What We Stand For

Principles we don't compromise on

Every product decision at HoopFrog Inc. runs through these filters first.

Privacy by Design

We never sell user data. End-to-end encryption is non-negotiable. Privacy is a feature, not a checkbox.

Radical Honesty

We verify who people are before they interact. Selfie verification, two-factor auth, and proactive trust scoring keep the platform real.

Canadian Through and Through

Built in Alberta. Serving Canadians first. Our data stays in Canada (Montreal data centre). PIPEDA and PIPA compliant by default.

Long-Term Thinking

We build for retention through value, not addiction. Anti-ghosting nudges, wellness reminders — we want people to find what they're looking for and leave happy.

Safety First, Always

PhotoDNA CSAM detection, moderation queues, CSAM reporting partnerships, and a layered trust system. Safety isn't a product feature — it's a responsibility.

Built for Everyone

Seven languages, WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility, and a platform designed for real diversity. We welcome everyone who's serious about connection.

Our Story

Built in Alberta,
for the world

HoopFrog Inc. was founded with a simple conviction: the world doesn't need another app designed to keep you swiping. It needs a platform designed to help you stop.

We started in St. Albert, Alberta — a community that takes relationships seriously. That spirit is baked into everything we build. We are a small, focused team committed to craftsmanship over growth-hacking.

HoopFrog is federally incorporated, holds a registered Canadian trademark, and operates under the highest standards of privacy compliance for every market we serve.

Child Protection

A deep moral responsibility

Protecting children is not a compliance checkbox. It is our most fundamental obligation.

HoopFrog has a zero-tolerance policy for content that exploits or endangers minors. We believe we all have a genuine moral and legal responsibility to protect children, and we take this with the utmost seriousness.

We do not treat moderation as a legal formality. Every report matters, and we act on it. We report illegal content involving minors to the relevant authorities and cooperate fully with all law enforcement investigations.

Report to authorities

  • Cybertip.ca — Canadian Centre for Child Protection
  • NCMEC CyberTipline (USA)
  • Internet Watch Foundation (UK)
Strictly 18+
Age verification is enforced at signup. Any account found to be operated by or targeting a minor is permanently banned immediately, no exceptions.
PhotoDNA Detection
Every image uploaded to HoopFrog is scanned against PhotoDNA CSAM hash databases before it is ever seen by another user.
Report Immediately
If you encounter any content involving a minor, report it in-app and email safety@hoopfrog.com with the subject line "CHILD SAFETY".
