Canopy Trove Community Guidelines
Canopy Trove is for lawful storefront discovery and useful storefront feedback. Reviews, community photos, and reports must stay honest, specific, and safe.
These community standards apply to the Canopy Trove service operated by Canopy Trove LLC.
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
- a public Verify tab that cross-checks shop licenses against the New York Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) public registry and resolves product QR codes to lab Certificate of Analysis details — a self-serve trust check that complements moderation
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.
