NApp is our shared home — a verified community of Navodayans built on the trust we learned in the same hostels and houses. These guidelines keep it that way. By creating an account you agree to follow them.
1. Be who you are
- Register with your real identity and genuine JNV details. Membership is verified; fake or impersonating accounts are removed.
- One person, one account.
2. Treat every Navodayan with respect
- No harassment, bullying, hate speech, threats or personal attacks — the house spirit applies online too.
- Disagreement is welcome; abuse is not.
3. Keep the platform clean
- No sexually explicit content, no graphic violence.
- Zero tolerance for any content that sexualises or endangers minors — see our Child Safety Standards. Such content is removed, the account terminated, and the matter reported to authorities.
- No spam, scams, misleading forwards or repeated self-promotion.
- No sharing of another member's personal information without their consent.
3a. Copyright
- Only share music, video and images you have the right to use. Members can report a reel for copyright in the app.
- If you own the rights to something on NApp, email [email protected] with a link to it and proof of ownership; an admin will review it and may remove it.
4. Use the community features honestly
- NMap location sharing is consent-based — never misuse presence information of fellow members.
- Batch and district groups are shared spaces; group admins may moderate content that breaks these rules.
- Share a reel outside NApp only with its Share button, and only when its creator has allowed it. Do not re-upload or repost other members' reels elsewhere. Music rights apply to a reel watched outside NApp too.
5. Report, don't retaliate
- See something that breaks these rules? Use Report on the post or profile, or the "Report a bug" screen, or email us. An admin, or a judiciary member appointed for that area, reviews what you report.
- Reels: a reel that many members report is hidden while a reviewer looks at it. If nobody decides in time it comes down on its own; its creator is told and can appeal in the app.
- You can also Block any member — you'll stop seeing each other's content and messages.
- Anyone, member or not, can report a reel shared outside NApp from the "Report this reel" link on its page.
6. What happens when rules are broken
- Depending on severity: content removal, warning, temporary restriction, or permanent removal from the platform.
- Illegal activity is reported to the relevant authorities.
- Decisions are made by NApp’s admins and by judiciary members appointed for each area. If your reel was removed you can appeal once, in the app; for anything else, write to us.
