Safeguarding

New profiles are private. Being visible to other members is a choice a member makes, not the setting they are given.

Surnames and email addresses never appear on a public profile.

Land The Trick does not host video. There is no upload anywhere in the app, so there is no member footage on our servers.

A member can add a link to a video they have put on YouTube. Every one starts private, a video is never visible to anyone who is not signed in, and a member whose profile is private has videos nobody else can see whatever they set on them. There is no public setting for a video, deliberately: it is the one thing on Land The Trick a stranger could otherwise reach.

Crews are invite only. You get in because someone already in one invites you. There is no directory of members to browse and no way to search for a member you are not already crewed with.

There is no private messaging in Land The Trick, between members or otherwise. That is not a feature we have left for later. It is a thing this app does not do.

There is no feed of strangers. A crew board is a leaderboard, a crew activity list is in the order things happened, and neither is picked for you by an algorithm.

Spots that members submit reach nobody until a person here has read them and approved them.

Every profile and every spot has a report control on it, and there is a form at /report you can open from anywhere. You do not need an account to use it, and you do not need to be the person it happened to.

Or email safeguarding@landthetrick.com with a link, a name or a description. It reaches the same person: a human, not a queue nobody reads.

We will respond within one working day.

If you think we got a decision wrong, ask us to look again: every report we take gives you a reference, and the same form takes an appeal against what we did with it. Somebody who has not already decided reads it.

Where a member needed permission to be here, the parent or guardian who gave it keeps a link that withdraws it. That link never expires and needs no account of their own.

Withdrawing permission puts the account back to tracking alone: the member keeps everything they have logged and stops being visible to anybody else.

If you want to know what your child is doing here, ask them to show you. Everything Land The Trick holds about a member is on their own screens. There is nothing kept back from them, and nothing a parent can see that they cannot.

Every trick carries a difficulty from 1 to 5. Anything at 4 or 5 involves drops, inverts or both (and in gymnastics plenty below that go upside down too), and the trick page says so on every trick that is best with a spotter.

We will not gate tricks by age, because people progress at different rates. We will keep flagging the ones that need a spotter, a coach or a foam pit.

Safeguarding here is a named person’s job, not a shared inbox. The individual accountable for it, including our duties under the UK Online Safety Act, is Rachid Otsmane of Fennec Consulting Ltd, the company that runs Land The Trick.

Anything sent to safeguarding@landthetrick.com reaches them.
