STATEMENT OF REGULATORY COMPLIANCE
(Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021)
Vemo (“the App”) functions as a social media intermediary in accordance with the Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021 (“IT Rules”). The App has adopted appropriate internal systems, policies, and operational safeguards to meet its obligations under these Rules.
CHILD SAFETY COMPLIANCE - Vemo maintains zero tolerance for child exploitation or abuse. The App is strictly limited to users aged 18 years and above. Accounts suspected to belong to minors may be suspended pending verification. Content involving minors, grooming behaviour, or illegal material will be removed and may be reported to appropriate law-enforcement or child-protection authorities.
PLATFORM SERVICE NATURE - Vemo operates purely as a technology intermediary providing digital social interaction features. Vemo does not provide dating guarantees, matchmaking services, or offline companionship services.
USER POLICIES AND AWARENESS
Vemo maintains clearly defined policies, including its Privacy Policy, Terms of Use, and Community Standards (together referred to as “Platform Policies”). These documents are made available to users directly within the App interface.
Users are informed that failure to comply with Platform Policies may result in actions such as removal of content, restriction of features, suspension, or termination of accounts. Updates or enforcement-related communications are delivered through in-app notifications or other appropriate digital channels, and users are periodically encouraged to review the policies.
Users can also block other users to prevent further interaction. Reported content is reviewed by automated systems and human moderators.
Users may report profiles, content, or messages through in-app tools designed to maintain platform safety.

- Endangers the sovereignty, integrity, security, or public order of India.
- Contravenes any applicable law or regulation.
- Sexual exploitation or grooming of minors.
- Fraud, financial scams, or impersonation schemes.
- Content promoting prostitution, trafficking, or illegal services.
- Payment fraud, transaction abuse, or use of the platform for financial crime.
Vemo employs a combination of automated systems and manual review mechanisms to detect and act against prohibited content. The App enforces a strict no-nudity standard, and any content violating this rule is promptly removed or access to it is restricted.
ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS - Depending on severity and frequency of violations, Vemo may take actions including content removal, warning notices, temporary suspension, permanent account termination, or reporting to relevant authorities.
PAYMENT COMPLIANCE - Any payments on Vemo, will be solely for optional digital platform features. Vemo does not facilitate payments between users and does not process payments for personal meetings or offline services.
