Adult Content

At Fingertip, we’re dedicated to empowering users to create their own unique digital space. Ensuring that all visitors, including minors, can make informed choices before they engage is a priority for us. Furthermore, varying legal restrictions across our global markets dictate the content we can host on our platform.

You may:

• Create links to adult content as long as it is legal in your region, doesn’t advertise full-service sex work, and is marked as sensitive*

• Advertise adult media that you create and sell on other platforms

You may not:

• Upload adult media (e.g. images or videos), including nudity, to your Fingertip– including in your avatar, link thumbnails, background, PDFs, or Link Apps such as Store product images

• Embed social media feeds that would display adult content directly on your Fingertip

• Advertise full-service sex work

• Share adult content created with generative AI to impersonate another individual

*When adding a link to your Fingertip, you may find that the sensitive content label is automatically applied.

Page Name & URLs

Fingertip usernames are designed for everyone. Do not buy, sell, hoard, or trade them. Avoid securing a username without genuine intent to use it, or for the purpose of ‘domain squatting’ – blocking others or seeking resale profit. This practice is prohibited on Fingertip and is illegal in some jurisdictions.

When creating a Fingertip page, it’s important that the page name accurately reflects its content and purpose. Here are the guidelines to ensure your page name is appropriate and compliant with our standards:

1. Accuracy and Representation:

• Your page name must accurately reflect the page’s content and purpose.

• Only authorised representatives can manage a page for a brand, place, organisation, or public figure.

2. Prohibited Content in Page Names:

• Terms or phrases that may be abusive or infringe on someone’s rights.

• The word “official” if the page isn’t the official page of a brand, place, organisation, or public figure.

• Improper capitalization (e.g., tHe best sToRe). Page names must use grammatically correct capitalization and may not include all capital letters, except for acronyms.

• Symbols (e.g., ®) or unnecessary punctuation.

• Descriptions or slogans (e.g., The Best Burgers - We serve the best burgers in town). This information should be added to the page’s About section.

• Any variation of the names “Fingertip” or related brand terms unless officially authorised.

3. Restrictions on Page Names:

• A single, general word (e.g., coffee) is not allowed. Pages must be managed by official representatives of the topics they cover.

• General geographic locations (e.g., Los Angeles) are not allowed unless it represents an organisation related to that location (e.g., “Los Angeles – Tourism Board”).

4. Examples of Acceptable Page Names:

• “Los Angeles – Tourism Board”

• “King Charles III of the United Kingdom”

• “The Best Store – Official Page”

By following these guidelines, you ensure that your Fingertip page is clear, professional, and compliant with our standards. If you need to change your page’s name, please refer to our instructions on how to do so.

At Fingertip, safeguarding individual privacy is paramount. We do not permit profiles that disclose personal identifying information (e.g., billing details, IDs) or collect such information (including IP addresses) without a valid legal basis, such as explicit consent. Additionally, profiles exposing private media (e.g., image-based sexual abuse, including generative AI content) or impersonating others are strictly prohibited.

If you collect personal information from visitors, you must provide a clear privacy notice that users can review before submitting their data. This notice must adhere to all relevant privacy laws and regulations.

Self-Harm

At Fingertip, we strive to create a safe environment for users to share their recovery journeys in a healthy and supportive manner. To maintain this safety, we strictly prohibit content that promotes or glorifies suicide, self-mutilation, or disordered eating.
