Effective Date: 11 January 2024

At Shane, we aim to create a safe and supportive platform for the LGBTQ+ community. By using our platform, you agree to follow these guidelines:

Prohibited Activities

1. Outing Individuals or Entities: Outing people or organisations without their consent is strictly prohibited.

• The only exceptions are public figures who are already publicly out.

• We will not allow naming of other users, staff, or private individuals in reviews, ratings, or any content.

2. Data Scraping or Extraction: Scraping, harvesting, or automating the collection of data from Shane’s platform is not allowed.

3. Hate Speech or Harassment: Sharing hateful, discriminatory, or harassing content is prohibited.

4. Defamatory or Harmful Content: Do not post false, defamatory, or harmful reviews or information.

Allow List for Unsafe Regions

In countries where it is unsafe or illegal to be LGBTQ+, Shane will use an allow list approach. Who can be listed:

• Advocacy Groups or International Organizations active in the region (e.g., UNHCR, Human Rights Watch).

• Local LGBTQ+ organizations that are publicly active in the country.

• Any entity that has explicitly requested to be listed as a ratable entity.

Enforcement

Violations of this policy may result in:

• Content removal.

• Suspension or termination of accounts.

• Legal action if applicable.
