Safety guidelines for teens and families
Leadly's safety rules: never pay to apply, keep chat in the app, meet in public places, and how to report a job, message, or user that feels wrong.
The basics every user agrees to
Never send money to apply for a job.
Never share sensitive information (like banking details or Social Security numbers) before verifying the employer.
Meet employers in safe, public places when appropriate — never alone, and tell a parent or guardian where you're going.
Report suspicious jobs or messages immediately.
If you ever feel unsafe: stop communicating and report the employer through Leadly.
How Leadly protects you
Unsafe job categories are blocked platform-wide, and every listing is screened automatically.
Messages are checked for common scam patterns — payment-before-work requests, gift cards and wire transfers, and attempts to move the conversation off-platform — and you're warned before sending or responding.
Your contact info is never shown publicly; messaging stays in the app.
If something feels wrong
Use the Report button on any job or conversation — every report is reviewed.
Tell a parent, guardian, or trusted adult right away.
If you are in immediate danger, call 911 (US and Canada).
