Community guidelines.

TruVest is a community for adults to learn about markets, share investing experiences, explore market information from around the world, and have respectful conversations.

These Community Guidelines apply to all posts, comments, profile information, portfolio sharing activity, links, images, videos, messages, and other content shared through TruVest.

They work alongside our Terms of Use, Privacy Policy, and Investment Information, Risk & No Advice Disclosure.

Treat other members with respect.

Do not post content that:

• harasses, threatens, intimidates, humiliates, or bullies another person
• uses hate speech or targets people based on race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, or another protected characteristic
• contains abusive, obscene, violent, or sexually explicit material
• impersonates another person, company, broker, financial professional, or TruVest representative; or
• deliberately disrupts discussion or creates a hostile community environment.

Challenge ideas, not people.

You may share your personal investing experience, learning journey, portfolio views, market research, and opinions. Be clear that your content reflects your own view.

Do not:

• misrepresent your identity, qualifications, employer, affiliations, credentials, portfolio, holdings, or performance
• manipulate screenshots, returns, dividends, rankings, or portfolio values
• claim guaranteed returns, “risk free” investments, insider information, or certainty about future prices
• falsely state or imply that TruVest verifies, endorses, sponsors, or guarantees your content
• create multiple accounts to mislead others, inflate popularity, or evade enforcement; or
• use another person’s account, identity, portfolio, or information without permission.

TruVest is a community and information platform, not a brokerage, trading venue, or investment advice service.

You may share general opinions and educational discussion. However, you must not:

• present your content as personalized financial, investment, legal, tax, or accounting advice
• tell another user that they should buy, sell, hold, or trade a specific investment based on their personal circumstances
• guarantee investment outcomes or claim that users will profit by following you
• solicit users to send money, securities, credentials, account access, or personal information
• promote unregistered, fraudulent, deceptive, or unlawful investment opportunities
• coordinate, encourage, or participate in market manipulation, pump and dump schemes, insider trading, or other unlawful conduct; or
• use TruVest to operate an unlicensed brokerage, advisory, portfolio management, or investment promotion activity.

Always encourage independent research. Investing involves risk, including loss of principal.

Be transparent when you have a financial interest in content you post.

You must clearly disclose, where relevant:

• whether you own, recently bought, sold, or plan to trade an investment you discuss
• whether you are paid, sponsored, affiliated, employed, compensated, or rewarded for mentioning a company, broker, investment, platform, product, or service
• referral links, affiliate links, promotional codes, or other incentives; and
• any material relationship that could reasonably affect how others interpret your post.

Place disclosures clearly in the post or immediately beside the related content. Do not hide them in hashtags, profile text, or unrelated comments.

Portfolios are private by default. If you choose to share portfolio information, share responsibly.

Do not:

• publish another person’s portfolio, account information, transaction details, or financial data without clear permission
• use a shared portfolio to claim guaranteed results or expertise
• misrepresent connected portfolio information as independently audited or verified by TruVest
• pressure another user to make their portfolio public; or
• use a public portfolio to solicit funds, clients, copy trading arrangements, or private investment schemes.

Performance can be affected by timing, deposits, withdrawals, fees, taxes, exchange rates, corporate actions, and incomplete data. A public portfolio does not prove that another user should make the same investment.

Respect everyone’s privacy.

Do not post or request:

• passwords, brokerage credentials, payment card details, bank details, account numbers, identity documents, or security codes
• private contact details, location data, or personal information about another person without permission
• confidential employer, client, broker, or business information
• screenshots containing unredacted personal or financial details; or
• content designed to steal information, spread malware, or direct users to unsafe links.

TruVest will never ask you to post or send your broker password.

Do not use TruVest to deceive, exploit, or pressure others.

This includes:

• fake giveaways, investment clubs, signal groups, trading groups, or “guaranteed return” offers
• phishing, fraud, pyramid schemes, Ponzi schemes, or impersonation
• unsolicited promotion, repetitive posting, spam comments, or mass messaging
• misleading links, malicious software, or attempts to move users to unverified payment channels
• buying, selling, or trading accounts, followers, reactions, or engagement; and
• using bots, scraping tools, or automation without TruVest’s written permission.

If someone asks you for money, broker access, a password, a verification code, or confidential information, report them immediately.

Only post content that you created or have permission to use.

Do not upload or share copyrighted material, trademarks, images, videos, articles, research, or other content in a way that infringes another person’s rights. Attribute sources appropriately where required.

You may link to external educational content, including YouTube videos, but you must not imply that the creator, platform, or TruVest endorses you unless that is true.

Use the reporting tools in the app to report content or conduct involving:

• scams or fraud
• impersonation
• harassment or hate
• misleading investment claims
• privacy violations
• copyright concerns
• illegal activity; or
• any breach of these Guidelines.

If there is an immediate risk of harm, contact local emergency services or the appropriate authority. TruVest is not an emergency response service.

We may review reports and take action where content or conduct violates these Guidelines, our Terms of Use, applicable law, or the safety of the community.

Actions may include:

• removing or limiting content
• adding an informational label
• restricting reach or feature access
• issuing a warning
• temporarily suspending an account; or
• permanently removing an account.

We may act quickly where necessary to protect users or the Service. We are not required to monitor all content, and the presence of content on TruVest does not mean we endorse or verify it.

If you believe we made an error in moderating your content or account, you may submit an appeal through email admin@truvesttech.com with:

• your TruVest username
• the content or decision you are appealing
• the date of the decision; and
• a short explanation of why you believe it should be reviewed.

We will review appeals in line with our internal procedures and applicable law.

We may update these Community Guidelines as TruVest evolves, legal requirements change, or new safety risks arise. We will post the updated version in the Service and provide additional notice where required.
