Community guidelines
Small World only connects people who've agreed to be connected. That makes most of the usual internet problems irrelevant here — there are no strangers, no comments, no feed. What's left is simpler and more important: how we treat the people we've let in.
Consent is the whole product
Every connection is mutual, and either side can change it or end it at any time, without asking and without explaining. Nobody is owed your location.
Nobody has to justify going quiet
Stealth mode exists so you can disappear whenever you want. Using it is not a statement, and nobody is told you turned it on. If someone in your life treats being unreachable as a problem, that's about them, not you.
Don't use Small World to pressure anyone
Asking someone to raise their level, stay visible, or explain where they are is a misuse of this app — whoever you are to them. If you're being pressured like this, you can lower a level, hide from that one person, go invisible, or remove them entirely, and none of it sends a notification.
Child sexual abuse and exploitation
Small World has zero tolerance for child sexual abuse and exploitation (CSAE), including child sexual abuse material (CSAM). Our full standards — what we prohibit, how to report, and how we respond — are on the child safety page.
If something goes wrong
In the app, you can block or report someone from their profile or a chat. They aren't told. For anything else, email support@small-world.app. We read everything. If you're in immediate danger, please contact your local emergency services first — we're a small team and we can't respond quickly enough to help in a crisis.
