Community and Content Guidelines
These guidelines apply to all provider profiles, articles, and talks published on Hong Kong Wellness Hub. They are incorporated into the Terms of Service, and content that breaches them may be edited, unpublished, or removed.
Health claims (UMAO gate)
Profiles, articles, and talks must not make curative or preventive claims for conditions caught by the Undesirable Medical Advertisements Ordinance (Cap. 231), which includes mental disorders and other serious conditions. Do not claim to treat, cure, or prevent a named condition, and do not guarantee outcomes or imply treatment certainty. This is a criminal-law boundary and applies to both providers and the platform as publisher.
Not allowed: "cures depression", "treats anxiety disorder", "prevents [condition]", "guaranteed recovery".
Acceptable: descriptive, non-curative wording such as "counselling for stress and low mood", "support for anxiety", "a space to talk things through", "may help you manage difficult feelings".
Credential accuracy
Credential claims must be verifiable and must not overstate licensing or statutory status in Hong Kong.
Client privacy
Do not include identifiable client stories or client personal data without appropriate consent and review.
