Our Commitment to Your Safety

At ER:LC Billboards, creating a secure and positive community is our most important job.

We ask for your age not as a formality, but as a foundational step in our comprehensive safety strategy. Your trust and safety are the cornerstones of our platform. This measure allows us to tailor the user experience to be appropriate, welcoming, and, above all, safe for every member of our community, especially our younger users.

Fostering Both Freedom and Protection

We believe in fostering a vibrant community where users can express themselves freely. Some areas of our platform, like open forums and user-generated content zones, are designed with lighter moderation to encourage this creativity and open dialogue. While this freedom is vital for a dynamic community, it can sometimes lead to discussions or content with mature themes that are not suitable for younger audiences.

By verifying a user's age, we can responsibly manage access to these spaces. This isn't about limiting fun; it's about protecting our users from stumbling into conversations or content that they aren't ready for.

Our Responsibility to Younger Users

For users under the age of 13, we take extra precautions. In compliance with laws like the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), we implement stricter controls. This means we can automatically:

  • Restrict Access: Block access to features like unmoderated chat rooms, certain community forums, and other areas that could present risks.
  • Adjust Privacy: Default to the highest privacy settings, limiting what information is shared publicly.
  • Limit Data Collection: Minimize the personal data we collect to what is strictly necessary for the platform to function.
  • Tailor Content: Filter the content, advertisements, and user creations shown to ensure they are age-appropriate.

A Safer Experience for Everyone

These safety measures allow us to build a more respectful and enjoyable environment for all. Protecting our community is a responsibility we take with the utmost seriousness. It's an ongoing commitment that involves constantly updating our policies, improving our tools, and listening to your feedback. These steps help us strike the right balance between freedom and safety, ensuring that vulnerable users are shielded from potential harm.

Thank you for understanding and for helping us maintain a safe, creative, and welcoming platform for the entire ER:LC community.
