At camrequest, user safety and privacy are our highest priorities. Camrequest is strictly designated as an 18+ platform solely to protect minors.
The sensitivity of real-time video and location data
Camrequest is built around a unique, on-demand feature: connecting users directly through live, peer-to-peer mobile video feeds paired with precise real-time geolocation mapping.
While this enables people to explore live events, check road conditions, or view surroundings across the globe, combining live unedited video broadcasting with real-time GPS location coordinates creates an inherently sensitive environment.
Proactive protection: automated face blurring for minors
To uphold strict child safety standards in public spaces, camrequest utilizes automated privacy protections during live broadcasts:
- Background face blurring: Whenever a live stream is broadcast in public or semi-public areas, our video processing pipeline actively detects and blurs the faces of minors appearing in the background.
- Preserving privacy in public: Bystanders—especially children who happen to be in the frame—should not have their identifiable facial features transmitted across live feeds. Automated blurring ensures incidental captures do not compromise young people's privacy.
Why we require account holders to be 18 or older
Even with automated privacy measures like background blurring in place, platform participation is restricted to adults:
- Protecting minors from geolocation exposure: Broadcasting live video while simultaneously sharing physical location coordinates creates risks that minors should not be exposed to as active broadcasters or requesters.
- Unfiltered live interaction: Live broadcasts and on-demand camera requests require mature judgment when navigating real-world environments and fulfilling community requests responsibly.
- Child safety by design: Restricting account creation to adults ensures that minors cannot be solicited for location-based tasks or unmonitored live-streaming.
Clarification on platform content
Our 18+ policy exists purely as a proactive safety safeguard regarding live geolocation and privacy. Camrequest is not an adult entertainment service.
Our strict community guidelines and terms of service prohibit explicit, illegal, or inappropriate content. Any account violating our zero-tolerance policies faces immediate suspension, automated stream termination, and permanent platform bans.
