DNAChron Content Guidelines

DNAChron is dedicated to creating an open and friendly platform for high-quality genetic content. You can fill in or edit your personal DNAChron based on your or an authorized person’s family history, traceability results, and other information, and choose to make your DNAChron public so that other users can view and contact you. To create a good content environment to better play the role of personal DNAChron and communication, and to improve users’ experience of using DNAChron, we have established the “Personal DNAChron Completion Specification” (hereinafter referred to as “the Specification”). All users of DNAChron shall abide by these Guidelines. All contents filled out and edited by users in the Personal DNAChron shall conform to the requirements of this specification. The operation team of DNAChron will manage all contents filled and edited by users in DNAChron in accordance with the terms of this Code.

II. Processing process of violation

1. DNAChron discovers illegal contents of users’ personal DNAChron through two ways: active discovery and receiving reports from users. Users can report suspected illegal content and users via customer service email and private messages. Illegal content will be handled by the DNAChron operations team according to the rules. In most cases, the DNAChron Operations Team will first issue a warning and allow the user to correct the offending content, but this does not mean that the DNAChron Operations Team must first issue a warning before taking any action.
2. Once it is determined that offending content has been posted, the account in question will be subject to the following actions:
   1. Warning: The administrator will delete the corresponding content and notify the offending user by in-site message.

Blocking: According to the severity, the account will be blocked for 3 days, 7 days, 15 days, 30 days, or permanently (blocking the account’s private messages, personal center, and other functions) and the offending content will be deleted. DNAChron reserves the right to permanently deactivate the account.
