Safety and community rules

Last updated: 21 October 2026

These are the public safety standards for the Zinsta Android and iPhone apps, zinsta.app and zinsta.org (published by Zinsta). They apply to everyone: fans, creators and our own team.

Who can use Zinsta

Zinsta is only for adults aged 18 or older. We ask for a date of birth at sign-up and block anyone under 18. Creators must also pass an ID check before they can go online. If we learn that someone is under 18, we close the account.

Zero tolerance: child sexual abuse and exploitation

Child sexual abuse and exploitation (CSAE), including child sexual abuse material (CSAM), grooming, sexualised content involving minors, and any attempt to contact or exploit a minor, is strictly prohibited on Zinsta.

• We remove such content and permanently ban the account straight away.
• We preserve the evidence and report it to the relevant authorities, including Pakistan's FIA National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency, and to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) through its CyberTipline, and to other bodies where the law requires it.
• We cooperate with law enforcement and with Google Play on any notice about this.

Community rules

• No sexual content, nudity or sexual services.
• No harassment, bullying, hate, threats or violence.
• No scams, fake accounts or impersonation.
• No illegal services or content.
• No moving payments or private paid work off Zinsta: do not share phone numbers, emails or social handles to avoid the platform, and do not ask for payment outside the app.

Impersonation, celebrities and public figures

Creators on Zinsta are real people who have passed an ID check, and your name and pictures must be your own. You may not pretend to be another person, a celebrity, a politician, a brand or an organisation, use their name, photos or voice as your own, suggest that they endorse you, or post edited or AI-made content that shows or imitates a real person without their permission. Zinsta is not connected to, and is not endorsed by, any public figure. If someone is impersonating you or a person you know, report the profile (Report → Fake or impersonating account) or use zinsta.org/legal-notice; we review these reports as a priority.

Copyright and music

Only post music, video, photos and other material you own or are licensed to use. Songs or clips from artists, labels or studios without permission will be removed when we are told about them, and repeat infringers lose their accounts. See the Copyright and Takedown Policy. By posting you confirm you have the rights.

Violence, dangerous acts, self-harm and hate

No threats, graphic violence, dangerous challenges, content that encourages self-harm or suicide, terrorism or extremism, or content that attacks people for who they are. If someone is in danger, call the police (15) or Rescue (1122) and report it in the app. Zinsta is not an emergency service.

Private information and false statements

Do not share anyone's private information (addresses, phone numbers, ID numbers), private or intimate images, or say false things about real people that could damage their reputation. Report it in the app or at zinsta.org/legal-notice and we will review it.

Your responsibility and ours

People are responsible for what they post and say. Zinsta provides the platform, sets and enforces these rules, removes content that breaks them when we find it or are told about it, and works with the authorities. We do not endorse what users say, and we are not a party to conversations between users. Messages, calls and lives are online only; never meet or send money to someone you meet on Zinsta.

Automatic checks on photos and videos

Every photo and reel posted on Zinsta, every profile picture and every photo sent in a chat is checked automatically on our own servers before anyone else can see it. Nothing is sent to an outside company for this check.

• Clear adult content is removed at once and the file is deleted.
• Possible adult or suggestive content stays hidden until a member of our team reviews it.
• Strikes: each removal is a strike. Two strikes in 90 days pause uploads for 24 hours, three for 7 days with an account review, and more for 30 days. Mistakes can be appealed by emailing us, and a moderator can cancel a wrong strike.
• Posts reported for sexual content are reviewed again, and posts reported as possibly showing someone under 18 are hidden immediately while our team checks them.

How to report or block

• In the app: open a profile and tap the menu (three dots) for Report or Block. In a chat, press and hold a message to report it.
• By email: zinsta.org@gmail.com. Please include the person's handle and what happened.

What we do with a report

Our moderation team reviews every report. Depending on what we find, we warn, restrict, suspend or permanently ban an account, reverse related payments where we can, and, where the law requires, inform the authorities. Chat messages are screened automatically for scams, abuse and contact sharing, and flagged messages are reviewed by our team.
