Community Safety Pledge
- Be myself. Use my real name and a clear, recent photo of me — not my children.
- Only connect with people I know. Accept invites from families I've actually met, at school, in my neighbourhood, or through friends.
- Supervise, or agree on who does. Before every playdate, confirm which adult is responsible for the children and whether it's drop-off or stay-and-play.
- Share what matters. Keep allergies, medical needs, pets, pools, trampolines and firearms-in-the-home information accurate and up to date.
- Respect a no. "Not this time" is a complete answer. I won't pressure, guilt, or follow up outside the app.
- Protect children's privacy. I won't post other families' children, addresses or schedules anywhere else.
- Speak up. I'll report anything that makes me or my child feel unsafe — and call emergency services in an emergency.
Assumption of Risk & Release
Play involves risk — scraped knees, allergic reactions, falls, and occasionally worse. By using Free Play, you understand and agree that:
- You voluntarily assume all risks associated with playdates and meetups arranged using the app, for yourself and for the children in your care.
- You release Free Play, its founders, employees and partners from any claims, demands or causes of action arising from those activities, to the fullest extent permitted by law.
- You are responsible for your family's safety, and for the safety of other children while you have agreed to supervise them.
- You will share accurate allergy, medical, pet and home-safety information, and will ask the other family for theirs.
Some places don't allow certain limitations of liability, so parts of this may not apply where you live.
Reporting someone
Every profile has a block and report option. Blocking is immediate and silent — the other family is not told, and you disappear from each other's circles. Reports come to a person at support@freeplaykids.com.
If a child is in immediate danger, contact your local emergency services first. Free Play is not an emergency service and cannot intervene.
