Safety
Keep the shopping
fantasy safe to share.
KindaBought is an 18+ simulation, but its community rules are real. These guidelines apply to profiles, brands, products, images, descriptions, reports, and receipt shares.
What belongs here
Original or properly authorized product content; accurate, non-deceptive descriptions; playful but non-targeted receipt language; and brands that clearly understand that KindaBought measures simulated intent rather than actual commerce.
What we do not allow
- Content involving minors, sexual exploitation, non-consensual intimate imagery, or sexualized youth.
- Threats, targeted harassment, hateful or extremist content, violence promotion, self-harm encouragement, or illegal, dangerous, regulated, or controlled goods and services.
- Personal data, contact details, payment data, crypto-wallet addresses, suspicious links, malware, scams, or instructions to move payment off-platform.
- Counterfeit claims, deceptive affiliation, rights-infringing imagery or copy, deceptive pricing, or content you do not have permission to publish.
- Any attempt to turn a simulated shopper order into a real payment, shipping, fulfillment, or off-platform transaction.
What happens when something is flagged
Private drafts move through automated file, text, and image checks before publication. We check for contact, payment, link, and external-transaction patterns, alongside automated text and image classification. A pass is not a legal permission or authenticity guarantee. Verified-account reports can hide a published product after policy thresholds are reached. A brand owner can edit rejected or hidden content and submit it again; urgent removals, restoration, bans, and rights-holder actions follow KindaBought's recorded safety process.
Brand-owner standard
Publish only images and copy you created or are authorized to use. Describe a simulated product accurately, choose the most fitting category, and never promise real inventory, payment, fulfillment, delivery, resale, returns, or customer support. Variants are simulated options, not stock.
Reports and rights-holder requests
Use the report action on a product page for community policy concerns. For ownership or copyright/trademark concerns, use the dedicated process described in IP & Takedown.
