1. Why this policy exists.
In one paragraph: Postkeet is a tool for legitimate marketers, creators, and small businesses. We don't host content directly — we publish it through platforms that have their own rules. Breaking those rules gets your connected account suspended by the platform, which we can't undo. So this policy mostly mirrors what Instagram, LinkedIn, X, TikTok, and the rest already require — with a few of our own lines that protect the people on the receiving end.
Two things drive every rule below: platform compliance (we need to stay in good standing with the APIs we rely on) and protecting users (the people who see what you publish deserve truthful, non-harmful content).
If your use case isn't obviously covered here and you're unsure, email legal@postkeet.studio before you sign up. We'd rather answer a question than cancel an account.
2. Prohibited uses.
You may not use Postkeet to create, schedule, or publish content that:
- Is illegal under US federal law, EU law, or the laws where you operate.
- Incites violence, terrorism, or hate against any person or group based on race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, or national origin.
- Constitutes spam — unsolicited repetitive posts, engagement-farming threads, automated reply chains, or manufactured trends.
- Violates someone else's intellectual property — copyrighted images, music, or video you don't have rights to; trademarks used to deceive; stolen writing passed off as your own.
- Harasses, threatens, doxes, or defames an individual. This includes coordinated pile-ons organized via Postkeet.
- Sexually exploits minors in any form — including AI-generated imagery. Zero tolerance. Immediate termination and referral to NCMEC / law enforcement.
- Is fraudulent — phishing links, fake giveaways, impersonation of real people or brands, romance scams.
- Is a fake review, fake endorsement, or fake testimonial — including FTC-noncompliant affiliate content.
- Promotes pump-and-dump, shitcoins, rug-pulls, or other market manipulation.
- Offers unlicensed financial services — investment advice, lending, insurance, or "signals" without the registrations your jurisdiction requires.
- Makes unapproved medical, health, or supplement claims — "cures," "treats," "prevents" disease language without FDA/EMA basis.
- Is designed to deceive — deepfakes of real people without consent, AI imagery presented as real news, manipulated quotes.
- Circumvents a platform's own policies — spinning banned accounts back up, coordinated inauthentic behavior, buying engagement, evading shadow-bans.
- Distributes adult / sexually explicit content via platforms that don't permit it (most of them).
- Promotes gambling, sports betting, or lotteries in jurisdictions where those are restricted or require a license you don't hold.
We interpret these charitably. A one-off edge case won't get you banned — systematic violations will.
3. Restricted industries.
Some industries aren't banned outright, but they live under extra scrutiny because of platform policies or legal complexity. If you operate in one of these, expect to verify your business before full access:
- Adult entertainment — allowed only on platforms that permit it (e.g. niche platforms we don't currently integrate with). Blocked on Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, Pinterest.
- Cannabis & CBD — legality varies by jurisdiction and platform. Licensed dispensaries may be supported in US states where sale is legal, but most major platforms restrict promotional content regardless.
- Firearms, ammunition, & accessories — licensed dealers only. No private sales, no promotion of modifications that are federally restricted.
- Cryptocurrency & Web3 promotion — established projects with clear utility, yes. Meme coins, presales, "guaranteed returns," ICOs — no.
- High-risk financial services — payday lending, binary options, FX signals, "get rich" schemes. Supported only with verifiable licensing.
- Pharmaceutical & medical devices — prescription drugs, clinics, and medical devices require verification of licensing and compliance with advertising rules (FTC, FDA, MHRA, EMA depending on market).
If you're in one of these categories, start an account and reach out to legal@postkeet.studio with your registrations. Verification usually takes 2–5 business days.
4. Content guidelines.
Truthful marketing.
Claims about your product should be accurate and substantiated. Comparative claims should be fair. "Best" and "#1" need evidence. Puffery ("the greatest coffee ever") is fine; verifiable lies ("clinically proven to cure X") aren't.
Sponsored disclosure.
If someone paid you, gave you free product, or is affiliated — disclose it clearly. #ad or #sponsored at the front of the caption, not hidden in a string of 30 hashtags. The FTC, ASA (UK), and ACM (NL) all require this and platforms increasingly enforce it algorithmically.
Respect copyrights.
Stock imagery needs a license. Music in videos needs clearance (or use the platform's built-in library). A meme format isn't automatically fair use. If you receive a DMCA or EUCD takedown notice forwarded through us, we'll pass it on and remove the offending asset while you respond.
Regulated-industry disclaimers.
Financial, medical, legal, and real-estate content needs the disclaimers your jurisdiction requires — "past performance does not guarantee future results," "consult a physician," "not legal advice," licensing numbers for brokers and agents. We don't add these for you; you're responsible for compliance with your regulator.
5. Account behavior.
- One account per person. One person, one login. Agencies use Studio workspaces to manage multiple clients under one legitimate operator account.
- Use real business information. Company name, billing address, and contact email should match a real entity. We don't require legal-name disclosure for creators, but the underlying business/billing identity must be real.
- Don't share credentials. Each teammate gets their own invite. Sharing a login is a security risk and a violation of these terms.
- Report security issues responsibly. If you find a vulnerability in Postkeet, email security@postkeet.studio before disclosing publicly. We respond within 24 hours, acknowledge researchers who follow responsible disclosure, and we don't sue you for poking honestly.
- Don't scrape, reverse-engineer, or rate-limit-evade the Postkeet service itself. Legitimate API access is on our roadmap — ask, don't scrape.
6. What happens when something goes wrong.
Most violations are honest mistakes — a caption that crosses a line, a connection to an account that turned out to be inauthentic. Our response scales with what happened:
- First, ambiguous violation: email warning explaining what we saw, what rule it touches, and what to change. No action on your account. You have 7 days to respond.
- Repeat or ignored warning: temporary suspension of publishing (drafts still accessible) until we talk. Usually resolved in a call or email thread.
- Severe violation: immediate termination. Data export offered for 30 days where legally permissible. Categories: CSAM (always), coordinated inauthentic behavior, deliberate fraud, content inciting real-world violence.
- Illegal activity: termination plus referral to the relevant authorities. In practice this is rare — most of what lands here is CSAM, which we report to NCMEC automatically, and clear-cut fraud, which we report on request of law enforcement with a valid legal process.
You can appeal any action to legal@postkeet.studio. We respond within 5 business days and a human reviews it.
7. Reporting abuse.
If you see someone using Postkeet to harass, defraud, or violate these rules, tell us. Email abuse@postkeet.studio with whatever detail you have — links to posts, screenshots, dates, account names. Anonymous reports are accepted and read.
We investigate every report within 48 hours. If we act, we don't share the reporter's identity with the reported account. If we don't act, we reply explaining why so you can take it up with the platform directly.
For urgent safety issues (active threats, CSAM, imminent harm) use the subject line URGENT and we'll triage within 2 hours during business days.
8. Changes to this policy.
Platform rules change. Laws change. We'll revise this policy when they do. Material changes (new restricted categories, tighter enforcement) are announced by email to account owners 14 days before taking effect. Minor clarifications are logged at the bottom of this page with a date.
If a change affects a legitimate use case you were operating under, reach out — we'll work out a transition window.
This policy is read alongside the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. If anything conflicts, the Terms win. For anything unclear, contact us.
