These are the principles we live by. Not aspirations or marketing - actual commitments that guide every decision we make.
We will never compromise on privacy. It's not a feature, it's a foundation. Every product we build starts with the question: how do we protect our users?
When we face a choice between more revenue and more respect for our users, we choose respect. Short-term gains from exploitation are not worth long-term harm.
We tell you what we're doing and why. No hidden algorithms, no secret profiling, no mysterious changes that benefit us at your expense.
When you pay us, you get clear value. When creators earn through us, they keep the majority. No extraction, just exchange.
We never design to manipulate. No guilt trips, no fake urgency, no confusing opt-outs. If you want to leave, we make it easy.
We grow by being good, not by being everywhere. We'd rather have fewer users who love us than many who tolerate us.
We build for decades, not quarters. We don't sacrifice long-term health for short-term metrics.
When we make mistakes, we own them. We fix them. We learn from them. We don't hide behind lawyers or PR.
Principles without accountability are just words. Here's how we ensure we actually live by the Happydemy Code:
The Happydemy Code isn't static. As we learn and grow, we'll update these principles to reflect new understanding and new challenges.
What won't change: our fundamental commitment to building technology that respects people and serves the common good.
