The process of signing up allows for different methods, including the use of an email and password, Google sign-in, Apple sign-in, or via the Creator’s phone number.
As a necessary part of the registration process, Tribl collects specific personal data, including the Creator’s name, date of birth, email, and phone number. This information must be precise and comprehensive, as it aids in establishing the Creator’s identity and facilitating the management of the Creators Account.

It is incumbent upon the Creator to refrain from masquerading as another individual, choosing offensive usernames, or infringing on the rights of others. Continued usage of the Site necessitates the verification of the Creator’s phone number and email address. This is an essential security measure put in place to safeguard the Accounts and uphold the integrity of Tribl’s user base.

When an Account is created, it is crucial that a username is chosen that respects the rights of all users, including intellectual property rights. The adoption of wellknown identities, indecent or offensive names, or usernames for profit, known as “Domain Squatting,” should be avoided. If issues arise, they will be assessed fairly, and the username may need to be modified, or Account suspension or termination may occur if there is a refusal. If intellectual property violations are claimed by external parties, a report must be submitted, and a counter notice can be responded with. Inactivity for six months may result in the username being reclaimed or reassigned, with prior notification given.

3.2. Account Responsibilities

Responsibility for all activities that occur under the Account is borne by the Creator. Secure storage and confidentiality of the password are also obligations that must be upheld. Any unauthorized access or usage of the Account should be promptly reported to Tribl.

Responsibility for the content posted on the Tribl Page also rests with the Creator. It should be ensured by the Creator that the content shared does not violate any intellectual property rights, is not offensive or harmful, and complies with Tribl community guidelines. Furthermore, any interactions with other users on the Site are the responsibility of the Creator.

Once deleted, the Account cannot be recovered, and if the Site is used again in the future by the Creator, a new Account will need to be created.
