The short version
Public photos — profile & gallery
Public photos are seen by anyone browsing the map or the nearby grid, including people you'll never talk to. Every public photo is reviewed by a person before it goes live, so the rules here are firm.
Fine to post
- Hoods, masks, harnesses, collars, mitts, tails, paws, leashes — any gear
- Shirtless, in a jockstrap under shorts, in swim trunks, in leather or rubber
- Play scenes that show gear and poses without exposing anything below
- Group pack photos, event photos, your dog
Not in public
- Any nudity — no genitals, no exposed buttocks, no visible pubic hair
- Underwear, jockstraps or thongs as the focus of the photo, or shorts pulled open to show them
- Photos framed or cropped so the crotch or butt is the point
- Visible erections or outlines through clothing
- Sexual acts — real, simulated, illustrated or partially hidden
If you're not sure, it probably belongs in your private album. That's what it's for.
Private album & chat
Your private album is only visible to people you've approved, and you can take that access back at any time. Chat is between you and one other person. Nudity is allowed in both — as long as everyone involved is an adult who's chosen to see it.
Allowed
- Nude photos and videos of yourself
- Gear and play photos that wouldn't pass in public
Still not allowed
- Explicit sexual activity — solo or with others
- Anything from the "never, anywhere" list below
- Sending nudes to someone who hasn't said yes
Never, anywhere
These get the photo removed and, in most cases, the account banned. Some of them we also report to law enforcement.
- Anyone under 18, or anyone who could be under 18. No exceptions, no "it's a joke," no cartoons. This is the one rule we will never discuss.
- Anyone who hasn't agreed to be posted. Exes, hookups, strangers at an event, people in the background — if they didn't consent, don't post it.
- Non-consensual or "revenge" images, hidden-camera photos, or anything taken without the person's knowledge.
- AI-generated or edited images of real people presented as real.
- Violence, injury, blood, weapons, hate symbols, or anything illegal.
- Ads, prices, QR codes, phone numbers, handles for other apps, or anything that solicits money or sex for money.
- Stolen photos. Your photos must be of you. Catfishing gets you banned.
What happens when a photo breaks a rule
- Public photo that's too explicit: we move it to your private album and let you know. You keep the photo; it just isn't public any more. Pick a different profile photo and you're done.
- Private or chat photo that crosses a line: the photo is removed and you get a warning. A second time, the account is suspended.
- Anything from the "never, anywhere" list: the account is banned immediately, and where the law requires it, reported.
Think we got it wrong? Email packleader@pupboy.com from the address on your account and a person will look again, usually within two days.
Your photos and your privacy
- Location data is stripped. Every photo you upload is re-processed and the hidden GPS/EXIF data your phone embeds is removed before it's stored.
- Private means private. Private album and chat photos are never on a public link. They're served only to the people you've approved, only while they're approved.
- You can revoke access to your private album from Profile → Private Album → Manage Access. The other person loses access immediately.
- Screenshots. We can't stop someone screenshotting a photo you've shown them — no app can. Share with people you trust, and report anyone who shares your images without permission.
- Deleting your account deletes your photos, including anything you sent in chat, from our servers.
Reporting
Every profile has a Report link at the bottom. Pick the closest reason — it goes to a human moderator, not a queue that nobody reads. If someone sends you an image you didn't ask for, report the profile and block them; blocking hides you from each other everywhere in the app.
