User-Generated Content (UGC)

Pineapple allows members to share posts, photos, comments, and messages. Because our app contains user-generated content, we are required by Apple and Google to provide robust moderation systems, clear community rules, and responsive reporting tools.

All users must agree to our Community Guidelines and Terms of Service before posting. Content that violates these policies will be removed, and repeat or serious offenders will be permanently banned.

PLATFORM REQUIREMENTS

Apple App Store

Under Apple's App Store Review Guidelines (Section 1.2 — User Generated Content), apps with UGC must:

  • Provide a method for filtering objectionable content
  • Provide a mechanism for users to flag objectionable content
  • Provide a mechanism for users to block abusive users
  • Provide a published contact method so users can reach us about concerns
  • Have the ability to remove objectionable content and eject users who violate terms

Google Play

Google Play's User Generated Content policy requires apps to implement:

  • In-app user reporting and flagging of objectionable UGC
  • Blocking of users who upload or send objectionable content
  • Moderation of UGC including the ability to remove content
  • A published Terms of Use and Community Guidelines that users must accept
  • Age-appropriate content controls (Pineapple is 18+ only)
