Community & Content Rules

1. What you can add to the app

ScentSavvy Quest is intentionally small on user content. As of the “last updated” date above, the only things you can add are:

• a dog name;
• a dog breed (optional);
• a handler nickname (optional);
• a dog photo you upload (optional).

There are no public comments, messaging, leaderboards with handles, or open posts. If we add any of those in the future, these rules will apply to them too.

2. Content you must not add

You must not submit content (including names, nicknames, or photos) that:

• is abusive, threatening, harassing, defamatory, obscene, discriminatory, or otherwise unlawful;
• contains another person’s personal information without their clear consent;
• shows an identifiable child without the permission of that child’s parent or guardian;
• impersonates another person, organisation, or brand;
• misrepresents a find (for example, a dog name designed to fake a successful submission or evade moderation);
• encourages unsafe dog handling, illegal activity, animal cruelty, or any breach of our Safety Rules;
• reveals or implies hidden scent locations or other quest spoilers;
• infringes anyone’s intellectual property, including third- party trade marks, logos, or copyrighted images.

3. Honest play

The game only works if everyone plays it honestly. You agree to:

• log finds that you and your dog actually made — no fake taps, no GPS spoofing, no proxy submissions;
• not share hide locations, hints or screenshots that give away answers to other players;
• not try to extract hide coordinates or success radii from the app, its APIs, or its infrastructure.

4. Reporting problems

If you see content or behaviour that breaks these rules, please tell us. Email info@scentsavvydogs.com with enough detail for us to investigate (which park, which quest, which dog name, any screenshots).

Australian users can also report serious online abuse, image-based abuse, cyber-bullying of a child, or illegal and harmful content to the eSafety Commissioner. Other countries have equivalent regulators.

5. Enforcement

We may, at our discretion and depending on severity:

• edit or remove offending content;
• reset submissions and remove points or badges;
• warn, suspend or terminate the account responsible;
• cooperate with law enforcement and regulators where required by law.

We try to act proportionately. We’ll usually warn before suspending, but for serious breaches (abuse, threats, child safety, cheating at scale) we may act immediately.
