Content Rules

Last updated: 24 October 2026

These rules apply to everything you share, send, upload or publish through Kuruvi, alongside our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy. They are the rules and regulations required by rule 3(1)(b) of India's Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021.

Do not use Kuruvi to host, show, upload, change, publish, send, store, update or share anything that:

• belongs to someone else and that you have no right to share;
• is obscene, pornographic or paedophilic, invades someone's privacy (including bodily privacy), insults or harasses someone because of their gender, is racially or ethnically objectionable, relates to or encourages money laundering or gambling, or promotes enmity between groups on grounds of religion or caste with intent to incite violence;
• is harmful to a child;
• infringes a patent, trademark, copyright or other proprietary right;
• misleads people about where a message came from, or knowingly spreads misinformation or information that is plainly false or misleading;
• impersonates another person;
• threatens the unity, integrity, defence, security or sovereignty of India, friendly relations with other countries or public order, incites a serious offence, obstructs the investigation of an offence, or insults another nation;
• contains a virus or any other code designed to interrupt, destroy or limit how a computer system works;
• offers, advertises or promotes an online game that is not a permissible online game under Indian law; or
• breaks any law.

What we do

If you break these rules, we may remove the content or disable access to it, and suspend or end your access to Kuruvi straight away. We keep removed content and its records for 180 days in case it is needed for an investigation.

If what you share breaks the law, you may be liable to a penalty or punishment under the Information Technology Act, 2000 or any other law that applies. Where it is an offence that the law requires to be reported, such as under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 with the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, or the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act, 2012, we report it to the appropriate authority.
