Photo Upload Rules

Allowed public photos

Clear selfies, portraits, lifestyle photos, travel photos, gym photos, beach photos, and shirtless photos may be allowed when they are not sexually explicit.

Face photos are encouraged but should not be mandatory unless Hoorly later introduces a verified-profile product requirement.

Public photos may show style, body confidence, nightlife, fitness, hobbies, pets, travel, and social moments. The photo should help someone understand who you are, not function as explicit sexual content.

Group photos may be allowed when everyone appears adult, the profile owner is reasonably clear, and no private or embarrassing information about other people is exposed.

Context matters

A shirtless beach photo can be acceptable when it looks natural. The same amount of skin in a bedroom pose may be rejected if the image is sexually focused.

Fitness, swimwear, fashion, nightlife, travel, and lifestyle photos should be framed as profile expression rather than sexual advertising.

Underwear, towel, bed, locker-room, shower, crotch-focused, or arousal-focused framing is more likely to be rejected, even if the image does not show full nudity.

A close crop that emphasizes genitals, buttocks, pubic area, bulge, or sexual arousal is not suitable for public profile photos.

Not allowed

Public photos may not include explicit nudity, genital or anal focus, sexual acts, pornography, arousal-focused poses, hate symbols, threats, scams, QR codes, private contact details, or stolen photos.

Photos must not show or sexualize anyone under 18.

Public photos may not include sex toys, fetish equipment used in a sexualized way, bodily fluids, explicit captions, sexual price lists, paid sexual service promotion, or content that looks like commercial adult advertising.

Photos may not promote illegal drug sales, weapons intimidation, violence, self-harm, gore, exploitation, blackmail, harassment, or hate against protected groups.

Photos may not contain phone numbers, addresses, email addresses, payment handles, social handles, QR codes, identity documents, license plates, boarding passes, or other private information.

Identity and privacy

Do not upload another person’s photo without permission. Do not use celebrity photos, influencer images, fake AI identities, or images designed to impersonate someone.

Public photos should not include phone numbers, addresses, email addresses, social handles, QR codes, license plates, payment details, or private documents.

AI-generated or heavily edited photos may be allowed as creative expression, but they must not impersonate real people, mislead others about your identity, or create a fake verification impression.

Screenshots of private chats, private albums, other users’ profiles, or another person’s intimate media are not allowed without clear consent.

Mobile app review statuses

Hoorly should show simple upload statuses in the app: Pending review, Approved, Needs changes, Rejected, and Account restricted.

When a photo is rejected, the app should show a short reason such as Explicit nudity, Sexualized pose, Private information, Impersonation, Underage concern, Hate or violence, Commercial spam, or Low quality / unclear image.

For severe categories such as underage concern, non-consensual intimate content, threats, hate, exploitation, or illegal activity, Hoorly should restrict visibility immediately and send the case to safety review.

Public vs private spaces

Public profile photos are the strictest because they appear in discovery surfaces, app store review contexts, and public-facing user experiences.

Private albums or direct messages may have different product rules, but Hoorly should still prohibit minors, non-consensual intimate media, threats, harassment, exploitation, illegal content, and abuse.

Users should be able to report any photo, whether public or private, when it violates safety rules or consent.

Review and appeals

Hoorly may automatically or manually review public photos before or after they appear. Review can include automated safety checks, user reports, and human moderation.

Rejected photos should show a short reason and allow the user to upload a safer replacement or appeal when appropriate.

Repeated violations may lead to temporary upload limits, feature restrictions, account suspension, or permanent account closure.
