Community Guidelines

Effective date: 22 August 2026

Aleto is for sharing real moments connected to places and cities. These Community Guidelines explain what is and is not allowed. They apply to videos, captions, tags, comments, reports, review requests, usernames, and other activity submitted through Aleto.

Aleto is operated by Laconic Tech, an eenmanszaak registered in the Netherlands. These Guidelines form part of the Aleto Terms of Use.

Minimum age: Aleto is intended only for users aged 18 and older. Do not create an account or use Aleto if you are under 18. Existing users may be required to confirm that they are at least 18 years old and accept the current Terms of Use, Community Guidelines, and Privacy Policy before continuing to use Aleto.

1. Be lawful and respectful

Do not use Aleto to violate the law, encourage unlawful activity, harass or exploit another person, interfere with emergency services, or create an unsafe situation.

You are responsible for the content and activity you submit through your Aleto account.

2. Harassment, bullying, and threats

Do not post content or comments that:

• Threaten, intimidate, shame, stalk, bully, or target another person.
• Encourage other people to harass, attack, threaten, or humiliate someone.
• Use slurs, degrading attacks, or dehumanizing language.
• Repeatedly target someone against their clearly expressed wishes.
• Expose someone to coordinated abuse, unwanted attention, or a credible risk of real-world harm.
• Make credible threats against a person, organization, public place, or community.

3. Hate, extremist, and terrorist content

Do not attack or dehumanize people based on characteristics such as race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, disability, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, or similar protected characteristics.

Do not use Aleto to praise, support, recruit for, glorify, organize, or promote terrorism, violent extremism, hate-based violence, or organizations primarily engaged in such conduct.

Documentary, educational, journalistic, or counterspeech context does not automatically make content permissible. Context, presentation, and potential harm will be considered.

4. Child safety and exploitation

Aleto explicitly prohibits child sexual abuse and exploitation (CSAE) and has zero tolerance for child sexual abuse material (CSAM), grooming, sextortion, trafficking, sexualization of minors, or any content or conduct that abuses, exploits, sexualizes, or endangers children.

Do not:

• Create, upload, request, share, promote, distribute, store, or link to CSAM or other material that sexually exploits a child.
• Groom, manipulate, threaten, blackmail, or sexually solicit a minor.
• Threaten to create or share sexual or intimate material involving a minor.
• Sexualize minors or encourage, normalize, praise, joke about, facilitate, or attempt to obtain child sexual abuse or exploitation material.
• Use Aleto to arrange, facilitate, advertise, or support child trafficking or other sexual exploitation of children.
• Share content that identifies or exposes a child victim in a harmful or unlawful way.

Users can report child-safety concerns through Aleto's in-app reporting tools. Child-safety concerns may also be sent to the designated child-safety contact at legal@aleto.video with the subject “Child Safety”.

When Laconic Tech obtains actual knowledge of CSAM or other serious child-exploitation content on Aleto, it will take appropriate action in accordance with these Guidelines and applicable law. Action may include restricting or removing content, suspending or terminating accounts, preserving relevant information where legally permitted or required, and cooperating with competent authorities.

Laconic Tech maintains a process for reporting confirmed CSAM to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) or the relevant regional authority, as applicable under relevant law.

The designated child-safety contact is responsible for receiving child-safety notices, including potential notices from Google Play, and for coordinating Aleto's enforcement and review response.

5. Nudity and sexual content

Do not post:

• Nudity or pornography.
• Sexually explicit or sexually exploitative content.
• Sexual solicitation or offers of sexual services.
• Non-consensual intimate images or recordings.
• Creepshots or hidden-camera sexual content.
• Content primarily intended to provide sexual gratification.
• Threats to publish another person's intimate or sexual material.

6. Violence, self-harm, and dangerous conduct

Do not post or promote:

• Graphic gore presented primarily for shock value.
• Credible threats or encouragement of real-world violence.
• Instructions intended to facilitate serious physical harm.
• Dangerous misuse of weapons.
• Encouragement or glorification of suicide or self-harm.
• Dangerous challenges, stunts, or conduct likely to cause serious injury.
• False emergency claims intended to create panic or interfere with public safety.

Content documenting newsworthy violence or emergencies may still be restricted or removed where it is excessively graphic, exploitative, misleading, unlawful, or creates a material safety risk.

Aleto is not an emergency service. If someone is in immediate danger, contact the appropriate local emergency services.

