Community Guidelines

It’s important to us that the experiences and perspectives shared on Ubiatar help foster an inclusive community. We’ve developed these Guidelines as a way to help you understand the types of content, actions, requests and dialogue to avoid in order to help us achieve this. We ask that you seek to understand their spirit and intent, and work with us to uphold them. In short, acknowledge others’ sensitivities and viewpoints, and seek to add to the global human experience, rather than detract from it.

The Basics

While there are a number of factors that we evaluate to determine whether or not we remove content and/or ban users, there are are some basic rules that everyone on Ubiatar should follow.

Do not post content or request/perform actions that:

Depict pornography or sexual acts. This includes intercourse, masturbation and sexual nudity. Nudity that is intentionally artistic, educational, or associated with newsworthy events may be acceptable. We also have zero tolerance for any form of child or animal sexual exploitation.
Promotes or depicts unnecessary violence or graphic imagery. We understand that sometimes graphic content can be newsworthy, so we may allow broadcasts that are deemed as such.
Encourages, promotes, or depicts self-harm or suicide.

Has an unlawful purpose or furthers illegal activity. We ask that you agree to comply with all local laws regarding online and offline conduct and acceptable content.
Intends to impersonate a person or brand with the intent to mislead, confuse or deceive others. Parody, commentary or fan accounts should be labeled as such.

If you believe that your content has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, you can report it to us at copyright@ubiatar.com

Intends only to incite or engage in the targeted harassment of others. This includes content that promotes or depicts the abuse of other people or the disruption of another person’s broadcasting experience.

Discloses or threatens to expose someone’s private information without their consent. This includes releasing another person’s private or confidential contact info, or their videos or images that are considered and treated as private under applicable laws.
