We fully comply with the UK Online Safety Act 2023, which aims to make the internet safer for all users, especially children and vulnerable people.

2. PROHIBITED CONTENT

Our website and services will not be used to host, promote, or distribute any content that:

• Is illegal (e.g., content that incites violence, promotes terrorism, or facilitates criminal activity).

• Causes harm to individuals or groups (e.g., hate speech, harassment, bullying, or content that promotes self-harm or suicide).

• Is age-inappropriate for children (e.g., explicit sexual content, graphic violence).

• Infringes intellectual property rights or privacy laws.

3. USER-GENERATED CONTENT

For services involving user-generated content (e.g., social media posts created on your behalf), we will:

• Ensure all content complies with UK law and platform rules.

• Review content before publication to identify and remove any prohibited material.

• Promptly remove any content reported as harmful or illegal, and investigate the issue.
