Young participants may ask, pause or decline. Adults retain consent, supervision, communication, transport, photography, handoff and safeguarding responsibility.
Design commitments
Private, non-competitive and adult-led
No youth profile
The app accepts no name, age, photograph, location, contact, membership or public identity.
No private messaging
There is no chat, inbox, adult-to-child communication channel or social feed.
No scores or streaks
The experience avoids ranking, pressure and public comparison. Success is not measured by app time.
No safeguarding report field
Urgent or sensitive concerns belong in appropriate real-world channels, never in Pairboard.
Consent remains current
Participation and photography decisions can change. Earlier agreement is not permanent agreement.
Different pace is respected
A participant can take longer, observe, remain unmounted or stop without being marked incomplete.
Adults clarify roles
The app does not verify who is a guardian, coach, handler or organiser.
Real inclusion needs people
Access requirements, communication support and reasonable adjustments require current human planning.
Target audience
Youth context must be declared honestly
The subject matter and imagery include supervised young riders. Google Play target-audience and Families answers must match the exact release; selecting an adult-only audience merely to avoid Families requirements would be inaccurate.
