The billboard, not the ad network.
Sponsorship · founding slots open soon
Goldilocks collects no data about its users — and that’s permanent. So our sponsorship works like a billboard on a nice road, not like internet advertising:
- One sponsor at a time. Your creative is the only one in the app, shown identically to every user for your whole slot.
- Untargeted, by design. No segments, no cookies, no profiles — everyone sees the same thing, and the app says so.
- No metrics, ever. No impressions, no clicks, no conversion pixels. We publish an opt-in-only active-device floor from Apple’s own analytics as context; that’s the whole dashboard.
- Human-screened. Every image, slogan, and landing page is reviewed by a person before it appears. Goldilocks is rated for all ages, and its sponsors are too.
Who this is for
Groups planning trips, weddings, reunions, and dinners — and inside every group, the organized friend who chose the app. If your brand wants to be the name a whole group sees while planning something happy, this is your billboard.
How slots will work
Day-long slots (midnight to midnight, Pacific), placed through a sealed-bid auction with a public leaderboard. Bidding is always free — your saved card is charged only when your slot begins. Full mechanics, creative specs, and the screening policy will be published here before the first auction opens.
Founding sponsors
Before the auction opens, a small number of founding-sponsor slots will be offered at a fixed price. Founding sponsors get first pick of launch-week days and a permanent thank-you on this page.

No commitment — you’ll get the specs, the price, and the policy before anything is charged.
Takedown & refunds
Screening. Every sponsorship creative — image, slogan, and the linked page — is reviewed by a human before it appears in Goldilocks. We decline anything that doesn’t meet our content policy, with or without explanation. Declined creative from a winning bidder releases the slot to the next bidder; nothing is charged for a slot that never ran.
Payment timing. Your saved payment method is charged when your slot begins — never when you bid. Bidding is always free.
Takedown. We may remove a running sponsorship at any time if the creative, the linked page, or the sponsor’s conduct violates our policy, misleads users, or attracts credible user reports. If we remove a sponsorship before the end of its paid period for a policy violation, the payment is not refunded — screening is a courtesy, compliance is the sponsor’s obligation. If we remove or fail to display a sponsorship for reasons within our control that are not a policy violation (outage, operational error), we refund the affected time pro-rata or re-run the slot, at your choice.
No metrics. Goldilocks displays sponsorships to all users identically and collects no data about who saw them. There are no impression, click, or conversion reports, and no make-goods based on audience size.
Disputes. By bidding you accept these terms; checkout records your acceptance. Chargebacks on delivered sponsorship time are contested with that record.
