CREATEFOLK / TRUST & SAFETY
CREATE FREELY.
CONNECT SAFELY.
STAY IN CONTROL.
Creative communities only work when people feel respected and in control. CreateFolk gives you clear tools for profiles, messaging, reporting, blocking and safer participation across the community.
ACCOUNT ACCESS
PRIVATE MESSAGES
REPORT & BLOCK
PROFILE CONTROL
THE FOUNDATION
TRUST SHOULD BE BUILT IN.
Safety should be understandable, accessible and part of the product — not buried in fine print.
02
PRIVACYYOUR PROFILE. YOUR CONTROL.
Control what you choose to publish on your CreateFolk profile and how you participate across the community.
03
COMMUNITYREPORT & BLOCK
Block people or privately report harassment, spam, scams, impersonation, threats and other inappropriate behaviour.
04
CREATOR RIGHTSYOUR WORK STAYS YOURS.
Sharing original work on CreateFolk does not transfer ownership of that work to another person.
YOUR CONTROLYOU'RE IN
YOU'RE IN
CONTROL.
Your safety tools should never require hunting through five menus.
BLOCK
Stop supported interactions with someone you no longer want to engage with.
REPORT
Privately report harassment, spam, scams, impersonation, threats or inappropriate behaviour for moderation review.
PRESENCE
Availability indicators can show supported presence states such as available, away or busy without exposing unnecessary account information.
DISCOVERABILITY
Where supported, profile settings let you choose whether you participate in community discovery.
PROFILE INFORMATION
You decide which biography, skills, tools, location, links and portfolio information you choose to publish.
IF SOMETHING HAPPENS
KNOW WHAT TO DO NEXT.
Choose the situation that is closest to what happened. These are practical next steps, not legal or emergency advice.
END THE INTERACTION
You do not need to keep replying. Use block where appropriate.
REPORT THE BEHAVIOUR
Use the in-product report flow for harassment, threats or repeated abusive behaviour.
KEEP RELEVANT EVIDENCE
If the situation is serious, keep screenshots or other relevant records before removing access.
PRIVACY
WHAT'S PUBLIC. WHAT ISN'T.
Clear expectations beat vague promises.
PUBLIC / SHARED
Information you intentionally publish on your creator profile
Posts and creative work you choose to share publicly
Creator identity and discovery information where enabled
Public community interactions where the feature is designed to be public
PRIVATE / RESTRICTED
Your account authentication credentials
Direct messages are not displayed publicly
Moderation reports are not public community posts
Security and account information that is not part of your public profile
A NOTE ABOUT SECURITY
PRIVATE DOESN'T MEAN INVINCIBLE.
No online service can guarantee absolute security. Avoid sharing passwords, financial information or other highly sensitive data through community messages.
NO SECURITY THEATRE
WE'D RATHER BE PRECISE.
Trust disappears quickly when a platform promises things its technology cannot actually guarantee.
NO FAKE SECURITY BADGES
We don't label something '100% secure' because absolute security does not exist.
NO FALSE ENCRYPTION CLAIMS
We won't describe messaging as end-to-end encrypted unless the technical architecture genuinely supports it.
PRIVATE REPORTING
Moderation reports are designed as private safety actions rather than public accusations.
CREATOR OWNERSHIP
Sharing your work should not be confused with surrendering ownership of that work.
QUESTIONS
SAFETY, WITHOUT THE FINE-PRINT FOG.
The important stuff in normal language.
No. Direct messages are not displayed publicly on CreateFolk. As with any online platform, avoid sharing passwords, banking details or highly sensitive personal information through messages.
