NGL Procedures for Information Requests
The safety of our users is extremely important to Team NGL. In order to ensure our users’ safety and the wellbeing of the community at large, we at NGL comply with law enforcement to protect users whenever it is deemed necessary.
What should I do if I witness illegal activity on NGL?
If you see something that you believe may constitute illegal or criminal activity on NGL, please report this to our team by using the Report function in the app and by emailing our safety team at [email protected].
What will you do with my report?
After careful consideration by our team, we may deem which authorities are best to contact and may share the activity with the appropriate channels. We will comply with law enforcement and secure the NGL community from further criminal activity by ensuring that the user is banned, and law enforcement will determine the appropriate legal action to take going forward.
What information do you share with law enforcement?