7. Scams, regulated goods, and unlawful commerce

Do not use Aleto to promote, arrange, facilitate, or advertise:

• Fraud, scams, phishing, or identity theft.
• Illegal goods or services.
• Stolen or counterfeit goods.
• Illegal drugs or unlawful controlled substances.
• Dangerous or unlawful weapons activity.
• Tobacco, alcohol, gambling, or other regulated activity in a manner that is unlawful, unsafe, or directed at minors.
• Other restricted or dangerous conduct that creates a material risk to users or the public.

Do not impersonate another person, business, public authority, emergency service, moderator, or Aleto representative.

8. Privacy and personal information

Do not post or expose without proper authorization:

• Private home addresses, telephone numbers, private email addresses, financial information, identity documents, or authentication credentials.
• Private conversations, messages, images, or recordings.
• Personal information that enables stalking, harassment, doxxing, swatting, identity theft, or real-world targeting.
• Content recorded in places where people reasonably expect privacy.
• Content that unlawfully invades another person's privacy, image rights, confidentiality, or data-protection rights.

Public-interest, journalistic, or documentary context does not automatically override privacy, safety, or legal requirements.

9. Intellectual property and other rights

Upload only content that you have the right to record, use, and share.

Do not upload content that infringes copyright, trademarks, publicity rights, image rights, contractual rights, confidential information, or other legal rights.

Rights holders can contact legal@aleto.video. Include enough information to identify the content and explain the basis of the claim.

10. Spam, manipulation, and platform abuse

Do not:

• Spam posts, comments, reports, reactions, favorites, review requests, or other activity.
• Use fake accounts, bots, scripts, automation, or coordinated activity to manipulate Aleto.
• Artificially inflate views, likes, favorites, comments, or other engagement signals.
• Submit knowingly false, abusive, retaliatory, or coordinated reports.
• Abuse reporting, moderation, appeal, support, or account-deletion systems.
• Mislead users through fabricated events, false emergencies, manipulated context, or impersonation.
• Attempt to bypass rate limits, Firebase App Check, moderation decisions, account restrictions, authentication controls, or other security measures.
• Scrape, probe, overload, disrupt, attack, reverse engineer, or otherwise misuse Aleto systems.

11. Location-aware content

Aleto uses city and country information selected by users. Aleto does not rely on precise GPS location for its city-selection feature.

Do not misuse city tags, local feeds, shared links, followed places, or local notifications to:

• Misrepresent where an event occurred.
• Create false reports of emergencies or public danger.
• Target, track, or expose a specific person.
• Cause panic or materially mislead a local community.
• Present old, staged, edited, or unrelated material as a current local event.

When sharing event-related content, provide relevant context and do not knowingly present misleading claims as verified fact.

12. Reporting content

Use the in-app reporting feature where available when content or conduct appears to violate these Guidelines.

You may also contact support@aleto.video. Child-safety concerns and formal legal notices should be sent to legal@aleto.video.

Reports may result in content being hidden pending review, restored, kept restricted, or removed. Reports do not guarantee a particular outcome.

Knowingly false, abusive, retaliatory, or manipulative reporting may result in restrictions on the reporting account.

13. Moderation and enforcement

Laconic Tech may take proportionate action to protect Aleto, its users, service providers, and the public.

Actions may include:

• Hiding content pending review.
• Restoring content following review.
• Removing or restricting content.
• Restricting access to features.
• Rejecting abusive or invalid review requests.
• Suspending or terminating accounts.
• Preserving records needed for safety or legal purposes.
• Reporting suspected unlawful activity to appropriate authorities where required or appropriate.

Moderation decisions may be based on user reports, automated signals, administrator review, rate limits, audit records, safety systems, legal requests, platform requirements, or other abuse-prevention measures.

14. Review requests and appeals

If a post is hidden following reports, the post owner may be able to request review through the app.

A review request does not guarantee that content will be restored. Content may be restored, kept restricted, or removed after review.

Review requests may be rejected where they are repeated, abusive, misleading, incomplete, fraudulent, or connected to serious safety, legal, or platform-policy concerns.

Questions about a content-moderation decision may also be sent to support@aleto.video. Include the relevant username, post details, and a clear explanation of the issue.

If an Aleto account has been suspended, the affected user may request human review through the Account Suspension Appeal page. An appeal does not guarantee reinstatement.

15. Changes to these Guidelines

Laconic Tech may update these Community Guidelines when Aleto, applicable law, platform requirements, safety risks, or moderation practices change.

The current version will remain available at aleto.video/community-guidelines .
