BANJARA APP

BANJARA APP is built for the Banjara community to share culture, connect families, and meet life partners. These guidelines describe what kind of content and behavior makes the platform safe, welcoming, and useful for everyone.

1. Respect Everyone

Treat every member with dignity, regardless of clan, sub-clan, region, language, gender, education, or background.

2. Be Authentic

• Use your real name, photo, and identity.
• One person, one account.
• Do not impersonate other users, public figures, or organisations.
• Do not run "ghost" or "test" profiles to mislead others.
• Matrimony profile details (age, marital status, education, profession) must be truthful.

3. Prohibited Content

The following are not allowed anywhere on BANJARA APP:

• Hate speech based on religion, caste, gender, sexual orientation, region, or disability.
• Violence & threats — direct threats, calls to violence, or glorification of violence.
• Harassment & bullying — including repeated unwanted contact, doxxing, or coordinated attacks.
• Sexual content — nudity, pornography, sexually suggestive content involving any user.
• Child safety violations — any content that sexualises, endangers, or exploits minors. Reported immediately to authorities.
• Self-harm or suicide content — content that encourages or instructs self-harm.
• Illegal goods & services — drugs, weapons, stolen goods, counterfeit documents.
• Fraud & scams — fake matrimony profiles, fake investment schemes, dowry demands, phishing.
• Misinformation — falsified health advice, election manipulation content, dangerous hoaxes.
• Spam — repetitive posts, automated content, mass-DMs, or coordinated promotion.

4. Reels & Video Content

Reels are short-form videos. Keep them community-appropriate:

5. Matrimony Conduct

Matrimony is a sensitive space. Treat every profile with the respect you would want for your own family.

• Only send Interest to someone you are seriously considering.
• Once Interest is accepted, communicate respectfully — no inappropriate, sexual, or pressuring messages.
• Do not ask for or imply dowry. Dowry demands are illegal and will result in immediate account termination.
• Do not share another user's photos, screenshots, or messages outside the App without explicit permission.
• Do not use Matrimony for casual dating, business networking, or unrelated purposes.
• Read our Matrimony Safety Guide before meeting in person.

6. Cultural & Religious Content

BANJARA APP celebrates Banjara heritage. When you post cultural or religious content:

• Credit the source (e.g. the artist, dancer, or family the story belongs to).
• Do not mock or distort sacred rituals.
• Welcome learners — many users are reconnecting with the culture.
• Use the right language tag (Banjari / Hindi / Telugu / Marathi / Kannada / English) so others can find it.

7. Privacy of Others

• Do not publish another person's phone number, address, or other personal details.
• Do not record or share private conversations without consent.
• Do not upload photos of people who haven't agreed to be on the App.
• Respect "decline" and "block" — no follow-up via secondary accounts.

8. Protection of Minors

• Matrimony services are restricted to users 18 years and above. Underage profiles are removed and reported.
• Do not post sexualised content involving anyone under 18, real or depicted.
• Do not initiate private messages with users you have reason to believe are minors.
• Photos of children should only be posted by their parents or guardians, in a clearly family-appropriate context.

9. Commercial Activity & Spam

• Mass-promoting products, schemes, or services in messages or comments is not allowed.
• Affiliate or referral schemes that target the matrimony / matchmaking space are not allowed.
• Job postings should go through the proper Community section (where available), not Matrimony messages.

10. Intellectual Property

• Only upload videos, songs, photos, and writing that you created or have permission to use.
• Don't strip another creator's watermark or claim their work as your own.
• If you believe someone has used your content without permission, report it from the content itself.

11. Reporting & Enforcement

Every reel, profile, comment, and message has a Report option. When something violates these guidelines, please report it — we review every report.

Depending on severity, our response can be:

• Warning — the content is removed and the user is notified.
• Feature restriction — e.g. limited messaging, profile not shown to others for a period.
• Temporary suspension — typically 7–30 days.
• Permanent ban — for severe or repeat violations, or any child-safety violation.
• Referral to law enforcement — for illegal activity.

12. Appeals

If you believe enforcement on your account was a mistake, you can appeal once per action by emailing [email protected] with your username and a brief explanation. We review appeals within 7 business days.
