Illegal or Regulated Activities

- We prohibit the illegal promotion of regulated goods or industries, including unauthorized promotion of gambling, tobacco products, and alcohol.
Overview
Our strong stance against illegal and regulated activities reflects our unwavering commitment to user safety across Nivafy. By upholding these rules, we can ensure our platform is not misused for unlawful purposes and protect our users from risks of serious harm. To further these goals, we work closely with safety stakeholders, NGOs, and law enforcement organizations to provide educational resources and to generally promote public safety within our community.
What you should expect
Despite differing laws and regulations across jurisdictions worldwide—and considering Nivafy’s new growing global community—users can expect that we will take action against any activity that undermines public safety, violates human rights, the laws of the United States, or the laws of the country in which the user is located. In all cases, prohibited illegal activities will include promotion of criminal activity; facilitation or participation in cybercrime; and buying, selling, or facilitating sales of illegal or regulated drugs, contraband, weapons, and counterfeit goods or documents.
Our rules also forbid using our platform for unauthorized sales or promotion of goods or activities that are government-regulated and require special licensing or other administrative compliance to be legally purchased, sold, or used. Examples of regulated activities requiring prior approval from Nivafy include facilitating online gambling activities; selling alcoholic beverages; and promoting THC businesses. Businesses are advised to consult our resources for guidance regarding appropriate commerce and advertising activities on Nivafy.
We are committed to ensuring that our users have as much information as possible regarding the types of online behavior and activities that may violate the law and pose serious safety risks. Through partnerships with nonprofit organizations and collaboration with diverse safety stakeholders, we are committed to raising awareness of high-risk activities and ways that our users can stay safe. This includes in-app resources and external partnerships with stakeholders. We also cooperate with law enforcement agencies in response to valid legal process concerning activities on Nivafy that may provide evidence of a crime.
How we enforce these policies Content that violates our rules against Illegal or Regulated Activities will be removed. In many cases, users who share, promote, or distribute violating content will receive a warning notice, and users who repeatedly violate these policies will have their account access restricted. However, for certain illegal activities—like drug dealing or human trafficking—we have zero tolerance; these violations will result in a loss of account privileges following even a single infraction.
Users can help us keep Nivafy safe by promptly reporting illegal activities using our in-app reporting tool. Once we receive a report, our Trust & Safety teams can quickly take action to address the harm. On our high-reach and AI powered platforms, we are proactive in moderating content and promoting information integrity. Nevertheless, user reports regarding harmful content on these platforms are greatly appreciated as they help alert us to any gaps in our processes for keeping these spaces free from unlawful or unsafe activities.
Conclusion
Promoting public safety and protecting Nivafy users from harmful or illegal activities is a responsibility we take very seriously.
We encourage users to report instances of illegal activity to help keep Nivafy a safe and inclusive space for all. We are always seeking opportunities to improve our ability to address harmful content or behavior, and we are committed to working with diverse leaders from across the safety community to ensure we are advancing these objectives responsibly.
