User safety
Keeping people safe on LopoRail.
LopoRail is a public railway-information platform used by adults and young enthusiasts alike. Safety, privacy and honesty are built into how the site is designed, moderated and monetised — not added on top.
Safeguarding children
Ages, consent and content are handled with minors in mind; advertising is never targeted at children.
Data protection & privacy
Granular, reversible consent; encrypted secrets; we never sell personal data.
Reporting & moderation
Report content, block users, and a desk that acts on abuse and safety concerns.
Safe advertising
Every commercial unit is labelled; placement is by page, never by person; no behavioural profiling of children.
Accessibility & inclusion
Keyboard, screen-reader and reduced-motion support, with contrast-checked colour in both themes.
Transparency & compliance
Clear policies, named responsibilities and a single place to raise a concern.
Safeguarding children
A safe place for young rail fans.
- Accounts for under-13s are not offered; where a young person joins, it is with a parent or guardian.
- Profiles are private by default, and location features never expose a home address or a child’s live whereabouts.
- Photographs are moderated, and images of identifiable children are removed on request.
- Advertising is never behaviourally targeted, and age-restricted categories are excluded from the whole platform.
- Private messaging is only available between verified, consenting accounts.
