6 years ago
Like most sites, Fur Affinity is updating our policies to be in compliance with the EU’s GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation). These changes are effective as of today. You may review them here:
Terms of Service
Privacy Policy - New
Code of Conduct
Upload Policy
We are dedicated to respecting your privacy and the security of your personal information. The updates to our Privacy Policy provide more transparency and about the data we collect about you, how it is used, and with whom it is shared.
We will be working on offering additional tools to help protect your privacy over the next few months.
- the minimum age to use the site in the EU has been raised to 16
- we have moved privacy-specific items from the Terms of Service to the new Privacy Policy.
2.4 - Do not harass anyone.
In this context, harassment includes creating an account with an offensive name, impersonation of another user, and remarks which discuss personal grievances, quarrels, malicious rumors, or negative statements about other individuals. This does not include civil discussions about topics of public interest such as celebrities or government officials, but does include 'bewares' and similar content.
Any attempt to address a user who has blocked you or whom you have blocked is considered a form of deliberate harassment. This also includes soliciting other users to pass on messages or otherwise make contact on your behalf.
If a particular type of content does not appeal to you, then do not seek it out to make disparaging comments. Users with a pattern of this behavior may be cited for harassment.
#.4 During Suspension (Old)
While you are Temporarily Suspended, you are not permitted to access or create accounts on Fur Affinity. Doing so may result in the length of your current suspension being extended or changed to a Permanent Ban.
This policy has been changed to
#.4 - Blocks, Suspensions, and Bans (New)
If for any reason, your account is suspended, banned, restricted, blocked (via users), or otherwise disabled by Fur Affinity, you may not create another account with the intent to bypass these limitations without our permission. Any effort to evade these limitations yourself or on behalf of another user may result in a suspension or the length of your current suspension being extended or changed to a permanent ban. When permanently banned, you may not use Fur Affinity as a registered user nor create accounts.
