These are the published standards of Puppy Pride CIC, doing business as Puppy Pride ('Company', 'we', 'us', or 'our'), against child sexual abuse and exploitation (CSAE). They apply to the Puppy Pride website and the Puppy Pridemobile app. We have zero tolerance for CSAE and child sexual abuse material (CSAM).

1. Scope and app name
This page is the externally published child safety / CSAE standard for:
- The Puppy Pride Website found at https://PuppyPride.Social, and all associated subdomains.
- The Puppy Pride mobile applications on Google Play and Apple App Store.
Puppy Pride is a dedicated social network for the LGBT+ Pet Play community. These standards still apply to all users, including Guest login. See also our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
2. Zero tolerance β what we prohibit
Puppy Pride prohibits child sexual abuse and exploitation (CSAE). CSAE includes content or behaviour that sexually exploits, abuses, or endangers a child (a person under 18, or the age of majority in the country they live in if higher). This includes, for example, grooming, sextortion, trafficking a child for sex, or otherwise sexually exploiting a child.
- You must not upload, store, share, request, generate, or link to child sexual abuse material (CSAM) β including photos, videos, or computer-generated imagery that sexually exploits a minor.
- You must not use Puppy Pride (website or app) to contact, groom, or exploit a child, or to advertise such activity.
- Create any blogs, personels posts, events, profile friends, and messages must not be used for CSAE or CSAM.
- We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 18. This service is STRICTLY for those 18 or over.
3. How we address CSAM
When Puppy Pride obtains actual knowledge of CSAM or CSAE on our website or in the Puppy Pride mobile app, we take appropriate action in line with these standards and applicable law.
- We remove the content from public view as quickly as practical.
- We may suspend or disable the account, Guest session, or user access involved.
- We may preserve records as required for a lawful investigation. Do not send illegal files to our public email or social media! Tell us where you saw it (page, screen, user, or listing).
- We report confirmed CSAM to the relevant authority (see below) when the law requires it or when we have confirmed knowledge of such material.
- We may refuse, reject, or delete job requests, resume drafts, or other user submissions that violate this page.
4. In-app reporting of child safety concerns
Puppy Pride allows users to report child safety concerns in-app. Anyone using the Puppy Pride mobile app can submit a child safety / CSAE / CSAM concern without leaving the app β including Guest users.
- In the app, open Contact, Report, or Feedback on the content you wish to report, and select the relevant reporting options. That is our in-app user-feedback mechanism for child safety reports.
- You can also email [email protected]Β (subject: βChild safety report (CSAE)β)..
Tell us where you saw the issue (please provide the exact link). Do not attach or forward CSAM, or any screenshots of the content. If someone is in immediate danger, contact local police first.
5. Reporting to regional and national authorities
Puppy Pride complies with all relevant child safety laws and reports confirmed CSAM to regional and national authorities when we have actual knowledge of it, as required by those laws.
- Internet Watch Foundation: www.iwf.org.uk
- International / NCMEC CyberTipline: https://report.cybertip.org
- Local police / emergency services where a child is at immediate risk.
Users may also report directly to those authorities. Puppy Pride will cooperate with lawful requests.
6. Child safety point of contact
Google Play, Apple App Store, and other platforms may notify Puppy Pride about CSAE or CSAM. The designated child safety point of contact for Puppy Pride is:
- Name / team: Kye Etherton
- Email: [email protected]
- Phone: +44 20 7078 7623
This person can speak to our review steps and take action (remove content, disable access, or escalate to authorities).
7. Child safety laws
The Puppy Pride mobile app complies with all relevant child safety laws in the countries where we offer the app. That includes having a process to report confirmed CSAM to national and regional authorities. We also follow the United Kingdom's Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) framework and other criminal and information-technology laws that prohibit CSAM.
