Child Safety Standards
1. Our commitment
Good Girl (“the app”, “we”, “us”), operated by Good Girl, a sole trader, has zero tolerance for the sexual abuse and exploitation of children. We prohibit, and act decisively against, child sexual abuse and exploitation (“CSAE”) and child sexual abuse material (“CSAM”) in every part of the app. Protecting children is a condition of using Good Girl that overrides everything else, including our commitment to user privacy. Good Girl is a trading name of a sole trader established in England. A postal address for service of documents is available on request from info@good-girl.app, and is provided to Google, regulators and law enforcement whenever required.
We maintain these standards in line with Google Play’s Child Safety Standards policy and applicable law, and we keep them under review.
2. Who Good Girl is for
Good Girl is strictly for adults aged 18 or over. It is a private intimacy and relationship app for two consenting adult partners in a committed relationship. It contains mature, relationship-oriented content and is not intended for, marketed to, or directed at anyone under 18. Every user confirms they are 18 or over before using the app, and the app is rated for mature audiences.
3. How the app is designed to keep children out and reduce CSAE risk
Good Girl’s architecture materially limits the ways CSAE could occur, compared with an open social platform:
- No public discovery and no stranger contact. There is no directory, search, feed, friend-finder, or any way to discover or contact other users. An adult cannot use Good Girl to find, message, or reach a child.
- Invite-only, two-person pairing. The app connects exactly two people, and only after they exchange a one-time pairing code out-of-band. You cannot be paired with someone you have not deliberately connected with.
- No open or public sharing. Content created in the app is shared only between the two paired adults. It is never posted publicly, surfaced to other users, or shared outside the pair.
- Adults-only content behind a sign-in and an age confirmation. Mature content is only reachable after authentication and an 18+ confirmation.
These design choices mean there is no realistic pathway for an adult to use Good Girl to groom, contact, or exploit a child, and no way for user content to reach the public.
4. Age assurance
- Users confirm they are 18 or over on first use.
- The app is rated for mature audiences (17+/18+) and is submitted with an honest content rating.
- If we become aware that an account is used by, or belongs to, someone under 18, we will terminate that account and delete its data.
- We do not knowingly collect information from, or provide the service to, anyone under 18.
5. Prohibited content and conduct
The following are strictly forbidden and result in immediate action, including permanent account termination and reporting to the authorities:
- Child sexual abuse material (CSAM) of any kind — real, drawn, animated, or AI-generated.
- Any sexualisation of a minor, or content that depicts, encourages, or normalises the sexual abuse or exploitation of a child.
- Grooming, solicitation, or any attempt to sexualise, contact, or exploit a minor.
- Any other content or conduct that endangers a child.
6. How to report a child-safety concern
We want to hear about anything that endangers a child on Good Girl.
- In the app: use the in-app Report option to flag content or a concern. Reports reach our safety team directly.
- By email: contact our safety team at info@good-girl.app at any time. You do not need to be a user of the app to report a concern to us.
- To the authorities directly: you can, and where a child is in immediate danger you should, report to law enforcement and the relevant child-protection body:
- United States: the NCMEC CyberTipline — report.cybertip.org or 1-800-843-5678.
- United Kingdom: CEOP (National Crime Agency) — ceop.police.uk — and the Internet Watch Foundation (iwf.org.uk).
- Elsewhere / emergencies: your local police or emergency number.
We respond to every child-safety report we receive.
7. How we respond
When we receive a report or otherwise become aware of apparent CSAE or CSAM, we act promptly:
- Review and remove offending content from the shared store where we are able to.
- Terminate accounts involved, permanently.
- Preserve and report: we preserve relevant information as permitted by law and report apparent CSAM to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) CyberTipline, and to local authorities such as the UK’s CEOP where applicable, in line with our legal obligations (including, for US-facing service, 18 U.S.C. § 2258A).
- Cooperate with law enforcement in response to valid legal requests.
8. Encryption and detection
To protect the privacy of the two adults using it, Good Girl encrypts private notes and captured media on the sender’s device with a key belonging to the couple; content is decrypted on the paired partner’s device. Our systems do not see, scan, or proactively review the content of encrypted media or notes in normal operation.
We are transparent about this trade-off. Our child-safety approach therefore relies on:
- the design constraints in §3 that make CSAE pathways impractical in the first place,
- user and third-party reporting (§6), which we act on decisively (§7), and
- account-level and non-content signals available to us, and cooperation with authorities.
We do not use encryption as a shield: when a safety report is filed or we are otherwise made aware of suspected CSAE, we investigate — including, where necessary and lawful, reviewing the specific reported content — and we remove content, terminate accounts, and report to the authorities in §6.
8.1 Reporting a message sends us a readable copy of it
“Our systems never see your content” is true in normal operation, and it stops being true the moment you report something. We state that plainly rather than leave it implied.
When you report a specific message from inside the conversation, the app attaches a decrypted, readable copy of that one message to your report, and that copy is stored on our servers in plain text. This is necessary and deliberate: the encryption key belongs to the two of you and we do not use it to read your content, so a report without a copy would reach a human reviewer as “something happened” and nothing more — unreviewable, unactionable, and unreportable to NCMEC or CEOP. The copy is what makes the promises in §7 possible at all.
How long we keep a report
A report and the copy of reported content attached to it are kept for 90 days after the report is resolved, then deleted. Where a report has been escalated to law enforcement or a child-safety authority, it is preserved until that authority confirms it is no longer needed.
Ninety days is long enough to investigate, to hear an appeal, and to escalate. It is deliberately not longer: a report holds plaintext content that is encrypted everywhere else in the app, so keeping it past its purpose would be a risk rather than a precaution.
The limits on it are as important as the disclosure:
- Only what you choose to report. Nothing is copied unless you report it. There is no background scanning, sampling, or bulk decryption of conversations.
- Only that one message. The surrounding conversation is not attached, before or after.
- Only the reporter can do it. The copy is made on the reporting person’s own device, from content already on that device. It is never taken from the other partner’s device.
- Reporting is invisible to the person reported. Nothing in the conversation changes, no flag appears, and they are not notified. Being reported can itself be dangerous in a coercive relationship, so the design does not tip anyone off.
- Used only for safety review, and retained, disclosed to authorities, or deleted in line with §7 and our Privacy Policy.

10. Governing standards and updates
These standards are maintained in line with Google Play’s Child Safety Standards policy and applicable child-protection law in the jurisdictions where the app is offered. We review them periodically and update them as our features and obligations change. Material changes will be reflected in the “Last updated” date above.
