Asteliar was created to gather memories, experiences, and encounters that have left a trace in time.

For this space to stay useful and pleasant, we ask everyone to respect a few simple rules.

Be yourself

Asteliar wants to connect real people.

Use your real first and last name, and don't present yourself as someone else.

Tell your own memory

A memory is personal. Tell it honestly, without turning Asteliar into a place for inventing stories in order to deceive other people.

Not everyone needs to have experienced the same thing the same way: respect comes before agreement.

Respect the people who appear in your memories

A person can become identifiable through a name, a photograph, a place, a date, or a combination of these pieces of information.

Before publishing something that concerns others, ask yourself whether it's really necessary and whether you have the right to do so.

Photographs deserve special care

Don't publish photographs of other people, especially minors, personal documents, or private situations, unless you have a legitimate reason to do so.

Asteliar removes technical metadata from images, including data indicating where a photo was taken — but this doesn't automatically make an image lawful or anonymous. A person can still be recognizable from their face, regardless of any technical data removed.

A Bottle is not a safe

A Bottle can remain hidden during normal browsing of the platform, but it must not be used to keep information that needs to stay private.

A place isn't yours just because you know it well

You can tell the story of a place, enrich it with information, or report a new one — but you cannot appropriate its identity.

If you request ownership of a business or venue, you will be contacted by phone to verify it: only do so if you truly have a legitimate connection to that place.

Don't pass yourself off as the manager of a business that isn't yours.

No harassment

Don't use Asteliar to persecute, threaten, humiliate, or intimidate other people.

A memory from the past doesn't give you the right to invade the privacy of those who were part of it.

No unlawful content

Don't publish illegal, offensive, discriminatory, fraudulent material, or material that violates the rights of others.

Report what's wrong

If you find content that violates the rules, use the reporting tools.

Reports must be used responsibly, not as a tool to target someone simply because they hold a different opinion from your own.

Before publishing, stop for a moment

Asteliar brings together people, places, and time.

That very combination can make a memory far more identifiable than it seems.

Before pressing "Publish," ask yourself:

Is what I'm telling something I'm willing to publicly associate with my name?

If the answer is yes, publish it.

If you have doubts, it might be better to remove some detail.

The fundamental principle

Memory, yes. Curiosity, yes. Encounter, yes.
At no one's expense.
