Community Guidelines

Last updated: February 2, 2026

Simyr exists to help you share real moments with friends who actually know you. These guidelines protect that mission and the people in our community.

What Simyr Is For

Simyr is a place for authentic connection through photo and video sharing. We built features like limited daily posts, meaningful reactions, and a feed that ends because we believe social apps should make you feel better, not worse.

Who Can Use Simyr

Simyr is for adults only. You must be at least 18 years old to create an account. We enforce this through age verification during registration and platform-level restrictions on app stores.

For more information, see our Child Safety Standards.

Respecting Others

Your Simyr network is made up of real connections—people who accepted your invite. Treat them with respect.

Be considerate

• Remember there's a real person on the other side of every profile
• Use reactions to support and connect, not to mock or dismiss
• Respect boundaries—if someone blocks you, don't try to circumvent it
• Don't share someone else's posts or information outside Simyr without their permission

No harassment or bullying

• Don't target individuals with unwanted, hostile, or degrading content
• Don't coordinate with others to harass someone
• Don't use Simyr to stalk, intimidate, or threaten anyone
• Don't create accounts to evade blocks or continue unwanted contact

Prohibited Content

Some content has no place on Simyr. We remove this content and may terminate accounts that post it.

Hate speech

We don't allow content that attacks people based on race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, or serious medical conditions. This includes:

• Slurs and dehumanizing language
• Harmful stereotypes presented as fact
• Calls for exclusion or segregation
• Content denying well-documented historical atrocities

Graphic and disturbing content

Simyr is for sharing moments from your life, not shocking imagery. We don't allow:

• Gratuitous violence or gore
• Dead bodies or graphic injury
• Animal cruelty
• Content designed solely to shock or disturb

Nudity and sexual content

Simyr is not a platform for sexual content. We don't allow:

• Explicit sexual imagery or pornography
• Sexual solicitation
• Unsolicited sexual content in reactions or messages

Exceptions may apply for non-sexual contexts like breastfeeding, art, or health-related content—but when in doubt, don't post it.

Misinformation

We may remove content that spreads demonstrably false information that could cause real-world harm, including:

• Health misinformation that could endanger lives
• Manipulated media designed to deceive
• False information about civic processes (voting, census)

Authenticity

Simyr works because people are who they say they are. Keep it real.

Be yourself

• Don't impersonate real people, brands, or organizations
• Don't pretend to be someone you're not to deceive others
• Parody or fan accounts aren't permitted—this is a personal sharing app

One account per person

• You may only have one Simyr account
• Don't create accounts to evade bans or blocks
• Don't use automated tools or bots

No spam

• Don't use Simyr to promote products, services, or schemes
• Don't send mass invites to people you don't know
• Don't manipulate connections for commercial purposes

Safety and Security

Protect yourself

• Don't share sensitive personal information (addresses, financial info, ID numbers)
• Be cautious about who you share invite links with
• Use a strong, unique password for your account

Protect others

• Don't share other people's private information without consent (doxxing)
• Don't attempt to access accounts that aren't yours
• Report security vulnerabilities to us rather than exploiting them

Intellectual Property

Respect others' creative work:

• Only post content you created or have permission to share
• Don't use Simyr to distribute copyrighted material you don't own
• We respond to valid DMCA takedown requests

Reporting Violations

If you see something that violates these guidelines, please report it. Reporting is confidential—the person you report won't know who filed the report.

How to report

• By email: Contact safety@holeaux.com

When you report, please include as much context as possible. What specifically concerns you? When did it happen? This helps us investigate quickly.

What happens after you report

• Our team reviews reports typically within 24 hours
• We may contact you for additional information
• We take action based on the severity of the violation
• We may not always share the outcome due to privacy considerations

Enforcement

When someone violates these guidelines, we take action proportional to the severity of the violation.

Violation Severity	Possible Actions
Minor or first-time	Warning, content removal, temporary feature restrictions
Repeated or serious	Temporary suspension, permanent feature restrictions
Severe (illegal content, threats, CSAM)	Immediate permanent ban, report to law enforcement

We consider factors including:

• Severity of the violation
• Whether the behavior was intentional
• Prior violations on the account
• Potential for real-world harm

Appeals

If you believe we made a mistake in enforcing these guidelines against your account or content, you can appeal.

How to appeal

• Email appeals@holeaux.com within 30 days of the action
• Include your username and explain why you believe the decision was incorrect
• Provide any relevant context or evidence

We review appeals and aim to respond within 7 days. Our decision on appeal is final.

Your Tools

You have control over your Simyr experience:

• Block: Prevent someone from seeing your content or contacting you
• Remove connection: End a connection without blocking
• Report: Flag content or behavior that violates these guidelines
• Delete: Remove your own posts at any time
• Leave: Delete your account and data whenever you want

Changes to These Guidelines

We may update these Community Guidelines as Simyr evolves. When we make significant changes, we'll notify you in the app. Continued use of Simyr after changes means you accept the updated guidelines.
