• Harassment, threats, hate speech, discrimination and incitement to violence.

• Sexual content, nudity and any form of endangerment of minors.
• Spam, fraud, faked qualifications and misleading offers.

• Publish photos and videos of other people only with their consent.
• Do not share other people's locations, contact details or private messages.
• Before any public share, check what the post reveals – including locations and tagged buddies.

• Posts, comments and profiles can be reported in the app.
• Users can be blocked to prevent contact.
• Reported content is reviewed; violations can lead to removal of content and suspension of accounts.

Reporting and blocking are store-relevant requirements for user-generated content. Whether each of these functions is fully available in the currently published app build is verified in the app project and tracked as an open item in docs/legal-data-map.md.

• Content that endangers minors is prohibited and will be removed.
• Contacting minors with sexual intent leads to immediate suspension.
• Suspected cases can be reported at any time and are reviewed with priority.

• Listings must be truthful, complete and legally permissible.
• Courses and training offers may only be listed by appropriately entitled providers. DiveBuddy Pro issues no certifications and does not verify credentials.
• The provider is not a party to these offers.
