Snap is committed to respecting human rights, as set out in the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs). We have incorporated human rights consideration in our Community Guidelines, content moderation practices, transparency reporting, and privacy practices, including through the following measures:

• Community Guidelines. We are transparent about what is and isn’t allowed on our platform, through our Community Guidelines and linked explainers, and we work with our safety teams to ensure that these policies are enforced in a fair and equal manner, taking into consideration local language and cultural nuances, and providing users with an appeal process, as well as support resources.

• Transparency. We voluntarily publish transparency reports twice a year as part of our commitment to safety, transparency, and accountability, in addition to other legally required transparency reports. We consistently strive to make these reports more comprehensive and informative for our stakeholders.

• Privacy. We protect user data and privacy through our Privacy Policy, Community Guidelines, and data-protection protocols. We prohibit users from violating the privacy of others on our platform or through our services, and we have strict privacy principles in place for employee access to user data. 

• Freedom of expression. We empower users to express themselves creatively and authentically, and we take into consideration local language and cultural context, as well as content that may be educational, newsworthy, or of value to the public interest, before removing content or enforcing against accounts. 

• Anti-Terrorism. Terrorist and violent extremist entities are prohibited from using our platform. We also prohibit content that promotes terrorism or other violent or criminal acts committed by individuals or groups to further ideological goals, as well as content that promotes or supports foreign terrorist organizations or violent extremist groups.

• Anti-Trafficking. We prohibit the use of our platform or services for human trafficking, including sex trafficking, forced labor, forced criminal activity, organ trafficking, and forced marriage. 

• Anti-Discrimination. We prohibit discrimination on our platform through our policies against hateful conduct, which ban content that demeans, defames, or promotes discrimination or violence on the basis of race, color, caste, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, or veteran status, immigration status, socio-economic status, age, weight, or pregnancy status.

• Work with law enforcement and civil society. Snap works with law enforcement, governmental agencies, NGOs, and academics around the world to understand emerging trends, incorporate feedback into our policies and content moderation processes, and promote safety on our platform.
