Photo Guidelines

Hoorly is an 18+ app, but it is distributed through the Apple App Store and Google Play, whose rules do not permit nudity or sexually explicit imagery. These Photo Guidelines explain what is allowed in public areas (profile photos, posts, stories) and in private messages. They form part of our Community Guidelines. Photos are reviewed by a combination of automated screening and human moderators.

Face & verification. At least one clear face photo is strongly recommended and greatly increases trust and matches. If you prefer not to show your face publicly, you can still get a trust badge with our Private Verification option — you prove your identity to our team, and the badge appears without your face being shown.

Private — one-to-one messages

🔒 Private messages & private album

Lawful, consensual conversations between adults are permitted in private messages, and the private album lets you share additional photos with people you choose. However, the following remain strictly prohibited everywhere on Hoorly, including in private:

Content involving minors (CSAM) in any form — reported to authorities;
Non-consensual intimate images and "revenge" content;
Unsolicited sexual images — never send an intimate photo unless the other person has clearly said they want to receive it;
any other illegal content.

What happens if a photo breaks the rules

Rejected at upload — the photo is not published and you're asked to choose another.
Removed after review — a published photo found to break the rules is taken down.
Repeat or severe violations — warnings, temporary suspension, or permanent account termination. Illegal content (including CSAM) is reported to the competent authorities.

If you believe a photo was removed by mistake, you can appeal within 30 days at support@hoorly.com (EU users: see the statement-of-reasons and appeal process in our Safety Center).
