Security

The security of your personal information is important to us and we follow industry standards to protect it.

Teamup:

Our systems never access your full credit card number, and we encrypt the most sensitive information like tax information using transport layer security (TLS). We also offer advanced security measures, such as two-factor authentication for signing in, and CAPTCHA verification in cases when a bot is detected, when a user attempts to login from a suspicious IP address or after rapid succession login attempts. We only serve traffic over HTTPS, which encrypts all data between you and us.

Our Members:

As a member or content creator, you can help prevent unauthorized access to your account and information by choosing a strong and unique password which is stored in a password manager. If you have any questions about the security of your personal information, you can contact us at support@teamuphelp.zendesk.com

Community Guidelines

Be respectful of the people and communities on TeamUp Fitness.  Post only your own photos and videos and always follow the law.  Respect everyone on TeamUp Fitness, don’t spam people or post nudity.

Content Creators and Members own the content they post on TeamUp Fitness.  Don’t post anything you have copied or collected from the internet that you do not have the right to post.

We do not allow Nudity on TeamUp Fitness.  We know that there are times when people might want to share nude images that are artistic or creative in nature, but for a variety of reasons, we don’t allow nudity on TeamUp Fitness.  This includes photos, videos, content that shows sexual intercourse, genitals, and close ups of fully nude buttocks.  It also includes some photos of female nipples.  Nudity in photos of paintings and sculptures is OK.


People like to share photos or videos of their children. For safety reasons, there are times when we may remove images that show nude or partially-nude children. Even when this content is shared with good intentions, it could be used by others in unanticipated ways.


Age of Consent

By using this site, you represent that you are at least the age of majority in your state or province of residence, or that you are the age of majority in your state or province of residence and you have given us your consent to allow any of your minor dependents to use this site.

How our Guideline are enforced

Please realize that TeamUp is a diverse community and, while you may not necessarily agree with someone’s point of view, it may not be a violation of our Community Guidelines. That said, when you see a profile that you feel violates our community guidelines, please take the time to report them.  A member of the Trust & Safety team will review the report and if our Community Guidelines have been violated, a TeamUp compliance manager will contact the contact creator to let them know that they are outside these guidelines.


This is a commitment to content creators and members. We know this is your livelihood. We invest heavily in making these decisions as fair and transparent as possible. We always want creators to feel like they have an open line of communication. So how does this translate to moderation? Our first reflex is always to try to educate creators to help them understand how a rule has been broken and how to remedy the issue. In cases where the violation is particularly bad or intentional, we may take further action such as suspending or removing their account. In the most extreme cases we may ban a creator, member, and professional from using TeamUp Fitness.


We want our Members to Be Safe and Respectful


These Community Guidelines exist to shape and guide TeamUp Fitness and the growing number of content creators, members using it. This is not about building an arbitrary framework of “right” or “wrong.” It’s about making TeamUp Fitness a place where diverse creators and members feel excited, supported, and happy to exist, while still allowing for different—and sometimes even conflicting—points of view.

These guidelines summarize a thorough, thoughtful, and living internal policy that we spent time thinking about and defining with guidance from community and safety experts. We’re proud of these guidelines because we believe they will help creators build a safe and supportive environment in which they can continue to create, share and build intimate and lasting relationships with their members.


Follow the Law


TeamUp Fitness is not a place to support or praise terrorism, organized crime, or hate groups. Offering sexual services, buying or selling firearms, alcohol, and tobacco products between private individuals, and buying or selling illegal or prescription drugs (even if legal in your region) are also not allowed.  TeamUp Fitness also prohibits the sale of live animals between private individuals.  No one may coordinate poaching or selling of endangered species or their parts.

Remember to always follow the law when offering to sell or buy other regulated goods. Accounts promoting online gambling, online real money games of skill or online lotteries are prohibited.

We have zero tolerance when it comes to sharing sexual content involving minors or threatening to post intimate images of others.

Authenticity

TeamUp Fitness is for members and creators.  As a creator, you may not post creations that infringe on others' intellectual property rights.  You can’t create fake pages or collect money for things you’re not actually doing. For example, you cannot create a fan page for someone else.

You cannot pretend to be or impersonate someone else by using the name, brand or works of another to deceive members.  If you want to read more about our copyright infringement policies, you can find more information in our Copyright Policy.

Bullying, harassment, and threats


We don’t allow bullying or harassment because we want our TeamUp Fitness community to feel like a safe place for our community.  We draw the line when it comes to harassing or taking any action that might affect people’s physical safety.  As much as we want you to be able to express yourself, we want all of our users to have the right to express their opinion without feeling intimidated. Even the most difficult conversations should take place in the most respectful way. Here is how we define these behaviors.


Bullying and harassment


You cannot attempt to intimidate anyone, either directly or by using your influence over others. We treat real-life interactions more seriously than online interactions when analyzing whether a line has been crossed because it can be more threatening and lead to physical violence.


Threats


Anyone on TeamUp Fitness should be able to express their opinion in a way that doesn't threaten another person. In this respect, we take threats of violence very seriously. Any creator or member threatening the well-being of an individual or group of people will be removed. This includes threatening behavior such as stalking or inciting others to commit violent acts.

If you are a victim of this behavior and feel that your personal safety is at risk, we suggest you contact your local law enforcement, in addition to reporting the behavior to us.


You may find content you don’t like but doesn’t violate the Community Guidelines. If that happens, you can unfollow or block the person who posted it. If there's something you don't like in a comment on one of your posts, you can delete that comment.


Many disputes and misunderstandings can be resolved directly between members of the community. If one of your photos or videos was posted by someone else, you could try commenting on the post and asking the person to take it down. If that doesn’t work, you can file a copyright report.  If you believe someone is violating your trademark, you can file a trademark report.  Don't target the person who posted it by posting screenshots and drawing attention to the situation because that may be classified as harassment.  We may work with law enforcement, including when we believe that there’s risk of physical harm or threat to public safety.
