Child Safety Standards

1. App audience and minimum age

Rally is a private networking application for adult professional and academic communities. Every account is tied to an email address, and members join communities rather than the platform at large: a member of one community cannot see the profiles, events, or conversations of another community they do not belong to. Some communities, including Chicago Booth and the University of Chicago, are joined automatically by verifying an institutional email address such as @chicagobooth.edu or @uchicago.edu. Others are joined by invitation.

Our minimum age policy requires that every user be at least 18 years of age. We do not market, recommend, or design Rally for use by minors, and we do not knowingly permit any user under 18 to create an account. Rally is built for working professionals and graduate-level communities, and its content and features are designed for an adult audience.

2. Prohibited content and conduct

The following content and conduct are strictly prohibited on Rally and result in immediate account termination and, where applicable, reporting to law enforcement:

• Child sexual abuse material (CSAM) of any kind, including AI-generated, animated, or simulated CSAM.
• Sexual solicitation, grooming, or exploitation of minors.
• Sharing, soliciting, or attempting to share contact information, images, or other content involving minors.
• Any content that sexualizes minors, or implies sexual interest in minors.
• Trafficking, abuse, or exploitation of any person, including minors.

3. Detection and prevention

Rally uses a combination of access controls and member reporting to help prevent and respond to CSAE on the platform:

• Every account is tied to an email address. Some account-creation paths use a one-time code sent to that address to confirm control of it before access is granted. Institutional accounts are additionally restricted to email addresses at organisations we recognise, and invited members join through an invitation sent directly to them.
• Adults only. Rally's minimum age is 18. We require age assurance during supported sign-up flows before access is granted, and any account we find to belong to a minor is removed.
• Not a public network. Rally has no public feed, no anonymous browsing, and no discovery by strangers: an account is required to see anything, members are organised into communities, and what a member sees is scoped to the communities they belong to. Profiles in particular are restricted so that members can only view one another when they share a community.
• In-app reporting. Every event, profile, message, and Hub post includes a Report button that routes the report directly to administrators for immediate review.
• Administrator response. Reports involving CSAE are reviewed within 24 hours. Confirmed violations result in immediate account termination.

4. Reporting CSAM and child safety concerns

If you encounter content or conduct on Rally that violates these standards, you can report it via:

• In-app: Use the Report button on any event, profile, message, or Hub post. Reports are routed to administrators for review.
• Email: rahulgaur116@gmail.com — for urgent or sensitive reports, especially those involving suspected CSAM or the safety of a minor.

Confirmed CSAM is reported to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) via the CyberTipline at report.cybertip.org in accordance with 18 U.S.C. § 2258A, and to other relevant national and regional authorities as required by applicable law.

5. Designated point of contact

The designated point of contact for child safety concerns relating to Rally is:

Rahul Gaur, Rally Administrator
rahulgaur116@gmail.com

This contact is staffed by the platform administrator and is prepared to respond to questions about Rally's CSAE prevention practices and to receive reports of suspected violations. Reports involving the immediate safety of a minor should also be made to local law enforcement.

6. Compliance with law

Rally complies with all applicable child safety and reporting laws of the jurisdictions in which we operate, including United States federal law (18 U.S.C. § 2258A reporting obligations) and the privacy and online safety requirements of the European Union, the United Kingdom, and other jurisdictions where our users reside. We cooperate fully with law enforcement requests that comply with applicable law.

7. Updates

We may update these standards from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, evolving best practices for online child safety, or changes in applicable law. The effective date at the top of this page indicates the date of the most recent revision.
