Hily Community Rules

Effective date: Mar 21, 2024
TABLE OF CONTENTS

Welcome to the Hily Community. It is a safe place to be yourself, meet new people, build long-lasting friendships and real connections. All we request from you is to maintain respect, honesty, and adhere to our Community Rules, Moderation Policy, and other Hily policies.

Hily Community Rules

These Hily Community Rules constitute an integral part of the Hily Terms of Use and supplement them as provided below.

BE REAL

Hily is not a place to create fake accounts for abuse, deception or fraud. We recommend to Block or Report any acts of deceptive activity.

Show your real self in the app. Impersonating other people in the app, including celebrities, is prohibited and will lead to account permanent ban. We create Hily to help people get to know each other and build connections.  So be real, put your real name, photos and keep your profile information up-to-date. To make others sure that your profile is legit – verify your profile by photo. This will increase the number of your incoming likes and messages. 

AGE RESTRICTIONS

You must be at least 18 (or the age of majority in places where 18 years is not the age of majority) to use Hily. Any violation or suspected violation of this age limit will result in suspension of the account. 

If you are communicating or suspecting to communicate with another user who is underage, you should report such a profile immediately. Withholding information will also be considered as a violation of these Rules.  

SHOW RESPECT TO OTHERS

RESPECT THE PRIVACY

If a user blocks you, don’t try to contact this person from any other account. You are expected to respect the privacy of every member of the community. Do not force the users to give out their personal information unless they want to. Report all cases of violation of these Rules by the in-app report function. That will help us to keep Hily and its users safe.

HATE SPEECH & DISCRIMINATION

Everyone is entitled to be treated respectfully. We maintain a firm stance against hate speech. While we stand for freedom of expression, any content that expresses discrimination based on including, but not limited to, appearance, race, color, sex, language, religious affiliation, political views, national or social origin, property, birth or another status, sexual orientation or gender identity is prohibited. 

ABUSE, HARASSMENT & BULLYING

We strongly discourage any acts of physical abuse, intimidation or bullying against other users. There is a zero-tolerance policy towards harassment of any kind (blackmailing, threatening, self-harm and suicide, verbal aggression in both video and text content etc.).

REMEMBER ABOUT SAFETY 

CHILD EXPLOITATION & ABUSE

Hily is committed to maintaining a safe and respectful environment for all users, strictly enforcing a zero-tolerance policy towards any actions or content that endorse, promote, or facilitate the sexual exploitation and/or abuse of children. Such content will be removed and your account permanently banned.

SENSITIVE INFORMATION

Although Hily is a safe place to communicate with others, please do not share publicly yours or anyone else’s personally identifiable information such as social security numbers, IDs or passports, home or work addresses, emails, passwords, social media accounts, financial information or location. 

MESSAGES & SPAM

Copy-pasting messages to a great number of users and driving other users to external websites via a link or otherwise is not a good way to get around. Instead, check the profile information before sending messages to your matches and send something personal. That will certainly lead you to an engaging chat. Sending over repetitive messages may result in the suspension of the account.

SCAMMING

Predatory behavior of any kind is prohibited on Hily. Any attempt to get other users’ private information for fraudulent or illegal activity may lead to account ban. Sharing your own financial account information (PayPal, Venmo, Cash App etc.) for the purpose of receiving money from other users may result in permanent ban of your account. If you are asked for financial help in chats, please report such cases immediately. This will help us keep our users safe.

The user that  attempts to deceive others and spread intentionally untrue information will be banned. Show your real self in the app. Impersonating other people in the app, including celebrities, is prohibited.

SEXTORTION

Be aware and secure yourself from the sextortion: the scammer poses as a potential partner on a dating app, sends their own and asks for explicit photos and then threatens to share the images and conversation with the victim’s friends, family or employer unless the victim sends money. 

In order to evade a risk of extortion and not to become the victim of this scamming scheme you may follow these recommendations:

  • Check out to whom you’re talking. Do a reverse-image search of the person’s photo. If the photo is associated with another name or details don’t match up, that’s a sign of a scam.
  • Don’t share personal information such as your cell number, email or social-media profile with someone you just met on an app. 
  • Don’t pay scammers to destroy photos or conversations; there’s no guarantee they will.

SEXUAL SERVICES AND PROMOTION

Hily is a place for communication and fun, not for selling and advertising any goods or services. Sexual or financial solicitation, commercial use of the app is completely prohibited. By these we mean:

  • Hily is not a place for unsolicited advertising, promotional materials or other solicitation material, bulk mailing of commercial advertising or any actions alike. 
  • It is not allowed to offer services in exchange for direct financial assistance or gifts, conduct research, or to promote anything on Hily. 
  • Sexual solicitation also includes any promotion of massage services, escort services, sharing of OnlyFans links, cam shows, PayPal links, sugar daddy/baby arrangements, Amazon or other wishlist links, or direct links or requests for donations. 
  • It is also prohibited to flash money in the content you create for any purposes.

Sharing explicit sexual images/videos of someone else without their valid consent (this would include, namely: non-consensual distribution of intimate images, also commonly referred to as “revenge porn”) is prohibited.

Any violation of this rule will result in your losing access to your account. 

ILLEGAL CONTENT 

Any media content that contains illegal actions or goods is strictly prohibited (that includes usage of cannabis and other substances, videos of someone committing a crime or doing). 

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

Sharing of content without the permission of its creator may be considered as  infringement of intellectual property rights. So when sharing something publicly, make sure that you own the copyright. Every IP infringement report will be considered seriously and may lead to the permanent removal of the content in question from the app.

ILLEGAL ACTIONS WITH THE SERVICE
