Rating & Safety Policy

Last updated: May 2, 2026

1. Purpose of this page

This page provides additional information about age suitability and content safety for the mobile application “SCP Docs” (the “App”). The App is treated as appropriate for an App Store 13+ rating.

This rating reflects the fact that the works accessible through the App may include written horror, paranormal themes, suspense, and other fictional material that may not be suitable for younger readers.

2. Nature of the app

The App is a browsing client for the online creative community commonly known as the SCP Foundation. Content may include text-based horror and unsettling fictional material, presented under community and source-site rules.

SCP Docs is not an official application provided or endorsed by the SCP Foundation, Wikidot, Inc., or the official operators of referenced content. It is an unofficial fan-made reader for public creative works.

3. Expected content

SCP-related works may include horror, suspense, anomalous entities, fictional containment procedures, warning-style prose, tragic themes, and implied violence. Most content is text-first fiction and is not intended to encourage real-world dangerous behavior.

  • Text-based horror, unease, and paranormal themes
  • Fictional research reports, containment procedures, and warning-style presentation
  • Work-specific tension, tragedy, or implied violence in written form

4. Reader guidance

The App is intended for readers aged 13 and older. Readers who are sensitive to horror or unsettling fiction, and minors using the App, should choose what they read with care. Article tags, warnings, source-site rules, and parental guidance may be relevant.

Parents and guardians may use iOS Screen Time, age restrictions, and content controls to manage a child's browsing environment where needed.
