Child Safety Policy

Last updated: 21 August 2026

Hunting Game shares a player's real-time location with the other players in their game. That makes child safety something we have to be deliberate about rather than assume.

This page sets out our standards against child sexual abuse and exploitation, how to report a concern, and what parents should know.

Our standard

We have zero tolerance for child sexual abuse and exploitation (CSAE). That includes:

  • any sexual content involving a minor, in a message, a display name or a profile photo;
  • grooming, or any attempt to build a relationship with a minor for sexual purposes;
  • sextortion, or pressuring a minor into sexual content or contact;
  • using Hunting Game to find, follow, contact or meet a minor for any of the above;
  • trafficking, or advertising a minor for sexual purposes.

Any account involved in this is terminated immediately and permanently. We report to the competent authorities where the law requires or permits it, and we preserve what evidence we hold when asked to by law enforcement.

Minimum age

You must be at least 13 to use Hunting Game. When someone signs in, they confirm they are 13 or older, alongside accepting our terms.

We want to be straight about what that is worth: it is a declaration, not a check. We do not ask for a date of birth and we do not verify age, so a child who says they are old enough will get in. We chose not to collect a birth date because collecting one would not stop them either, and it would mean holding more personal data about every player.

If you believe someone under 13 has an account, tell us and we will remove it.

How to report

Email contact@hunting-game.com with "Child safety" in the subject. This reaches the operator directly and is treated as urgent, ahead of everything else.

Tell us the game's join code, roughly when it happened, the display name involved, and what you saw. If you can, keep a screenshot.

If a child is in immediate danger, contact your local emergency services first. In Belgium: 112. You can also contact Child Focus on 116 000, and reports can be made to the INHOPE network hotline for your country.

We do not yet have an in-app report button. Email is the route for now, and it is monitored.

Point of contact

Child safety matters, including requests from law enforcement and child-protection organisations, go to:

For parents and guardians

Hunting Game is a real-world chase game. Please read this bit.

  • The game shares your child's precise, live location with the other players in their game, for as long as that game is running.
  • Anyone who has a game's join code can watch that game on our website, including player names, avatars and positions, without needing an account. Treat the join code like a house key.
  • Adding a friend happens immediately. There is no request to accept. Anyone with your child's friend code becomes their friend.
  • There is chat in every game, and we do not read or filter it.
  • The game sends players outdoors to run around. Traffic, water and unfamiliar places are real risks that the app cannot see.

What we suggest:

  1. Play with your children rather than letting them play with strangers. Family mode exists for this.
  2. Only share join codes with people you know. Never post one publicly.
  3. Talk about what to do if a message makes them uncomfortable, and make sure they know they can tell you.
  4. Agree where they are allowed to play before they start.
  5. Use your phone's built-in parental controls — Screen Time on iOS, Family Link on Android — to manage app use and purchases.

You can see and delete everything we hold about your child's account at hunting-game.com/account/delete, or ask us at contact@hunting-game.com.

What we do on our side

  • A 13+ minimum, confirmed at sign-in and stated in our terms.
  • Location is collected only while the app is open and a game is running — never in the background, and never when no game is on.
  • Live locations, routes and chat for a game are deleted about five minutes after it ends.
  • No advertising, no advertising identifiers, no tracking, and no profiling of anyone.
  • Reports about child safety are handled ahead of everything else.

Where we know we fall short

We would rather write this down than pretend:

  • Age is self-declared and nothing verifies it, so any child can get past it by saying they are old enough. This is the weakest part of our child-safety position and we know it.
  • There is no in-app reporting or blocking yet. Reports go by email.
  • Chat is not filtered or moderated proactively.
  • Join codes are short numbers, so a game can in principle be found by guessing.

These are on our list, and this page will be updated as they are addressed.
