Effective date: 12/11/2026 · Last updated: 12/11/2026 · Version: 1.0

These Community Guidelines form part of the LIFEHACKR Terms & Conditions ("Terms") and set out in detail what is and is not permitted in the community features of the Services: profiles, the community feed, comments, Thrive Challenges and Creator Content. They add to section 14 of the Terms and do not replace it. Words defined in the Terms and the Creator Terms have the same meaning here.

The short version

• LIFEHACKR is a community for adults who want to build healthier habits. Content must be honest, safe and respectful.
• Health content must not replace medical advice, promote dangerous practices or spread claims that could cause harm (section 2).
• You must respect other people's privacy and health data (section 4).
• Promotion must be disclosed, and selling is permitted only where we allow it (section 5).
• Thrive Challenges must be played fairly (section 6).
• Breaches lead to proportionate measures, from removal of content to closure of the account (section 8). You may always appeal (section 9).

1. General standards

1.1 Respect. You must treat other users with respect. You must not post content that is hateful, harassing, bullying, threatening or degrading, including content that attacks people on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, disability, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, body size or health condition.

1.2 Violence. You must not threaten, incite or glorify violence, or post graphic violent content.

1.3 Sexual content. You must not post sexually explicit content or nudity. Fitness and body-progress images are permitted if intimate areas are covered and the image is not sexualised.

1.4 Minors. The Services are for adults only. Any content that sexualises, endangers or exploits a minor is prohibited without exception; we will remove it, close the accounts involved and report it to the competent authorities.

1.5 Honesty. You must not post content that is deceptive, impersonate any person or organisation, or misrepresent your qualifications (for example, by presenting yourself as a doctor, dietitian or licensed therapist when you are not).

1.6 Illegal content. You must not post content that is illegal under the law that applies to it, or that infringes another person's intellectual-property, image or privacy rights.

2. Health content

2.1 Wellness, not medicine. You may share your own experiences, routines and results. You must not diagnose other users, prescribe treatments, or advise anyone to start, stop or change a medication or medical treatment.

2.2 Harmful health claims. You must not post claims that contradict established medical consensus in a way that could cause harm. For example, claims that a disease can be cured by a diet, supplement or practice; claims that discourage vaccination or proven treatment; or claims that a product prevents, treats or cures a disease.

2.3 Disordered eating and body image. You must not post content that promotes, glorifies or instructs eating disorders or extreme weight loss, including calorie targets far below healthy levels, purging, "thinspiration" or comparisons designed to shame bodies. Content about recovery is permitted if it is not graphic or instructive.

2.4 Self-harm and suicide. You must not post content that promotes, glorifies or instructs self-harm or suicide. Supportive content and content about recovery are permitted. If we become aware that a user may be at risk, we may show them support resources and, where there is a threat to life, inform the competent authorities (Terms, section 14.7).

2.5 Dangerous practices. You must not promote practices that put health at serious risk. For example: extended fasting without medical supervision; breathing techniques with breath holds or hyperventilation in or near water, while driving or without the safety information shown in the App; extreme cold or heat exposure; or training loads that ignore warning signs.

2.6 Substances. You must not promote, sell or give instructions for the use of illegal drugs, prescription-only medicines without a prescription, anabolic steroids, SARMs or other unregulated or unapproved performance-enhancing substances.

2.7 Supplements and food. You may share which supplements and foods you use. You must not make health claims about them that EU law does not permit, or present them as a substitute for medical treatment.

3. Content quality

3.1 Spam. You must not post repetitive, irrelevant or bulk content, engagement bait, or misleading links.

3.2 Manipulation. You must not use fake accounts, bots or coordinated activity to inflate likes, followers, comments, completions or challenge participation.

3.3 Malware and phishing. You must not share malware, phishing links or links that request other users' sign-in details or payment data.

4. Privacy and health data

4.1 Other people's data. You must not share another person's personal data or health data without their permission, including screenshots of their profile, results or challenge data.

4.2 Images of others. You must not post images or recordings of identifiable people without their permission. Images of minors must not be the focus of any content.

