1.0 ABOUT FLOCK
1.1 Flock is a small, friendly space to put the phone down together. You can start a flock or join one, cheer each other on, and take part in flock quests and optional leagues. Scoreboards rank people by how far below their own usual time they are, not by who has the lowest screen time, so everyone starts from where they are. These guidelines keep it kind.
1.2 WHO CAN JOIN
(a) Flock is for people aged 13 and over, and 16 and over if you live in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom.
(b) Flock is optional. It stays off until you accept the consent sheet, and you can turn it off any time in Settings, then Turn off Flock.
(c) You do not need an account. Flock signs you in anonymously with a random ID.
1.3 These guidelines are part of our Terms of Use at https://sites.google.com/view/offly/terms-of-use.
2.0 BE KIND
2.1 CHEER PEOPLE ON
(a) Never mock, shame or pressure anyone about their screen time, a missed day or a league result.
(b) Respect a decision to leave, mute or stop sharing minutes.
2.2 EMERGENCY BUDDY REQUESTS
(a) A friend may ask you to be their Emergency Buddy when they use Emergency pause. Please answer honestly and without judgement.
(b) Saying yes or not now is your own choice, and nobody owes an explanation.
3.0 NICKNAMES AND FLOCK NAMES
3.1 Nicknames, flock names, emoji and goals are seen by other people. They must not:
(a) be offensive, hateful or discriminatory, including about race, ethnicity, religion, disability, gender, sexual orientation or age;
(b) be sexual, violent, threatening or graphic;
(c) refer to illegal drugs, self-harm or other harmful activities;
(d) impersonate another person, brand or organisation, or include Offly staff titles;
(e) include someone else's real full name or personal details without their permission;
(f) include phone numbers, email addresses, links, handles or advertising.
3.2 We suggest you do not use your own full name either. A nickname is enough.
4.0 PLAY FAIR
4.1 Please do not:
(a) try to manipulate scoreboards, quests or leagues, for example by tampering with the app or its data;
(b) create several Flock identities to join the same flock or league;
(c) share invite codes or referral codes publicly to spam people, or sell them;
(d) use Flock to send spam or unwanted requests.
5.0 KEEP IT SAFE
5.1 STAY SAFE
(a) Only invite people you know.
(b) Do not share personal details in a nickname or flock name.
5.2 IN DANGER?
(a) Flock is not a crisis service, and we do not watch it around the clock.
(b) If you or someone you know is in danger, please contact your local emergency services.
6.0 REPORTING A PROBLEM
6.1 IN THE APP
(a) Open the flock, tap Flock options, then Report or block, and pick the member.
(b) Choose the reason that fits best: Unkind name, Harassment, Spam or Something else. The report is sent to us.
(c) You can also block the member, so their cheers and requests stop reaching you.
(d) Anyone can mute a flock or leave it from Flock options.
(e) A flock owner can remove a member from Flock options, with Remove a member.
6.2 BY EMAIL
(a) To tell us more, or to report a flock, email offly.support@newversion.studio.
(b) Please include the flock name, the member's nickname, what happened, roughly when, and your own nickname. Your Flock ID, from the bottom of Settings, helps us find your report quickly.
6.3 We read every report. Please do not post reports or accusations inside a flock.
7.0 WHAT WE MAY DO
7.1 If we reasonably believe these guidelines or the Terms of Use have been broken, we may, without notice:
(a) rename or remove a nickname, flock name, emoji or goal;
(b) remove a member from a flock or league;
(c) delete a flock;
(d) delete a Flock identity and stop it from using Flock.
7.2 We decide based on the information available to us. Because Flock is anonymous, we may not be able to tell you the outcome of a report about someone else.
7.3 If you think we got it wrong about you, email us with your Flock ID from the bottom of Settings, your nickname and the name or join code of the flock, and we will take another look.
8.0 CONTACT
8.1 Email offly.support@newversion.studio. We aim to reply within 2 business days (New Zealand time).
8.2 Our Support Guide is at https://sites.google.com/view/offly/support and our Privacy Policy is at https://sites.google.com/view/offly/privacy-policy.
Thank you for helping keep Flock a calm, kind place.
