Off Leash ("Off Leash", "we", "us", or "our") has zero tolerance for child sexual abuse and exploitation (CSAE) and for child sexual abuse material (CSAM). These standards describe how we work to prevent, detect, and respond to CSAE on the Off Leash app and services, in line with Google Play's Child Safety Standards policy and applicable law.
Our commitment
Off Leash is a community for adult dog owners to find off-leash parks and connect with other owners. We do not permit any content or conduct that sexualizes, endangers, or exploits children. The following are strictly prohibited and will result in content removal and account termination, and may be reported to law enforcement:
- Child sexual abuse material (CSAM) or any content that sexualizes minors.
- Grooming, enticement, sextortion, or any attempt to sexualize or exploit a minor.
- Trafficking of, or solicitation of, minors.
- Sharing, requesting, or linking to CSAE/CSAM, or directing others to such material.
- Any other content or behavior that endangers the safety or well-being of a child.
Age requirement
Off Leash is intended for adults. You must be at least 13 years old (or older where your local law requires) to use the app, and the app is not directed to children. We do not knowingly allow anyone under the applicable age of digital consent to create an account, and we will remove accounts we learn belong to underage users. See our Privacy Policy for more.
How we prevent and respond to CSAE
- In-app reporting: users can report any other user, dog profile, message, or piece of content directly from within the app.
- Blocking: users can block other users to immediately stop all contact and interaction.
- Moderation: reports are reviewed by our team, and we remove violating content and suspend or permanently terminate offending accounts.
- Account termination: accounts involved in CSAE are banned, and associated content is removed.
Reporting a child safety concern
If you encounter content or behavior that may involve the abuse or exploitation of a child, please report it immediately:
- In the app — use the "Report" option available on user profiles, dog profiles, and messages.
- By email — contact our child safety point of contact at support@off-leash.dog. We aim to review reports of CSAE promptly.
If a child is in immediate danger, contact your local emergency services first.
Compliance and reporting to authorities
We comply with all applicable child safety laws. When we become aware of apparent CSAM, we remove it, preserve relevant information as required, and report it to the appropriate authorities — including, in the United States, the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) via its CyberTipline — and to relevant regional and national authorities as required by law.
