6. Community Guidelines and Prohibited Conduct

6.1 Community Guidelines

Qutrek is a community built on curiosity, cultural respect, and the shared joy of discovery. All Users must comply with our Community Guidelines, which are published as a separate document, available within the application under:

1) Settings > Help Center > Community Guidelines

2) And at https://qutrek.com/community-guidelines. The Community Guidelines are incorporated into these Terms by reference.

The Community Guidelines define, among other things: what content is and is not allowed on Qutrek; prohibited behaviors; our location integrity policy; our zero tolerance policy for child exploitation material, nonconsensual intimate images, and terrorism content; our enforcement process including how reports are handled; and our appeals process.

6.2 Acceptance of Community Guidelines

By creating an Account or uploading User Content, you confirm that you have read and agree to comply with the Community Guidelines. Qutrek may update the Community Guidelines from time to time. Material changes will be communicated to you in accordance with Section 20 of these Terms.

6.3 Consequences of Violations

Violations of these Terms or the Community Guidelines may result in one or more enforcement actions, depending on the nature, context, severity, and frequency of the violation. Such actions may include:

(a) Removal or restriction of the offending Content;

(b) A warning;

(d) Temporary suspension of the Account; or

(e) Permanent termination of the Account.

Qutrek may take immediate action where we reasonably believe that Content or conduct involves child sexual exploitation or abuse material, nonconsensual intimate content, terrorism-related activity, credible threats, serious illegal activity, or an immediate risk of harm.

Where appropriate or required by applicable law, Qutrek may preserve relevant information and report suspected illegal activity to competent law-enforcement authorities or other authorized organizations.

Where the Digital Services Act applies, Qutrek will provide an accessible mechanism for reporting suspected illegal Content and will process qualifying notices in a timely, diligent, objective, and non-arbitrary manner.

6.4 Nonconsensual Intimate Images and Removal Requests

Qutrek prohibits the posting, uploading, sharing, or distribution of intimate images or videos without the consent of the person depicted. This prohibition applies to authentic content as well as digitally altered or artificially generated content that appears to depict an identifiable individual.

Registered Users may report suspected nonconsensual intimate content through the in-app reporting tools available on the relevant Content or User profile.

A person depicted in the reported content, or an authorized representative acting on that person’s behalf, may also submit a removal request by contacting support@qutrek.com with the subject line “Intimate Image Removal Request.”

The request must include sufficient information to identify and locate the content and must satisfy any declarations, signature requirements, or other conditions required by applicable law. Qutrek may request additional information reasonably necessary to verify and process the request.

Upon receiving a valid removal request covered by the U.S. TAKE IT DOWN Act, Qutrek will remove or disable access to the qualifying content within forty eight (48) hours and make reasonable efforts to identify and remove any known identical copies within the same period.

Qutrek may preserve limited information relating to the request or removed content where reasonably necessary to prevent re-uploading, preserve evidence, protect Users, investigate violations, comply with applicable law, or cooperate with lawful investigations.

7. Reporting, Blocking, and Safety Tools

7.1 In-App Reporting

Qutrek provides in-app tools that allow any User to report Content or behavior that they believe violates these Terms, the Community Guidelines, or applicable law. Reports can be submitted by tapping the report button available on any Trek or User profile.

Reports may also be submitted by non-registered users for illegal content, where required by applicable law. Contact us at support@qutrek.com for reports submitted outside the application.

7.2 Blocking

Users may block other Users at any time through the Service. Blocking a User will prevent them from viewing your profile, Treks, and from interacting with your Content.

7.3 Action on Reports

Qutrek reviews reports submitted through the Service or sent to support@qutrek.com and may take any action we reasonably consider appropriate based on the nature, context, and severity of the reported Content or conduct.

Such action may include:

(a) Taking no action where we determine that no violation has occurred;

(b) Requesting additional information;

(d) Removing Content;

(e) Issuing a warning;

(f) Restricting certain Account features;

(g) Temporarily suspending an Account; or

(h) Permanently terminating an Account.

We may prioritize reports involving an immediate risk of harm, suspected illegal activity, child sexual exploitation or abuse material, credible threats, terrorism-related content, or nonconsensual intimate images.

Review times may vary depending on the seriousness and complexity of the report, the information available to us, and the volume of reports received. Any timeframes communicated by Qutrek are estimates unless a specific deadline is required by applicable law.

7.4 Notification of Moderation Decisions

Where reasonably practicable and required by applicable law, Qutrek may notify an affected User when we remove or restrict Content, limit Account functionality, or suspend or terminate an Account.

The notice may include the general reason for the decision and information about any available appeal process. We may withhold or limit notice where disclosure could:

(a) Create a safety or security risk;

(b) Reveal confidential moderation or detection methods;

(d) Facilitate further violations;

(e) Expose another person’s private information; or

(f) Violate applicable law.

Users entitled to additional information or procedural rights under applicable law will receive those rights as required.

8. Content Moderation and Appeals

8.1 Moderation Practices

Qutrek currently relies on human review to moderate Content and enforce these Terms, the Community Guidelines, and applicable law. Authorized Qutrek personnel may review reported Content, User activity, and other relevant information when assessing potential violations.

Qutrek may restrict access to or remove Content, limit Account functionality, suspend or terminate Accounts, or take other appropriate action based on the nature, context, and severity of the violation. In urgent cases involving suspected illegal Content, child sexual abuse material, credible threats, nonconsensual intimate images, or an immediate risk of harm, Qutrek may temporarily restrict or remove Content before completing a full review.

Qutrek may introduce automated moderation or content-detection tools in the future. Any such tools may be used to assist, prioritize, or support human review, subject to applicable law and Qutrek’s policies.

Private direct messages are end-to-end encrypted. Qutrek does not access, read, monitor, review, or moderate the content of private messages, and the moderation and review practices described in this Section do not apply to the content of private messages.

8.2 Internal Complaint and Appeal Mechanism

If you believe that Qutrek incorrectly removed or restricted your Content, limited your Account, or suspended or terminated your Account, you may submit an appeal by contacting support@qutrek.com and providing sufficient information to identify the decision being challenged.

Qutrek will review eligible appeals within a reasonable period, taking into account the complexity of the matter, the information provided, and the volume of requests received.

Where reasonably practicable, an appeal will be reviewed by a person who did not make the original decision. Qutrek may request additional information before reaching a decision.

We may reject or close appeals that are abusive, repetitive, manifestly unfounded, unrelated to a moderation decision, or submitted without sufficient information.

We will notify you of the outcome of the appeal where reasonably practicable and provide any additional information required by applicable law.

8.3 Out-of-Court Dispute Resolution

[EU / DSA Art. 21] Users in the EU/EEA who are dissatisfied with the outcome of the internal appeal process have the right to refer the matter to a certified out-of-court dispute settlement body under the Digital Services Act. Qutrek will engage in good faith with any such proceedings. Information about available dispute settlement bodies will be included in the moderation decision notification.

8.4 Trusted Flaggers

[EU / DSA Art. 22] Qutrek will prioritize reports submitted by entities designated as “trusted flaggers” by the relevant Digital Services Coordinator in EU/EEA member states, in accordance with the Digital Services Act.

9.3 Lawful Basis for Processing

[EU / GDPR Art. 6] For Users in the EU/EEA, we process your personal data on the following lawful bases: (a) Consent for precise geo location data, marketing communications, and non-essential analytics; (b) Performance of a contract for processing necessary to provide the Service as described in these Terms; (c) Legitimate interests for security, fraud prevention, service improvement, and enforcing our Terms, where these interests are not overridden by your rights; (d) Legal obligation for processing required to comply with applicable law.

9.4 Consent Management

Where we rely on your consent for data processing, you will be presented with a clear, granular consent request at the relevant point of collection. Consent requests are specific to each processing purpose and are not bundled. You may withdraw your consent at any time through the application settings, and withdrawal of consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

10. Location Data and Permissions

10.1 Location Data Collection

Qutrek collects precise geolocation data when you create a Trek or when you save a location for later Trek creation. Location tagging is a core feature of the Service that enables content discovery based on geographic location. We collect this data only with your explicit permission, which is requested through your device’s operating system permission dialog. We do not track your location in the background.

10.2 Purpose and Use

Your location data is used for the following purposes: (a) tagging Treks to specific geographic locations; (b) enabling location based content discovery; (c) displaying nearby Treks and points of interest; and (d) improving the relevance of content recommendations.

10.3 Your Control

You may revoke location permissions at any time through your device’s settings. If you revoke location access, you will be unable to create new Treks (which require location tagging), but you may continue to browse and interact with existing content on the Service.

[EU / GDPR] Precise geolocation is processed on the basis of your explicit consent (GDPR Art. 6(1)(a)). You may withdraw consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.

[US / CCPA] Precise geolocation is classified as “sensitive personal information” under the CCPA/CPRA. California residents have the right to limit its use. See Section 16.

17. International Data Transfers and Security

17.1 International Transfers

Qutrek operates globally, and your personal data may be transferred to and processed in countries other than the country in which you reside. These countries may have data protection laws that are different from (and, in some cases, less protective than) the laws of your jurisdiction.

When we transfer personal data outside of your jurisdiction, we implement appropriate safeguards to ensure your data remains protected in accordance with applicable law:

• For transfers from the EU/EEA: We rely on EU Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs), adequacy decisions by the European Commission, or the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, as applicable.

• For transfers from the UAE: We comply with the transfer requirements of the UAE PDPL and, where applicable, the DIFC Data Protection Law.

• For transfers from other jurisdictions: We implement the safeguards required by applicable local data protection law.

17.2 Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, loss, destruction, alteration, or disclosure. These measures include, but are not limited to, encryption of data in transit and at rest, access controls, regular security assessments, and employee training. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

17.3 Data Breach Notification

In the event of a personal data breach that poses a risk to your rights and freedoms, Qutrek will: (a) notify the relevant supervisory authority within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach, where required by applicable law (including GDPR Art. 33); and (b) notify affected Users without undue delay where the breach is likely to result in a high risk to their rights and freedoms.

17.4 Data Retention

We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including to satisfy legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. Specific retention periods are detailed in our Privacy Policy. When data is no longer needed, it is securely deleted or anonymized.

18. Algorithmic and AI Disclosures

18.1 Recommender Systems

Qutrek uses algorithmic systems to personalize your experience, including: (a) recommending Treks based on your location, interests, and interaction history; (b) ranking content in your discovery feed; and (c) suggesting Users or destinations you may find interesting. The main parameters used by our recommendation systems include geographic proximity, content popularity, recency, category preferences, and your past engagement patterns.

18.2 Non-Profiled Option

You have the right to access the Service without profiling-based content recommendations. Qutrek offers at least one content feed option that is not based on profiling of the User, such as a chronological feed or a location-based feed that does not take into account your personal interaction history.

[EU / DSA Art. 27] This disclosure is provided in compliance with the Digital Services Act’s transparency requirements for recommender systems.

18.3 AI Transparency

Qutrek does not currently use third-party artificial intelligence services to process Users’ personal data. If Qutrek introduces AI-powered features in the future that involve sharing personal data with third-party AI providers, we will clearly disclose the use of such services, the AI provider where appropriate; the types of data processed, and will obtain any required user consent before sharing personal data with such providers.

[Apple] In compliance with Apple App Store Guideline 5.1.2(i), as updated in November 2025, Qutrek discloses the use of any third-party AI and obtains explicit permission before sharing personal data with such services.