4.3 Doxxing. You must not publish or threaten to publish information that could be used to locate, contact or harm a person outside the Services.

5. Promotion and commercial activity

5.1 Disclosure. If you are paid, receive free products or have any commercial relationship with a brand you mention, you must disclose it clearly in the content (for example, with "Ad" or "Sponsored" at the beginning).

5.2 Selling and recruiting. You must not sell products or services, share affiliate links or discount codes, or recruit users for other services or apps, unless we have permitted it. Business Accounts may present their own company in their profile and challenges within the limits of the Terms.

5.3 Thrive Points. Thrive Points cannot be transferred, sold or exchanged between users (Terms, section 7.1). You must not offer, request or arrange any trade in Thrive Points, accounts or Thrive Devices paired to an account.

5.4 Creator Content. Creator Content must also meet the content standards in section 4 of the Creator Terms.

6. Thrive Challenges

6.1 Fair play. You must follow the fair-play rules in section 8.12 of the Terms. In particular, you must not arrange coordinated forfeits, share or wear another person's Thrive Band, or manipulate data.

6.2 Recruiting for collusion. You must not invite, encourage or pay other users to miss challenges deliberately or to arrange results, Host Share or donations.

6.3 Challenge titles and descriptions. Hosts must keep titles and descriptions accurate and free of health claims, misleading statements, inappropriate content and third-party trademarks (Terms, section 9.2).

7. How we moderate

7.1 Tools. We use automated tools to detect content that may breach the law or these Community Guidelines: keyword and image filters, spam and malware classifiers, and, for Creator Content, an automated moderation service for titles, descriptions and transcripts. Automated tools may hide content or limit its reach while it is reviewed. Automated tools may reject Creator Content and challenge titles and descriptions before publication (Creator Terms, section 3.4); in that case, the statement of reasons states that the decision was automated, and you may appeal it (section 9). Automated tools do not decide on their own to remove published content or restrict an account, except for obvious spam and malware.

7.2 Human review. Trained reviewers decide on reported content, on content flagged by automated tools, on appeals against automated rejections, and on every removal of published content, restriction, suspension and closure. A reviewer who decided on a case does not review the appeal against it.

7.3 Reports. Any person may report content or an account using "Report" in the App or by email to legal@lifehackr.com (Terms, section 14.3). We will handle reports in order of risk, with threats to life or safety and content involving minors first.

7.4 Context. We assess content in its context. Content that would otherwise breach these Community Guidelines may be permitted if it is clearly educational, documentary or critical, and does not put anyone at risk.

8. Measures

8.1 Proportionality. Our measures depend on how serious the breach is, whether it was intentional, and whether it is repeated. We may take one or more of the following measures:

• remove content or limit its visibility;
• issue a warning;
• restrict features for a period (for example, posting, commenting, hosting or publishing in Creator Studio);
• withhold Thrive Points, Creator Share or Host Share connected with the breach (Terms, section 8.13; Creator Terms, section 13);
• suspend the account temporarily;
• close the account (Terms, section 20.3).

8.2 Strikes. Each confirmed breach that leads to removal of content or a restriction counts as a strike. Strikes expire after 90 days. The following measures apply:

• first strike: removal and a warning;
• second strike within 90 days: removal and suspension of the account for 30 days;
• third strike within 90 days: closure of the account.

8.3 Serious breaches. We may close an account immediately after a single breach if it involves content that sexualises or endangers minors, credible threats of violence, fraud, coordinated forfeits, or repeated infringement of intellectual-property rights.

9. Statements of reasons and appeals

9.1 Statement of reasons. If we take a measure under section 8, we will inform you of what we decided, the facts behind the decision, whether automated tools were involved, which rule or law we relied on, and how to challenge the decision (Terms, section 14.4).

9.2 Appeals. You may appeal free of charge within 6 months, in the App or by email (Terms, section 14.5). If the appeal succeeds, we will restore the content or account and remove the strike.

10. Changes and contact

We may change these Community Guidelines as described in section 21 of the Terms. For questions about these Community Guidelines, contact legal@lifehackr.com. These Community Guidelines are available in English, Spanish and German; section 23.7 of the Terms applies.
