Child Safety Standards

1. App audience and minimum age

Rally is a private networking application built exclusively for adult members of the Chicago Booth Executive MBA (EMBA) cohort. Account creation is restricted to applicants who can verify cohort membership via an institutional email address ending in @chicagobooth.edu or @uchicago.edu, plus admin approval. New accounts that cannot be verified are denied.

Our minimum age policy requires that every user be at least 18 years of age. EMBA students are graduate-level professionals, typically aged 28-50. 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.

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 active moderation to prevent CSAE on the platform:

• Verified-only access. Every account requires a verified institutional email and admin approval before content can be created or sent.
• Closed cohort. Rally is not open to the public. All users are members of a single professional cohort known to administrators.
• 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 and preservation of evidence.

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.
