Community Standards

Notespace is about generating Notes, sharing and collaborate in Notes and discovery. We value authenticity, spontaneity, and kindness, and we are proud to offer a platform that empowers users like you to share a glimpse into your Notes. We want Notespace to be a place where people can have fun, share and inspire  themselves and others while feeling safe.

Our Community Standards are designed to help ensure that you, and all our users, use our services safely, and they must be taken seriously. They are part of our Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy (together the “User Agreement”). If you don’t agree with any part of the User Agreement, including the Community Standards, then it might be that Notespace isn’t for you.

The Community Standards are really just a collection of things that could be thought of as being respectful to other people. Basically, if you’re doing something that you would not want other people to do to you on Notespace, then you’re probably violating the Community Standards.

‍How to make a report

‍You can report any violation of these Community Standards directly through the reporting tools in the Notespace application or through our webform here. The Notespace Support Team will review the report and reply if needed.

‍What happens after you make a report?

‍Any behavior, activity, or content that we believe is contrary to the Community Standards may be sanctioned, either temporarily or permanently.

We have the right to monitor the content and the use of the App, at any time, and at our discretion, in order to verify compliance with the Community Standards and the Terms of Use. Our decision as to whether there is a violation of the Community Standards is final. Luckily, all of this should remain exceptional if you comply with the Community Standards.
