Canopy Trove Community Guidelines

Updated: March 30, 2026

Canopy Trove is for lawful storefront discovery and useful storefront feedback. Reviews, community photos, and reports must stay honest, specific, and safe.

Allowed

  • firsthand storefront experiences
  • factual notes about service, selection, accessibility, pricing, or atmosphere
  • photos you personally took of a storefront, product packaging, or a lawful purchase
  • useful corrections about storefront details
  • civil disagreement about a storefront experience

Photos And Media

When member photo uploads are available in Canopy Trove, the same community standards apply to photos, GIFs, and other media.

  • only upload photos you personally took or otherwise have the right to share
  • keep photos tied to storefront context, product packaging, or a real customer visit
  • do not upload copied brand ads, menu screenshots, or images taken from other sites or feeds
  • do not post IDs, receipts with private details, medical information, or verification documents
  • do not post minors, faces without consent, or imagery showing cannabis consumption
  • community photos are not a substitute for owner-controlled promotional placements

Not Allowed

  • threats, harassment, hate speech, or sexual content
  • instructions for unlawful conduct
  • spam, duplicate reviews, rating flooding, or report flooding
  • impersonation of staff, owners, or other users
  • posting private information, IDs, phone numbers, medical data, or upload documents
  • posting copyrighted or promotional media you do not have the right to share
  • posting content that is false, defamatory, or clearly manipulative

Moderation Controls

Canopy Trove currently supports:

  • storefront reporting
  • local blocking of review authors
  • manual review workflows for storefront reports
  • manual owner-claim and verification review queues

Enforcement

Canopy Trove may hide, remove, reject, or escalate content that violates these guidelines. Owner verification and storefront reports are intended to move through a manual review path with documented status changes.

If a storefront, brand, photographer, or user believes a photo or other media should be removed for privacy, copyright, trademark, or safety reasons, they can contact support for review.
