Community Guidelines

As a user, your agreement with us in the Terms of Service is to interact with the Platform in a way that upholds these principles and values. Our moderators and internal AI may remove content where it does not meet out standards or align with the use of this platform.

These Guidelines apply to all content (which includes all forms of communication, like text, images, links or attachments, emojis and creative tools) on our Platform (Owlbum App and associated websites) — and to all users, equally. Advertisers and media partners agree to additional guidelines, including the requirement that their content is accurate and, where appropriate, fact-checked. In certain cases, we won’t take action against content when it is newsworthy, factual, and relates to a matter of political, social, or other general concern to our community.

We've outlined here and in our Terms of Service specific rules for content that is prohibited on Owlbum. But it's hard to anticipate every situation that might come up. The key is the spirit of these rules: we want Owlbum to be a safe and rewarding experience for everyone. We reserve the right to decide, in our sole discretion, what content violates that spirit and will not be permitted on the platform.

Sexually Explicit Content

We prohibit accounts that promote or distribute pornographic content or content that could be considered to be overly sexual.

We report all instances of child sexual exploitation to authorities. Never post, save, or send nude or sexually explicit content involving anyone under the age of 18 — even of yourself. Never ask a minor to send sexually explicit content.

Harassment & Bullying

We prohibit bullying or harassment of any kind. If someone blocks you, you may not contact them from another account.

Sharing another person’s private information of people in private spaces — like a bathroom, bedroom, locker room or a medical facility — without their knowledge and consent is not allowed.

If someone is depicted or mentioned in your Content and asks you to remove it, please do! Respect the privacy rights of others.

We promote an inclusive environment devoid of negative comments. Our moderators and internal AI may remove content where it does not meet out standards.

Threats, Violence & Harm

Encouraging violence or dangerous behaviour is prohibited — never intimidate or threaten to harm a person, a group of people, or someone’s property.

Content of a gratuitous or graphic violence, including animal abuse are not allowed.

We don’t allow the glorification of self-harm, including the promotion of self-injury, suicide or eating disorders

Impersonation, Deceptive Practices & False Information

We prohibit pretending to be someone (or something) that you’re not, or attempting to deceive people about who you are. This includes impersonating your friends, celebrities, brands, or other organizations.

We prohibit spreading false information that causes harm or is malicious, such as denying the existence of tragic events, unsubstantiated medical claims, undermining the integrity of civic processes, or manipulating content for false or misleading purposes.

We disallow spam and deceptive practices, including imitating Owlbum or its associated third parties.

We probit the promoting of activities that may be deemed harmful or misleading, such as fad diets, or study techniques that could be detrimental.

Illegal Activity

Don’t use Owlbum for any illegal activity — including to promote criminal activity; facilitate or participate in cybercrime; or to buy, sell or facilitate sales of illegal or regulated drugs, contraband, weapons, and counterfeit goods or documents.

We prohibit the promotion of regulated goods or industries, including illegal gambling, tobacco products, and alcohol.

Terrorism, Hate Groups, and Hate Speech

Terrorist, extremist and hate groups are prohibited from using our platform. We have no tolerance for content that advocates or advances violent extremism or terrorism.

Hate speech or content that demeans, defames, or promotes discrimination or violence on the basis of race, colour, caste, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, or veteran status, immigration status, socio-economic status, age, weight or pregnancy status is prohibited.

Please remember that you can always file a report with us. We review these reports to determine violations of these Guidelines. Please use our contact us function. Or alternative email our contact email address.

If you violate these Community Guidelines, we may remove the offending content, terminate or limit the visibility of your account, and/or notify law enforcement. We engage with global law enforcement when activity poses a threat to human life. If your account is terminated for violating our Terms of Service or these Guidelines, you are not allowed to use Owlbum again.

Owlbum reserves the right to remove users whom we have reason to believe, in our sole discretion, pose a clear and present danger to others, on or off the Platform. These include leaders/ members of hate groups and terrorist organizations, and individuals with a reputation for inciting violence or behaviour that we believe poses a threat to human life.

Please take these Guidelines seriously and honour them in the spirit in which they are intended.

Thank you.
