Family art and safety

ChainChum welcomes art made by children, sold by their parents. Grandparents and collectors love it, and it lets a young artist see their work valued. To keep children safe, a few rules apply.

#ChainChum is for adults

• Every account holder confirms they are 18 or older when they sign up.
• Children never have accounts and never use ChainChum themselves.
• If you think someone under 18 has an account, write to chainchum@dataexpansed.com. We suspend the account while we review it.

#Opening a family art shop

1. Open a family shop: pick Open a family art shop after sign-up, or add it under Me › What you do here. An artist shop works too.
2. When you create the listing, tick This is family art.
3. Choose the age bracket of the young artist: 3–5, 6–8, 9–12 or 13–17. Buyers can browse by age bracket; we never ask for a birth date.
4. Describe the piece however you like, for example painted by my seven-year-old after a trip to the beach.

You are the seller of record: payments, shipping and the certificate are in your name.

#What must never appear

• Your child's name, nickname or initials.
• Your child's face or any photo of them, including in the background.
• Your child's date of birth, school or anything else that identifies them.

Listings that mention a child are read by a reviewer before they go live, and we remove anything that identifies a child. Repeated breaches close the shop.

#Payouts for the young artist

You will be able to send part of each family-art payout to a savings goal or a charity. We will update this guide when it is available.
