How We Keep You Safe
No Direct Messaging
We've removed all private 1:1 messaging functionality. All interactions happen in moderated public spaces.
DBS-Checked Leaders
All online Bible Studies are moderated by DBS Checked over-18 leaders. We separate Youth and Young Adults groups on both Bible Studies and the app to ensure age-appropriate discussions.
Content Moderation and Data Privacy
All prayer requests, forum questions, and replies are reviewed by our moderation team. For your privacy, all data is automatically deleted after 3 months.
What Counts as a Safeguarding Concern?
Grooming
An adult building trust to exploit you. Warning signs include special attention, gifts, secret conversations, and pressure for personal information.
Harassment
Unwanted contact that makes you feel uncomfortable, scared, or upset. This includes name-calling, threats, and persistent unwanted messages.
Inappropriate Content
Sharing of sexual, violent, or otherwise inappropriate material, especially involving minors.
Bullying
Repeated hurtful behaviour targeting you for your beliefs, appearance, identity, or background.
How to Stay Safe Online
Guard Your Information
Never share your password, home address, school, or phone number with people you don't know in real life.
Trust Your Gut
If something feels wrong or uncomfortable, it probably is. Tell a trusted adult immediately.
Take Screenshots
If someone is being inappropriate, take a screenshot. This helps us investigate.
Block and Report
Use the reporting feature liberally. We review every report, even if you're unsure.
Talk to Adults
Have a trusted adult (parent, leader, teacher) who knows you use Godspace.
Use Strong Passwords
Unique, complex passwords keep your account secure. Don't share them.
