ZOYALINK Content Policy

1. Introduction & Scope

This Content Policy governs all material uploaded, displayed, and shared through ZOYALINK, whether via the website zoyalink.com or the ZOYALINK Android app (together, the “Service”). It applies to all users and covers stories, images, videos, captions, comments, usernames, profile photos, and bios.

By creating an account or uploading content, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to this policy. It forms an integral part of our Terms of Service and should be read together with our Privacy Policy. In case of inconsistency, the stricter provision that better protects users prevails.

Users are fully responsible for all content uploaded through their accounts.

2. Core Principles

As outlined on our About page, our platform is built on three principles:

Transparency: valid views and estimated balances can be tracked directly in your account dashboard.
Fairness: every user has an equal opportunity for reach through the Creator Program, and rules are applied to all users without exception.
Authenticity: we prioritize original content that brings informative and positive value to the community.

3. General Content Standards

All uploaded content must meet the following standards:

Ownership: you own the content or hold valid permission from the rights holder to publish it.
Honesty: titles, captions, and images fairly represent the content and do not mislead readers.
Relevance: captions and descriptions relate to the uploaded content, and are not random or repetitive text, or intended solely to manipulate search.
Third-party rights: content does not infringe the copyright, trademark, privacy, or other rights of individuals or entities.
Legal compliance: content does not violate applicable laws and regulations.
Technical requirements: video files must not exceed 100MB. Corrupted, unplayable, or unsupported files may be rejected by the system.

4. Prohibited Content

ZOYALINK strictly prohibits publishing content in the categories below. This list is illustrative and does not limit our authority to act against other content that in substance endangers users or the Service.

4.1 Illegal & Harmful Content

Promotion or operation of online gambling, including links and invitations to play.
Sale, promotion, or facilitation of narcotics, firearms, explosives, and other prohibited goods.
Scams, fake investment or income schemes, phishing links, and attempts to steal accounts or other users' data.
Hacking, malware, and distribution of tools or guides for committing cybercrime.
Any other unlawful activity.

4.2 Child Exploitation

Any material that depicts, involves, or endangers minors, including sexual exploitation, bullying, and exploitative solicitation, is absolutely prohibited without exception. Such content will be removed immediately, the associated accounts permanently deleted, and the matter may be reported to the competent authorities.

4.3 Pornography & Adult Material

Pornography, explicit nudity in images or videos, explicit sexual content, and links to or promotion of adult content sites or services.

4.4 Hate Speech & Violence

Content that attacks, demeans, or incites hostility based on ethnicity, religion, race, group affiliation, disability, gender, or orientation.
Support, glorification, or propaganda of terrorism and extremist groups.
Threats of violence, calls to commit violence, and depictions of violence or cruelty without educational or journalistic value.

4.5 Self-Harm

Content that encourages, glorifies, or provides instructions for self-harm or suicide. Educational discussion that supports recovery is permitted.

4.6 Harassment & Privacy Violations

Bullying, harassment, intimidation, or personal attacks against other users.
Publishing another person's personal data without permission, such as addresses, phone numbers, or identity documents.
Uploading photos or videos of other people, especially private or intimate ones, without their consent.

4.7 Misinformation & Impersonation

Hoaxes or deliberately manipulated information likely to harm the public.
Pretending to be another individual, organization, or party, including using someone else's name, photo, or identity to mislead.
False claims about health, finance, or products that may harm readers.

4.8 Copyright & Intellectual Property Infringement

Re-uploading movies, music, photos, videos, articles, or other works belonging to third parties without authorization or without substantial transformation resulting in a clearly original work. Rights holders who believe their rights have been infringed may submit a report through the official contact in the Contact Us section.

4.9 Spam & Platform Manipulation

Mass, repetitive, or irrelevant uploads intended to flood the feed.
Creating multiple accounts to evade sanctions or gain unfair advantage.
Any attempt to deceive the view, balance, or other systems of the Service, as further regulated in the Valid Views Policy.

5. Reposting & External Links

ZOYALINK advises against re-uploading the same content or spreading external links (URLs) in content, captions, or comments. Such practices may narrow the reach of your content and degrade the experience of other users.

