Spicy Snacks™ Brand & Community Guidelines

(Last updated: October 2025)

These guidelines help protect the tone, inclusivity, and energy that define Spicy Snacks™ — and ensure everyone in our community (authors, bookstores, influencers, and partners) represents the brand consistently and respectfully.

When you share about Spicy Snacks™ or create content connected to our platform, you agree to follow these standards.

1. Brand Voice and Tone

Spicy Snacks™ is cheeky, confident, inclusive, and smart. We celebrate romance in all its forms with wit, warmth, and emotional intelligence.

Do:

  • Keep it flirty, playful, and clever.

  • Embrace diversity, body positivity, and empowered storytelling.

  • Use humor, double entendre, and lighthearted references where appropriate.

  • When in doubt: fun, not crude.

Don’t:

  • Use explicit pornographic language, hate speech, or degrading content.

  • Post or tag content that sexualizes minors or references non-consensual acts.

  • Misrepresent Spicy Snacks™ or imply endorsement of personal opinions.

  • Use our brand name or assets to promote unrelated projects without written permission.

2. Inclusivity and Respect

Spicy Snacks™ celebrates every kind of love story. Our community must feel safe and seen.

Do:

  • Respect all genders, orientations, body types, abilities, and cultural backgrounds.

  • Keep language supportive and nonjudgmental.

Don’t:

  • Engage in discrimination, harassment, or harmful stereotypes, online or offline.

3. Posting About Spicy Snacks™

If you’re sharing about Spicy Snacks™ on your own channels (social media, newsletters, events, etc.):

Do:

  • Tag @spicysnacksapp (Instagram) or the relevant official account handle.

  • Use approved hashtags when provided (for example: #SpicySnacksApp, #BiteSizedBooks).

  • Keep posts aligned with our brand tone: flirty, fun, and emotionally intelligent.

  • You may show screenshots, merchandise, or your own content featuring the app or stories, but avoid sharing unreleased story content or behind-the-scenes materials without permission.

Don’t:

  • Alter or distort our logo or visuals.

  • Imply partnership or sponsorship beyond what is agreed to in writing.

  • Leak upcoming storylines, surprise drops, or internal announcements unless given explicit approval via email from partnership team.

4. Brand Asset Usage

If you’re an approved partner (bookstore, author, or influencer), we will provide a media kit with logos, banners, and sample captions.

Do:

  • Use official Spicy Snacks™ visuals (logos, banners, colors) from the media kit when representing the brand.

  • Feel free to write your own captions, commentary, or posts — as long as the tone aligns with these Brand & Community Guidelines.

  • Keep logo colors, proportions, and typography intact.

  • When referencing Spicy Snacks™ in print or online, include the ™ symbol at least once per piece.

Don’t:

  • Alter or distort our logo or official visuals.

  • Use brand assets in ways that imply endorsement of unrelated products or services.

5. Community Conduct

Whether online or in person, everyone representing Spicy Snacks™ should embody our community values:

  • Kindness over competition.

  • Collaboration over comparison.

  • Creativity over controversy.

  • Inclusivity over exclusion.

We expect all members of the Spicy Snacks™ community to engage with empathy, respect, and awareness of the diverse audiences we serve.

Spicy Snacks™ reserves the right to withdraw posting privileges, revoke partner listings, or terminate collaborations if these guidelines are violated.
