Child Safety Standards
Hoppit: Habit Buddies · last updated: September 9, 2026
hoppit has no tolerance for child sexual abuse and exploitation (CSAE). This page
is our published standard: what is forbidden, how the app is built so strangers cannot reach
you in the first place, how to report something, and what happens when a report arrives.
The standard
- CSAE content and conduct are prohibited. That covers child sexual abuse
material, sexualized depiction of a minor, grooming, sextortion, trafficking, and any other
sexual exploitation of a child — in a check-in, a comment, a display name, a group name, or
anywhere else in Hoppit: Habit Buddies.
- Accounts involved in it are removed. We terminate the account, not just
the post, and we do it without warning or appeal.
- hoppit is for people 13 and older. Our Terms of
Service require it, and as our Privacy Policy says, hoppit is not
directed to children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect their personal information. If
you believe a child under 13 has an account, tell us and we will remove it.
Why there is so little surface to abuse
Most of what protects a young member here is the shape of the app rather than anything we do
after the fact. There is nowhere in hoppit for a stranger to find you.
- Groups are private and invite-only. A check-in is visible only inside one
group of 2–12 people, and you are only in a group because a member invited you into it.
- There is no public feed and no discovery. Nothing is browsable, there is
no people search, no recommendations, no friend suggestions, and no way to contact someone
who is not already in a group with you.
- Media is captured through the in-app camera only. There is no gallery
upload anywhere in the product, so a saved or downloaded image cannot be posted into hoppit
at all.
- Check-in photos and videos are deleted from our storage once your group's day
settles — normally within about a day of being posted. They do not accumulate.
How to report
Report from inside the app, wherever you saw the problem:
- A check-in — open it in the story viewer, tap the
⋯ button, then Report.
- A comment — open the comment sheet, press and hold the comment, then
Report.
- A member — open the group's member list and report them from there.
Reporting a person also blocks them.
The reported content is hidden from you right away — you are not waiting on
us to act before it disappears from your view. The report is also emailed to the operator so a
person can look at it.
For a child-safety concern you can also email support@hoppit.app directly, including if you cannot
open the app. That inbox is read by the operator.
Other controls you have
- Block someone. The two of you stop seeing each other across every group
you share — check-ins, comments, and the member list — and pokes and notifications between
you stop.
- If you host a group, remove a member. The host can eject anyone in the
group; they lose access to it immediately.
- Leave a group. Leaving ends your part in it and the notifications that
come with it.
What we do when a report arrives
hoppit is operated by one person in British Columbia, Canada. Reports are
reviewed by a person — there is no team, and nothing here is decided
automatically. A child-safety report is the first thing we act on, ahead of anything else in
that inbox.
If we confirm CSAE, we terminate the account and report it to the
relevant authorities.
If a child is in immediate danger, contact your local emergency services first.
We are not an emergency service and cannot act at that speed.
