NightLight: Community Guidelines
Welcome to NightLight! We're so glad you're here. This is a warm, safe, and inclusive space where all parents can find support, respect, and genuine connections. Our community thrives on kindness and understanding, and we want to ensure that all members are safe. In order to keep it a positive place for everyone, we ask that you follow these community guidelines. Violations of these guidelines may result in content removal, warnings, or account suspension. We ensure that our members are responsible for how they treat one another.
Before using the app, please take a moment to review these Community Guidelines and our Terms and Conditions. By accessing, viewing, or using the app, you agree to be legally bound by them.
Your Profile
To help foster meaningful connections with other users, we require users to provide key details in their profiles. To create a profile, information needed includes:
• Basic personal information, such as your name, age, gender (optional), location, and a brief
description of what brought you to NightLight.
• Optional details about your children, including names and dates of birth (DOB). Users may
choose to use nicknames instead of real names for their children if preferred.
We value your privacy and have built-in features that allow you to control who can see information about your children. You can customise these settings to ensure your comfort and safety while using the app.
All profile information must comply with our Community Guidelines, and we reserve the right to review and request modifications to ensure adherence to our platform standards.
Users are not required to use their legal name when creating a profile; however, the chosen name must be an authentic representation of the name they commonly use in everyday life. Usernames must not contain any terms that violate our Community Guidelines, nor may they impersonate celebrities, fictional characters, or other entities. We reserve the right to review and request changes to any username that does not comply with these guidelines.
No fake profiles, impersonations, or misleading information. We want the real you to ensure interactions are genuine and truthful.
Profile Photo Requirements
Your profile must include a clear photo of yourself. We want profiles to reflect you!
• Your main profile photo must be a clear image of you (time to get ready to take a selfie!)
• Profile photos should not be of children alone.
• Profile photos containing unclothed children are strictly prohibited.
