Splash pad Q&A: ethics

We avoid turning identifiable children into the core of the directory. The preference is wide, contextual imagery or operator-provided material that does not expose random kids for editorial convenience. We are stricter about minors because location, clothing, and water-play settings raise obvious privacy concerns.

No. Operators cannot buy their way into better rankings, category spots, or editorial language. That line matters because a directory about family recreation becomes less useful the moment readers have to wonder whether a highlighted pad is there because it paid for visibility.
