Child Safety Standards
Last updated: November 2, 2026
GolfedIn is a golf app for people aged 16 and over. These standards apply to the GolfedIn apps for Android and iPhone and to the GolfedIn website.
Zero tolerance for child sexual abuse and exploitation
GolfedIn prohibits child sexual abuse and exploitation (CSAE) of any kind, including:
- child sexual abuse material (CSAM): any image, video or text that sexualizes a minor;
- grooming, sexual contact with or sexual messages to a minor, or attempts to arrange them;
- sextortion, trafficking, or any other exploitation of a minor;
- sharing, requesting, or linking to any of the above.
Accounts involved are banned permanently, without warning. This is part of our Terms of Service, which every user agrees to when they sign in.
How to report it
- In the app: long-press a group chat message and choose Report message, long-press a gallery photo and choose Report photo, or open someone's profile, tap the menu and choose Report user.
- By email: support@golfedin.com with the subject "Child safety report". Please don't attach the material itself — describe where it is (the group, the person's display name, the date).
- If a child is in immediate danger, contact local emergency services first.
You can also report CSAM directly to the NCMEC CyberTipline (US) or your national hotline through INHOPE.
What we do
- We review child safety reports first, as soon as we see them, and act within 24 hours.
- We remove the material from the app and permanently ban the accounts involved.
- We report apparent CSAM to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC), as US law requires, and cooperate with law enforcement. We preserve the material only as the law requires and never share it otherwise.
- Profile photos, group cover photos and round photos are checked automatically for inappropriate content before they are saved.
Compliance
GolfedIn complies with applicable child safety laws, including reporting obligations to NCMEC and the relevant authorities in the countries where we operate.
