• Be the Magic — kindness first, always. This is a community, not a competition against each other.
• Squad names, Elf Names, photos and Holiday Mission posts are reviewed. Anything hateful, harassing, sexual, violent or commercial-spam gets removed and may end participation.
• Never post another person’s private information, and never post identifiable images of children who aren’t yours.
• Report anything that doesn’t feel merry. Every flag is reviewed by a human.
Privacy
• Community lookup uses a ZIP code, city or county. Business and nonprofit applications also require an organization address and contact information.
• Jr Elf and family participation is always adult-managed. We do not require public child names, exact locations or child imagery, and child profiles are not publicly searchable.
• Location is used to show nearby magic and confirm shared visits. We do not sell personal data.
• We never store or display raw card details. Payments are handled through a PCI-compliant hosted checkout provider.
