Community Guidelines

Pulse is for talking with people you know and trust. These rules keep it that way. They apply to every message, photo, profile and group, and they're part of our Terms of Service.

Zero tolerance for child sexual exploitation

Any content that sexualises or exploits anyone under 18 is banned. We remove it, permanently ban the account straight away, and report it to the relevant authorities.

What's not allowed

We have no tolerance for objectionable content or abusive behaviour. If it breaks these rules, it comes down.

Harassment and bullyingNo insulting, shaming, or messaging someone who has asked you to stop. Don't pile on anyone in a group.

Threats and violenceNo threats against anyone, no encouraging violence, and no graphic violent content.

Hate speechNo attacking people for their race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, disability, sex, gender identity or sexual orientation.

Intimate images without consentNever share, or threaten to share, intimate photos of someone without their consent. That includes captures of view-once photos.

Private informationDon't share someone else's address, phone number, ID or other personal details without their permission.

Spam and scamsNo bulk or unwanted messages, fake giveaways, phishing links, or tricking people out of money or passwords.

ImpersonationDon't pretend to be another person, brand or organisation, or use a misleading name or photo.

Self-harmDon't promote or encourage suicide, self-harm or eating disorders. Talking about your own struggles and supporting each other is welcome.

Illegal activityNo selling or arranging illegal goods or services, including drugs and weapons, and no content that breaks the law.

How reports are handled

Every report is read by a person on our team. The person you report is never told who reported them.

1You reportPress and hold a message, or open a profile, and tap Report. You can block them at the same time.
2We reviewUsually within 24 hours. We look at the reported messages and the account's history.
3We actWe remove what breaks the rules and take action on the account, matched to how serious it is.
4We let you knowYou get a notification once your report has been reviewed.

What we can do

Remove contentAny message or photo that breaks these rules.

WarningA first, less serious breach.

SuspensionRepeated or serious breaches. The account can't send messages for 7 days.

Permanent banSevere harm, threats, child exploitation, or continued breaches after a suspension. Banned people may not create a new account.

When someone's safety is at risk, or the law requires it, we may also share information with law enforcement, as described in our Privacy Policy.

You can always block

You don't need to report someone to stop hearing from them. Block them from their profile and they can no longer message you or add you to groups.

Think we got it wrong?

If we took action on your account and you think it was a mistake, email plinthtechnologiesconsult@gmail.com within 30 days. Someone who wasn't involved in the first decision will look at it again.
