Gromadan is an online platform for communication, publishing content, local communities, dating, listings, and finding information.

These Community Guidelines set out the core requirements for user conduct and the materials posted on Gromadan.

By using Gromadan, the user agrees to comply with these Guidelines, the Terms of Use, the Privacy Policy, and other rules and restrictions in effect on the site.

1. Core principles

We expect users to behave normally and respectfully.

It is prohibited to use Gromadan for illegal activity, deception, threats, harassment of others, distribution of malicious software, infringement of others’ rights, or creating a threat to the safety of users or the site.

Freedom of communication does not exempt a user from responsibility for the materials they post and the actions they take.

2. Accuracy of information

Users should, where possible, provide accurate information about themselves, their services, goods, real estate, job vacancies, and other offers.

It is prohibited to:

• impersonate another person;
• use another person’s name, photo, or other identifying data for deceptive purposes;
• create accounts or posts for fraudulent purposes;
• deliberately post information known to be false where it could harm others;
• use another person’s account or data to access the site without permission.

Gromadan does not automatically verify the accuracy of information posted by users.

3. Respectful communication

The following are prohibited:

• threats of physical harm or violence;
• harassment, intrusive behavior, and systematic intimidation;

• blackmail and extortion;
• publishing another person’s private information to pressure, harass, or harm them;
• attempts to force another user to provide photos, money, documents, or other materials through threats or blackmail.

Ordinary criticism, disagreement, debate, or a negative opinion is not, on its own, a violation, provided it is not accompanied by threats, bullying, fraud, or other prohibited conduct.

4. Personal data and privacy

Do not post other people’s personal data without a lawful basis and the necessary permission.

Such data may include, among other things, a phone number, home address, documents, bank card details, passwords, access codes, private correspondence, and other information that could identify or endanger a person.

It is prohibited to post or distribute such information for the purpose of harassment, intimidation, blackmail, fraud, or other harm.

Users are also advised not to post their own documents, banking details, passwords, verification codes, and other confidential information.

Personal data is processed on Gromadan in accordance with the Privacy Policy. The Law of Ukraine "On Personal Data Protection" governs relations related to the processing and protection of personal data.

5. Photos, videos, and images

When posting a photo, video, or other image, a user must have the necessary rights or permission to use it.

It is prohibited to:

• distribute intimate photos or videos of another person without their consent;

Anonymity must not be used for:

• threats;
• bullying;
• fraud;
• distribution of illegal content;
• violation of another person’s privacy;

15. Content reports

A user can report a violation via the Report page or through Gromadan’s contact address.

Where possible, please provide:

• a link to the page or material;
• the username or another identifier;
• a description of the violation;
• the reason for the report;
• any additional information that will help verify the situation.

For copyright reports, it is also advisable to include information confirming your rights to the work and the specific material that allegedly infringes those rights.

A report does not, on its own, result in the automatic removal of material. Gromadan reviews reports and makes a decision based on their content, the circumstances, and applicable rules.

16. Moderation

To ensure the site’s safety and normal operation, Gromadan may use automated and manual moderation methods.

The following may be taken into account, among other things:

• the content of the post;
• images and other materials;
• user reports;
• the recurrence of violations;
• reports received;
• indicators of spam or fraud;
• technical security signals;
• the account’s history of violations.

Depending on the situation, Gromadan may:

• remove a specific piece of material;
• restrict its visibility;
• temporarily restrict a specific feature;
• request additional information;
• temporarily restrict an account;
• block an account;
• leave material unchanged if the violation is not confirmed.

The measure taken depends on the nature of the violation, its consequences, recurrence, and other circumstances.

17. Repeated and serious violations

Repeated violations may lead to longer or permanent account restrictions.

Serious violations that create a threat to people’s safety, a significant risk of fraud, the distribution of malicious software, the unlawful distribution of intimate materials, or other material risks may be grounds for immediately restricting access to the relevant material or account.

In cases provided for by law, information may be retained or transferred to competent authorities.

18. Appealing moderation decisions

A user can contact Gromadan regarding the removal of material, the restriction of a feature, or an account block.

In the appeal, it is advisable to include:

• the account address or identifier;
• a link to the material, if available;
• a description of the situation;
• the reason the user believes the decision was incorrect.

Gromadan may reconsider a decision if additional information or grounds for a further review emerge.

19. User safety

If a user encounters threats, blackmail, fraud, the non-consensual distribution of intimate materials, or another dangerous situation, it is recommended that they preserve evidence and, if necessary, contact the appropriate authorities.

Gromadan may assist in processing reports within its technical capabilities and legal requirements; however, it does not replace law enforcement, courts, lawyers, or other competent institutions.

20. What to do if you are unsure

Before posting material, ask yourself:

Do I have the right to post this?

Does it violate someone else’s privacy?

Could this material mislead people?

Could it cause someone unjustified harm?

Does it comply with the law and these Guidelines?

If the answer is unclear, it is better not to post the material or to contact Gromadan first.
