Child Safety & Csae Prevention Policy

At Hobby Horse Academy, we are deeply committed to creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment for children. We take child safety seriously and have implemented clear standards to prevent Child Sexual Abuse and Exploitation (CSAE) and ensure compliance with international regulations, including COPPA, GDPR-K, and Google Play’s policies.

1. Our Commitment to Child Safety

We DO NOT TOLERATE any form of sexual exploitation or abuse of children on our platform. This includes, but is not limited to:

  • Sharing, requesting, or encouraging child sexual abuse material (CSAM)
  • Inappropriate interactions between users
  • Grooming or coercion attempts
  • Use of the platform for contact or exploitation of minors

2. App Design for Child Protection

Our app has been designed with the safety of young users in mind:

  • Moderation to filter harmful messages
  • Strict content review for all user-generated content
  • No location sharing
  • Chat feature includes automatic blocking of harmful words + option to block and report users from chat
  • Real-time moderation filters
  • Profile limitations for underage users
  • Faces of members under the age of digital consent in their country are covered automatically (blur or heart) before a photo is posted, unless a parent approves by email
  • Parent approval is given by the parent through an email link and can be withdrawn at any time
  • Contest photos are saved without hidden location data (EXIF and GPS)
  • Messages are checked for words that are not allowed both when they are sent and when they are edited
  • Moderators can block accounts immediately; blocked members cannot use the community

3. Reporting & Response

If users witness or experience any suspicious behavior or safety concern, they can report it via:

  • In-app reporting tools (on user profiles and posts)
  • Dedicated email:  [email protected]

All reports are taken seriously and reviewed as quickly as possible, usually within 24 hours. Urgent safety reports sent to the email above are handled first. We may:

  • Warn or suspend accounts
  • Permanently ban violators
  • Report illegal activity to the relevant authorities

4. Moderator Training & Enforcement

Our moderators and safety team are:

  • Trained to detect grooming behavior, abuse patterns, and harmful language
  • Actively monitoring public interactions
  • Empowered to take immediate action if a child is at risk

5. External Reporting and Cooperation

We fully cooperate with law enforcement and child protection agencies. When required, we will:

  • Provide relevant user data under legal authority
  • Assist in investigations involving CSAE

We also stay up to date with best practices from:
