IP & Special Apps

Make sure the app and its content are fully owned or properly licensed and do not infringe others' IP or other lawful rights. Developers play a key role in publishing and operations; violations may lead to takedown, account ban, and legal liability.

Intellectual Property

1. To use copyrighted content owned by others, obtain authorization in advance.
2. Without authorization, the app must not be a cracked or localized version of another party's copyrighted content.
3. Without statutory fair use, do not use trademarks identical or similar to others' without authorization — this may constitute trademark infringement or unfair competition.
4. Do not engage in confusing conduct that misleads users into believing the app comes from or is affiliated with someone else (such as using the same or similar look, name, or theme as another developer's app).
5. The app must not sell or promote counterfeit goods.
6. Do not infringe others' lawful rights (including portrait and reputation rights), and do not directly or indirectly participate in infringement by inciting, inducing, or facilitating it.

If you find an app or content on Pgyer infringing your lawful rights, file a complaint via the process in Appeals & FAQ.

Developer Conduct

1. The developer must ensure all information provided to Pgyer is true, accurate, and complete (company name, personal information, identity information, contact phone, email, etc.), and update it promptly when it changes.
2. Non-government entities must not submit apps involving government affairs (e.g., reporting suspected criminal activity, publishing public-health incident notices) unless fully authorized by an official government body.
3. Apps that have ceased operation or whose experience has degraded may be taken down. Developers must promptly notify users and guardians of child users about the shutdown, stop collecting personal information per applicable law, and properly handle held personal information.

Special App Types

In addition to the general requirements, the following types must pay particular attention to the items below.

Livestream, Dating, Companion-Play, Chat

1. App information must not contain vulgar wording such as "lonely" or "hookup".
2. Do not use private message, chat, voice, or video to harass users, induce payments, or engage in adult-content behavior.
3. The app must not use in-game points to bet on outcomes or run guessing games; no points trading, cash/goods conversion, or peer-to-peer gifting/transfers.
4. The corresponding modules must provide a reporting feature.
5. When opening livestream rooms, voice chat rooms, or onboarding hosts/companion-play "experts", verify identity and provide real-name authentication.

Wellness Services (massage, SPA, foot bath, etc.)

1. App information and content must not contain vulgar, sexually suggestive, pornographic, or borderline content.

2. Friendship blind boxes, live-animal blind boxes, cash blind boxes, and financial-business blind boxes are not currently listed.

Phone Tracking
