Policies and Safety

When you use glitsy^TM, you join a community of people from all over the world. Every cool, new community feature on glitsy^TM involves a certain level of trust. Millions of users respect that trust and we trust you to be responsible too. Following the guidelines below helps to keep glitsy^TM fun and enjoyable for everyone. You might not like everything that you see on glitsy^TM. If you think that content is inappropriate, use the flagging feature to submit it for review by our glitsy^TM staff. Our staff carefully reviews flagged content 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to determine whether there’s a violation of our Community Guidelines.

Community Guidelines

Here are some common-sense rules that’ll help you steer clear of trouble. Please take these rules seriously and take them to heart. Don’t try to look for loopholes or try to lawyer your way around the guidelines—just understand them and try to respect the spirit in which they were created.

Nudity or sexual content

glitsy^TM is not for pornography or sexually explicit content. If this describes your video, even if it’s a video of yourself, don’t post it on glitsy^TM. Also, be advised that we work closely with law enforcement and we report child exploitation.

Harmful or dangerous content

Don’t post videos that encourage others to do things that might cause them to get badly hurt, especially kids. Videos showing such harmful or dangerous acts may be age-restricted or removed depending on their severity.

Hateful content

Our products are platforms for free expression. But we don’t support content that promotes or condones violence against individuals or groups based on race or ethnic origin, religion, disability, gender, age, nationality, veteran status or sexual orientation/gender identity, or whose primary purpose is inciting hatred on the basis of these core characteristics. This can be a delicate balancing act, but if the primary purpose is to attack a protected group, the content crosses the line.

Violent or graphic content

It’s not okay to post violent or gory content that’s primarily intended to be shocking, sensational or gratuitous. If posting graphic content in a news or documentary context, please be mindful to provide enough information to help people understand what’s going on in the video. Don’t encourage others to commit specific acts of violence.

Harassment and cyberbullying

It’s not OK to post abusive videos and comments on glitsy^TM. If harassment crosses the line into a malicious attack it can be reported and may be removed. In other cases, users may be mildly annoying or petty and should be ignored.

Spam, misleading metadata and scams

Everyone hates spam. Don’t create misleading descriptions, tags, titles or thumbnails in order to increase views. It’s not okay to post large amounts of untargeted, unwanted or repetitive content, including comments and private messages.

Threats

Things like predatory behaviour, stalking, threats, harassment, intimidation, invading privacy, revealing other people’s personal information and inciting others to commit violent acts or to violate the Terms of Use are taken very seriously. Anyone caught doing these things may be permanently banned from glitsy^TM.

Copyright

Respect copyright. Only upload videos that you made or that you’re authorised to use. This means don’t upload videos that you didn’t make, or use content in your videos that someone else owns the copyright to, such as music tracks, snippets of copyrighted programs or videos made by other users, without necessary authorisations. Visit our Copyright Centre for more information

Privacy

If someone has posted your personal information or uploaded a video of you without your consent, you can request removal of content based on our Privacy Guidelines.

Impersonation

Accounts that are established to impersonate another channel or individual may be removed under our impersonation policy.

Child safety

Learn about how we protect minors in the glitsy^TM ecosystem. Also, be advised that we work closely with law enforcement and we report child endangerment.

If a glitsy^TM creator’s on- and/or off-platform behaviour harms our users, community, employees or ecosystem, we may respond based on a number of factors including, but not limited to, the egregiousness of their actions and whether a pattern of harmful behaviour exists. Our response will range from suspending a creator’s privileges to account termination.
