Privacy Violations

Nexus prioritizes the privacy and security of our users by implementing strict safeguards to protect personal and confidential information. We do not allow individuals to share, solicit, or distribute sensitive personal data that could lead to physical, financial, or reputational harm. This includes financial records, residential details, medical information, and data obtained through illegal sources.

Recognizing that certain private information may become publicly available through news coverage, court records, or government press releases, we may allow such content when it is already publicly accessible and legally disclosed. However, unauthorized exposure of personal details—particularly those related to individuals who have not explicitly consented to the disclosure—is strictly prohibited.

Additionally, paid content, including advertisements, must comply with privacy protection rules. While advertisements may highlight product features and services, they must not exploit personal hardships, imply knowledge of sensitive data, or negatively characterize users based on personal attributes. For further details, refer to our Advertising Standard on Privacy Violations and Personal Attributes.
