COMMUNITY GUIDELINES
Welcome to Luupli! We're excited to have you join our vibrant community of people who share a passion for human connection.
In today's interconnected digital world, where information flows freely, ensuring user safety and creating a healthy online environment is a top priority for us. Luupli is committed to building a safer and more user-centred online community, and our Policies reflect this dedication. That is why by using Luppli, you commit to abide by these Community Guidelines as well as our Policies and Terms of Use.
Our Principles
At Luupli we want to do things differently. Better. That is why we focus on four key principles:
1. Stronger Safety Governance:
Safety is a fundamental part of our culture. This means that safety is prioritised throughout, from the Board of Directors to our product and engineering teams. We've established robust safety governance structures and processes to ensure that safety is at the forefront of our decision-making.
2. Safety by Design:
We don't consider safety as an afterthought but as a core element in how we design and operate our services. Our policies ensure that safety is integrated into the very foundation of our products and services, from their development to their use. This approach helps prevent harm and reduce risks in online interactions, thereby protecting users.
3. User Choice and Control:
We understand that our users have diverse needs and preferences. That's why we provide features and tools that allow users to customise their online experiences, control the content they see, and set their digital boundaries. This empowers users to have more control over their online interactions and fosters a sense of ownership in the digital world.
4. Transparency and Trust:
Trust is vital in any online community. Luupli is committed to being transparent about our safety measures and decision-making processes. We believe in open and honest communication about our policies and practices to keep users well-informed and maintain their trust.
In summary, Luupli's Community Guidelines demonstrate our commitment to creating a safer, user-centred, and transparent digital environment. Through stronger safety governance, safety-conscious design, user empowerment, and transparency, we aim to provide a platform where users can interact and express themselves with confidence, knowing their safety will always be a top priority.
