Church content rules

A church’s page mustn’t include

• Hate or harassment: anything that attacks or demeans people for who they are, or threatens or bullies anyone.
• Sexual content, or violence meant to shock.
• Anything illegal, or anything that encourages people to break the law or to harm themselves or others.
• Someone else’s work without permission: song lyrics, sheet music, recordings, pictures or writing still under copyright, unless you have permission or a licence that covers sharing them this way.
• Spam or scams: advertising that isn’t the church’s own, misleading links, or asking for money under false pretences.
• False or misleading information about the church: its name, its place, or who runs it.
• Other people’s personal information — phone numbers, home addresses, or health or prayer needs that name someone — without their consent.

What happens

Anyone can report a church from its page. Dappit’s reviewers look at every report, and approve each new church before it’s listed. A church that breaks these rules can be taken down: its page, songs, bulletins and files stop being shown. Changing a church that was taken down sends it back for review: nothing of it is shown again unless the reviewers approve it.

If your church’s page was taken down, or you’re not sure whether something is allowed, email us.
