Community Guidelines

These Community Guidelines apply to any photo or image you upload that can be seen by another user. That includes a photo attached to a shared workout, an image you post to a circle, and the profile avatar you set. They work alongside our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. If a photo breaks these rules, it breaks the Terms.

Plain version: keep it about lifting, keep it clean, only post images you actually have the right to post, and never post anything that sexualizes or endangers a minor.

We have zero tolerance for child sexual abuse material (CSAM) and any sexual content involving a minor. This includes nudity, sexualized images, or sexually suggestive images of anyone under 18, whether real, edited, or generated. There are no exceptions and no warnings.

When we identify apparent CSAM, we preserve the relevant content and account information for the period required by law, report it to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) as required by US law, and cooperate with law enforcement. We permanently ban the account. Reporting is a legal obligation, not a discretionary step.

An everyday, clothed photo that happens to include your own child — training together, for example — is welcome. Do not, however, upload photos of other people's children, and never upload any image of a minor in a state of undress. If you are a minor yourself, do not post photos of your body beyond ordinary, clothed gym attire.

Atlas is not a place for sexual or pornographic content. Do not upload:

• Nudity or partial nudity, exposed genitals, or sexual acts;
• Sexually explicit or pornographic images of anyone, at any age;
• Content whose primary purpose is sexual gratification or solicitation;
• Fetish content or sexualized close-ups presented as training photos.

Ordinary gym attire (training clothes, lifting singlets, athletic wear) is fine. Content that is sexual in nature is not, regardless of what the person is wearing.

• No harassment or bullying. Do not target, demean, threaten, or pile on another person through the images you post.
• No hate. Do not post images that attack or dehumanize people based on race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, disability, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, or any other protected characteristic. Hate symbols are not allowed.
• No violence or threats. Do not post images that threaten, glorify, or incite violence, or that depict graphic gore.
• No self-harm content. Do not post images that promote or glorify self-harm or eating disorders.

Only upload images you took or own, or that you have clear permission to share. Do not upload:

• Photos you found online, scraped, or copied from someone else;
• Images that infringe another person's copyright or trademark;
• Images that use someone's name, face, or likeness without their permission.

If you believe content on Atlas infringes your copyright, you can send a takedown notice to our designated agent. See our DMCA & Copyright page for how.

Every image you upload is processed for safety before it can be shown to anyone else:

• We strip location and other embedded metadata from your photo on upload and re-encode the image, so an image you share does not leak where it was taken.
• Every image is scanned by an automated explicit-content classifier before it can be shown to anyone. Apparent child sexual abuse material is removed, reviewed, and reported to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) as required by law.
• New uploads stay private until they pass review. If an image is flagged, or if a check is uncertain, the image is held for human review and is not shown to other users in the meantime.

We may hold, remove, or refuse to display any image, and we may suspend or permanently ban accounts that break these rules. Serious or repeated violations, and anything involving a minor, result in a permanent ban. Accounts that repeatedly upload violating images, or that upload egregious content, are suspended or permanently banned. We do not promise to catch everything automatically, and we rely on reports from the community to help.

If you see an image that breaks these rules, use the in-app report and block tools to flag it. Reports go to us, and we review and act on valid reports.

You can also email abuse@sigmatools.io. For anything involving the apparent sexual exploitation of a child, report it to us immediately so we can preserve evidence and file with NCMEC; if a child is in immediate danger, contact your local emergency number first. See our Child Safety Standards for how we prevent and respond to child sexual abuse and exploitation.
