You agree to follow Yral's Community Guidelines, which prohibit any sort of objectionable content that is:
- Defamatory, discriminatory, or mean-spirited content, including references or commentary about religion, race, sexual orientation, gender, national/ethnic origin, or other targeted groups—particularly if the app could humiliate, intimidate, or harm a targeted individual or group. Professional political satirists and humorists are exempt from this requirement.
- Realistic portrayals of people or animals being killed, maimed, tortured, or abused, or content that encourages violence. In games, "enemies" cannot solely target a specific race, culture, real government, corporation, or any other real entity.
- Depictions that encourage illegal or reckless use of weapons and dangerous objects, or facilitate the purchase of firearms or ammunition.
- Overtly sexual or pornographic material—defined as "explicit descriptions or displays of sexual organs or activities intended to stimulate erotic rather than aesthetic or emotional feelings." This includes "hookup" apps and other applications that may contain pornography or be used to facilitate prostitution, human trafficking, or exploitation.
- Inflammatory religious commentary or inaccurate or misleading quotations of religious texts.
- False information and features, including inaccurate device data or trick/joke functionality, such as fake location trackers. Claiming an app is "for entertainment purposes" will not exempt it from this guideline. Apps enabling anonymous or prank phone calls or SMS/MMS messaging will be rejected.
- Harmful content that attempts to profit from recent or current events such as violent conflicts, terrorist attacks, or epidemics.
Violating these guidelines will result in content removal, account restrictions, or permanent suspension.
Yral uses a mix of AI enabled automated filters and human moderation to detect and manage objectionable content. Our automated filters automatically delete Not Safe For Work (NSFW) content containing nudity, pornography, or other harmful content that violates our community guidelines. Further, users have the ability to report NSFW content while using the App. Users are encouraged to report NSFW content that our automated filters miss. Such reports are prioritized by our moderation team.
We have a dedicated team to review all valid reports within 24 hours and take appropriate action, including:
- Removing the reported content
- Temporarily or permanently banning the offending user
To ensure platform integrity and a safe environment, Yral takes violations of community standards very seriously and will block abusive users immediately and indefinitely. We aim to be transparent with moderation decisions and provide users with feedback when appropriate.
By enabling the NSFW (Not Safe for Work) content toggle, you acknowledge and consent to viewing adult-oriented content within your feed. This content may include themes that are intended for mature audiences. You agree that:
- You are of legal age to view such content as per the laws and regulations of your jurisdiction.
- The platform is not responsible for any distress or offense caused by NSFW content.
- You may disable NSFW content at any time by turning off the toggle in your settings.
You may block, report, or both block and report other users at any time if you experience inconvenience, discomfort, or simply wish to do so. When blocked:
- Their videos will no longer appear in your feed
- They cannot view or interact with your content
- They are not notified of the block
This is a key part of maintaining your control over your in-app experience.
We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Yral mobile and web application (the "App") solely for your personal, non-commercial use on any Apple-branded device that you own or control, and as permitted by the Usage Rules set forth in the Apple App Store Terms of Service.
