Security and family safety

Last updated November 1, 2026.

Keeping families safe

• Browsing needs no account and no personal information.
• There is no messaging, chat, or comments. Nobody on the site can contact you.
• Owner names are never shown. Photos show displays only, and we review every photo before it appears.
• Listings can't include links, phone numbers, or emails.
• Every sponsored pin is reviewed by a person before it goes up, and it's labeled “Sponsored”.
• Anyone can report a listing with one tap. We review every report and remove what doesn't belong.

How we protect the site

• Everything is served over HTTPS.
• Sign-in uses a one-time email link. There are no passwords to steal.
• Database rules decide who can change what. You can only edit your own listing.
• Payments go through Stripe. Card numbers never touch our servers.
• We keep only what the site needs to work. See the privacy policy.
