Community Guidelines


Updated August 17th, 2022

Please take a few moments to review our Community Guidelines to confirm that you will abide by them by using your BrandID


Adult content

To ensure that visitors, including minors, can make informed decisions while using a form of adult content, you will ensure that;

  1. the content you’re linking to is legal in your region
  2. the media on your BrandID, such as your avatar, remains suitable for all ages, and
  3. you enable the sensitive content label appropriately, especially if you're embedding content feeds that may contain adult material
Hate speech

BrandID is a place to share beliefs and ideas as long as it does not cause harm, incite hatred or violence, or discriminate against individuals and groups based on race, skin color, national origin, religious beliefs, sex, gender, sexual orientation, age, veteran status, disability or medical condition. We’re also not a platform that should be used to glorify perpetrators of hatred, violence, or discrimination either.

Don’t use BrandID to impede your local/national electoral process, which includes misleading the public about where and how to participate, or about who can participate, and selling or attempting to sell your right to vote.

URLs

BrandID usernames are meant for everyone-- so don’t buy, sell, hoard or trade them. Don’t secure a username without the intention of using it, or with the intention to ‘domain squat’, i.e. to prevent someone else from using it, or to profit from reselling it. This is illegal in some countries, and BrandID does not allow it.

BrandID has a no tolerance policy for child harm. Do not upload or link out to content that harms minors or endorses harming minors, including: child sexual abuse material, solicitation of minors, and imagery that feature underage individuals within an inappropriate context. We actively report any such cases of child endangerment or harm uploaded to or linked out from BrandID to relevant authorities, e.g. the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.

Self-harm

We want BrandID to be a place where users can feel safe as they discuss the journey of recovery in a healthy way but we also want users to feel safe when visiting, so we prohibit content that promotes or idealizes suicide, self-mutilation, disordered eating, or potentially harmful alternatives to medical treatment.

We don’t allow BrandID profiles that expose others’ personal identifying information (billing details, IDs, etc.), collect identifying information without the appropriate legal basis (including IP addresses), or expose private media (image-based sexual abuse, etc.). We also don’t allow BrandID profiles that impersonate other individuals or organizations.
