurisdictions where it operates:

United States

HelloCrush complies with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), which prohibits the collection of data from children under 13. Additionally, we recognize state laws that, where applicable, require age verification for access to certain online content and services, including legislation in Louisiana, Utah, Virginia, Texas, Mississippi, Arkansas, and other states that have adopted similar measures. Where state law requires it, we will implement additional age verification mechanisms.

European Union

In accordance with the Digital Services Act (DSA -- Regulation (EU) 2022/2065), HelloCrush implements measures to protect minors online, including not directing content intended for adults to minors. We also respect the minimum age of digital consent established by each Member State pursuant to Article 8 of the GDPR (which varies between 13 and 16 years depending on the country), although our minimum access age is 18 years.

United Kingdom

HelloCrush recognizes the provisions of the Online Safety Act 2023 of the United Kingdom, which imposes obligations on online platforms, where applicable, regarding age verification and the protection of minors.

4. Age Verification

During the registration process, users must declare that they are 18 years of age or older. By accepting the HelloCrush Terms and Conditions, the user expressly certifies that they meet the minimum age requirement.

If HelloCrush has reasonable grounds to believe that a user is a minor, it reserves the right to suspend or cancel the account immediately, without prior notice and without right to a refund of credits or paid subscriptions.

5. Parental Responsibility

Parents and legal guardians are responsible for supervising their children's use of the Internet and connected devices. We strongly recommend:

  • Using parental control tools on all household devices.
  • Keeping adult account credentials out of reach of minors.
  • Supervising the online activity of minors under your care.
  • Learning about the platforms your children use and blocking access to sites that are not suitable for minors.
