Child Safety

You are free to share the images of your children. Just keep in mind, that even if you had good intentions sharing naked photos of your little one, it might be misused or have unintended effects on some, that's why we often remove such images, learn more in our Community Guidelines.

If you believe your child's photo was shared without proper permission or right, or want a photo of your child to be removed from Hobbmate, learn how to Report it.

We remove posts that don't follow our Terms of Use and Community Guidelines. Please note that people own the rights to the images they've taken and shared on the platform. If there's no violation of the mentioned guidelines and terms, we may not be able to help you unless required to do so by law.

Reporting


If you think your teen faced bullying/abusive/inappropriate content or behavior on the platform, we take it very seriously, please report it to us immediately and we will take the required actions to stop it. Please include as much details as you can in the report, including the username or link to post and the reason you're reporting the account/post.

Please also talk to your kids and educate them about general internet safety. If they're experiencing abuse from other people on the platform, ask them to use blocking and our privacy settings.

There are also lots of great online resources with more information for parents on bullying:

It's important to note that if your teen is a victim of abusive behavior on our service, we're unable to provide non-public information (like the offending person’s email address) without a search warrant or subpoena from law enforcement.
