Community Guidelines

We want Zooop to be a safe space where anyone can be themselves while getting to know others. That's what these Community Guidelines are for: to set expectations for everyone's behavior, both on and off of the app. So read on; not following these guidelines can have real consequences-from a warning to Termination.

Zooop's Community Guidelines:

• 1. Be Mindful: Comfort levels vary person to person. That's why we don't allow nudity, sexual content, sexual desires, or looking for sex on your public profile. If you are in a private conversation, these are okay if everyone is okay with it. Consent matters. But then we suggest you behave decently while interacting with other users.
• 2. Share cautiously and thoughtfully: Don't publicly broadcast your personal information or ways for people to connect with you (no public displays of things like phone numbers, emails, or social handles). Sharing your bank account numbers or email passwords is always a bad idea. Don't ask others to send you their personal details either. Be cautious when sending money to other people. Or maybe don't at all.
• 3. No violent content: We promote positivity and won't tolerate any sort of violent content that contains gore, death, images, or descriptions of violent acts (against humans or animals), use of weapons, and anything advocating or glorifying self-harm. If we believe there's a risk of imminent harm, we may take steps to assist, like reaching out directly with crisis resources.
• 4. It's for personal usage not for business: Don't advertise, promote, share your social handles to gain followers, sell stuff, fundraise, or campaign. This also means Zooop isn't the place for any sort of sex work, escort services, or compensated relationships. So, no-don't use Zooop to find your sugarmamma.
• 5. Communicate Respectfully: Talking to new people can be tricky, especially when you're interacting with humans from all walks of life. Respect goes a long way.
• 6. Be Kind: Any acts or behavior that suggests, intends, or causes harm to another member-either on or offline, physically or digitally-will be taken very seriously. This includes anything calling for or inciting harm. If you have been hurt by someone on Zooop: first, please take care of yourself, and second, take some time to decide what you need to heal, whether that be accountability measures, disclosure, support, or all of the above. If this includes reporting the harm to us, please reach out. We are here for you.
• 7. Adults only: You must be 18 years of age or older to use Zooop. This also means we don't allow photos of unaccompanied or unclothed minors, including photos of your younger self-no matter how adorable you were back then.
• 8. Abide by the law: No illegal content or activities are allowed, ever. This means you can't use Zooop to buy or sell drugs or counterfeit goods, or ask for assistance to help you break the law. We definitely won't tolerate anyone using Zooop to advocate or participate in any sort of harm involving minors or human trafficking.
• 9. One account per person: Each account can only have one owner. For logistic and privacy reasons, we can't support multiple people accessing the same account, each individual needs to have their own. Say no to catfishing.
• 10. This is your space, post your own content: Don't post images or private messages from other people unless you've been given consent to do so. Don't post work that's copyrighted or trademarked by others.

We reserve the right to investigate and/or terminate accounts without a refund of any purchases if we find you have misused the Service or behaved in a way Zooop deems inappropriate, unlawful, or in violation of our Community Guidelines or Terms of Use, including actions or communications that occur off the Service but involve others you meet through the Service.
