Child Safety Standards
WeWorkout maintains a zero-tolerance policy regarding the endangerment of children. In accordance with Google Play's Child Safety and Child Endangerment policies, we have established the following standards:
Prohibition of CSAE/CSAM
WeWorkout strictly prohibits the creation, upload, distribution, or solicitation of Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) or Child Sexual Abuse Content (CSAE). We use a combination of user reporting and moderation type (e.g., manual review) to identify and remove prohibited content. Any user found violating these standards will be permanently banned and reported to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) and law enforcement.

Tips for Engaging with others
At WeWorkout, we believe that building strong connections, just like building a strong body, requires effort, awareness, and a commitment to safety. Meeting new people through a shared passion for fitness, whether for friendship, workout partners, or romantic connections, can be incredibly rewarding. However, it's crucial to prioritize your well-being every step of the way. Use your best judgment and put your safety first.
Online Safety: Protecting Yourself Digitally
Your online interactions are the first step in getting to know someone. Make sure they're safe and positive.
Never Share Financial Info
WeWorkout is for connections, not transactions. Never send money via wire transfer, even if someone claims an emergency. Wiring money is like sending cash—it's nearly impossible to reverse or trace.
Protect Personal Details
Avoid sharing sensitive personal information too soon. This includes your social security number, home address, or specific details about your daily routine (e.g., "I always run at this park at 6 AM").
Keep Conversations on Platform
Bad intentions often try to move conversations to personal text immediately to avoid detection. Keep your chats within WeWorkout while you get to know someone.
Be Wary of Unusual Requests
Watch out for users who claim to be from your country but are currently "stuck" somewhere else, or those asking for help. If someone avoids video calls or meeting in person, be cautious.
Report Suspicious or Offensive Behavior
You know when someone has crossed a line. When they do, we want to know about it. Please block and report anyone who violates our terms. Examples include:
- Requests for money or donations
- Underage users
- Harassment, threats, or offensive messages
- Fraudulent profiles
- Spam or solicitation
Meeting in Person: Working Out Safely
Don't Be in a Rush
Take your time to get to know the other person before agreeing to meet. A phone or video call can be a helpful screening tool before meeting face-to-face.
Meet in Public and Stay in Public
Choose a populated, public place, like a busy gym, a well-trafficked park, or a coffee shop. Never agree to meet at your home or theirs. If they pressure you to go to a private location, end the meeting immediately.
Tell Friends or Family Your Plans
Always inform a trusted friend or family member of your plans, including when and where you're going. Make sure your cell phone is fully charged.
Know Your Limits (Especially with Substance Use)
Be aware of how alcohol or other substances affect you. If the person tries to pressure you to use substances or drink more than you're comfortable with, firmly decline and end the meeting.
If You Feel Uncomfortable, Leave
It is always okay to end a meeting early if you're feeling uncomfortable or unsafe. Trust your instincts. Ask staff for help if needed.
Sexual Health & Consent
If a friendship or connection evolves into a romantic or sexually intimate relationship, these are vital aspects of healthy interactions. Open communication is key.
Protect Yourself
If you engage in physical intimacy, correctly and consistently use barrier methods. Be aware that some STIs can be transmitted through skin-to-skin contact.
Know Your Status
Not all STIs present symptoms. Stay on top of your health and prevent the spread of STIs by getting tested regularly.
Talk About It
Communication is crucial. Before engaging in physical intimacy, discuss sexual health and STI testing with your partner. In some places, knowingly transmitting an STI is a crime.
Consent is Non-Negotiable
All sexual activity must begin with clear, enthusiastic consent. Consent can be withdrawn at any time. Sex is never owed to anyone. Do not proceed if your partner seems uncomfortable.
Remember
Even if you follow all these tips, no method of risk reduction is perfect. If you have a negative interaction or feel unsafe, please know that it is not your fault, and help is available. Report any incidents to WeWorkout. If you feel you are in immediate danger or need emergency assistance, call your local emergency services number.