Repeated uploads of identical or highly similar content may be treated as spam.
Links to external sites that are misleading, harmful, or violate this policy will be removed and may be sanctioned.
Content primarily aimed at directing readers off the Service may have its distribution reduced or be removed.

6. Spam Protection & Posting Interval

To preserve platform stability and feed quality, ZOYALINK applies an automated spam protection system to publishing activity.

5-Minute Publishing Cooldown

After you publish a post, the system applies a 5-minute cooldown before you can publish the next one.

Purpose: to prevent mass irrelevant uploads, protect other users' experience, and give each piece of content a fair chance at distribution.
Resuming: once the cooldown ends, you may publish new content as usual.

Attempts to circumvent this cooldown, including through multiple accounts or automated means, constitute a violation of this policy.

7. Valid Views Policy

ZOYALINK provides estimated balances only for interactions from genuine users. The rules for counting valid views are as follows.

Valid View Requirement

A view is considered valid as long as there is genuine user interaction with your content, whether on the home feed or on the post detail page. Recognized forms of interaction are:

Watching a video you uploaded;
Reading a story or article you published;
Viewing an image you uploaded.

Content that is merely loaded or passes by on a page without any user interaction is not considered a valid view and is not converted into balance. Interaction is assessed according to criteria set by the ZOYALINK system.

The following are prohibited and may cause views to be cancelled:

Use of bots, automated scripts, auto-clicker software, or traffic exchange networks.
Manipulating the origin of views, including using a VPN or proxy to disguise identity or location.
Unnatural repeated clicks or visits from the same device or network.
Embedding content links in pop-up ads, hidden frames, or elements that force users to open content.
Requesting, exchanging, or trading views and interactions.

ZOYALINK reserves the right to filter, cancel, and adjust views that do not meet these requirements. View counts and balances displayed are estimates and may be adjusted after review.

8. Moderation & Reporting

This policy is enforced through two channels: moderation by ZOYALINK and user reports.

ZOYALINK may review content and accounts proactively, through automated systems or manual review.
Users can report suspected violations using the Report feature on the relevant post.
Moderation decisions are based on this policy, the Terms of Service, and applicable law.
We may act first, including temporarily hiding content, while review is ongoing.

Reports made in good faith are handled confidentially. Abuse of the report feature, such as mass and baseless reporting, may be sanctioned.

9. Enforcement Actions

Any content deemed to violate this policy, based on ZOYALINK moderation or user reports, may be subject to the following actions, individually or together, according to the severity of the violation:

a. Content Removal

ZOYALINK may remove or hide violating content without prior notice.

b. Balance Deduction

For content removed due to a violation, ZOYALINK may deduct from the user's account balance the amount of earnings generated by that content, as such earnings are considered not lawfully obtained.

c. Temporary Suspension

Repeated violations may result in the account being temporarily suspended. During suspension, the user may be restricted from uploading content, interacting, or using balance-related features.

d. Permanent Account Deletion

Violations that continue after suspension, as well as serious violations, may result in the account being permanently deleted. Serious violations include, among others, child exploitation, fraud, systematic manipulation of views, and creating multiple accounts to evade sanctions. For serious violations, sanctions may be imposed without prior warning.

In certain cases, ZOYALINK may provide relevant information to the competent authorities as required by law and as described in our Privacy Policy.

The type of sanction takes into account the nature and severity of the violation, the violation history, and its impact on other users and the Service. ZOYALINK is not obliged to disclose every detail of the detection mechanisms it uses.

10. Objections & Appeals

The objection or appeal mechanism is available only to users whose accounts are currently suspended. On the suspended account screen, the user will find an appeal form that can be completed to request a review of the suspension.

Appeals can only be submitted through that form. Appeals are not processed by email or any other channel.
State your reasons clearly and honestly so that your appeal can be properly reviewed.
ZOYALINK will review the appeal, and its decision is final in accordance with the Terms of Service.

11. Changes to This Policy

ZOYALINK may update this Content Policy from time to time to reflect developments in the Service, patterns of abuse, or changes in law. The latest version is always published on this page together with its effective date. By continuing to use the Service after changes take effect, you accept the updated policy.
