# Creator Policy

> Guidelines and requirements for developers on the Microapp platform.

Microapp is committed to ensuring a high-quality, secure, and user-friendly experience for all users and creators. This policy outlines the requirements and expectations for all developers publishing microapps on the platform.

## 1. General Requirements

* **Legal Compliance:** All microapps must comply with local, national, and international laws, including data privacy regulations, intellectual property rights, and applicable tax laws.
* **Deployment Eligibility:** Microapps must be deployable via the Microapp platform without the need for third-party software or extensive user configurations.

## 2. Deployment Process

* **Instant Deployment:** Developers can instantly deploy microapps after meeting basic technical and content criteria. Microapps will not undergo initial review but must comply with all platform requirements to remain active.
* **Developer Responsibility:** Developers are responsible for testing their microapp’s functionality, security, and compatibility before deployment.

## 3. Verification Requirements

To gain access to monetization and promotion, microapps must meet these verification criteria:

* **Functionality:**
  * Microapps must perform their advertised function without major bugs or errors.
  * The app should load within 5 seconds on a standard internet connection.
  * The app must not crash under normal use and must handle exceptions without disrupting the user experience.

* **Identity:**
  * Microapps that use identity must use one of Microapp's Auth SDKs.
  * Microapps must not authenticate users using an external identity system.

* **Security:**
  * Sensitive data (e.g., user credentials, personal information, and payment data) must be encrypted using AES-256 or stronger.
  * Microapps must not contain malware, spyware, or other malicious code.
  * Developers must regularly update security measures to protect against vulnerabilities.

* **User Experience:**
  * Microapps must have an intuitive, easy-to-use interface.
  * The design must be responsive for mobile, tablet, and desktop.
  * Clear navigation and error feedback should guide users when issues arise.
  * The design must be consistent with uniform fonts, colors, and UI elements.

## 4. Monetization Requirements

Only verified microapps can charge users. To enable monetization, the following criteria must be met:

* **Pricing Models:**
  * Developers can choose between subscription, one-time payment, and freemium models.
  * All pricing must be transparent, and users should be informed of any charges before initiating transactions.

* **Payment Processing:**
  * Payments must be processed exclusively through the Microapp payment system.
  * A platform fee of 10%\~30% will be applied to all transactions.

## 5. Advertising Restrictions

* **No In-App Advertising:** Advertising is not supported by Microapp at this time. Any microapps containing advertisements will be subject to removal.

## 6. Technical Standards

* **Performance:**
  * **Load Time:** Microapps should display content within 2 seconds and become fully usable within 5 seconds on a 4G connection.
  * **Responsiveness:** Microapps should respond to user interactions without noticeable delays or stuttering.
  * **Size:** Initial download size should be under 500KB (compressed). Additional resources should load only when needed.
  * **Network Efficiency:** Keep server requests minimal, with responses completed within 500ms.

* **Browser Compatibility:** Microapps must be compatible with Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Microsoft Edge and function consistently across mobile, tablet, and desktop devices.

## 7. Privacy Requirements

* **Data Collection:** Only collect data essential for the app’s operation. Developers must inform users about what data is collected and how it will be used.
* **User Consent:** Explicit user consent is required before collecting or processing personal data, in line with GDPR and CCPA regulations.
* **Data Security:** User data must be encrypted using SSL/TLS for transmission and AES-256 for storage.

## 8. Design Requirements

* **Simplicity:** Microapps must have a simple, uncluttered design that focuses on core functionality.
* **Responsiveness:** The design must be fully responsive and functional on mobile, tablet, and desktop devices.
* **Accessibility:** Developers must follow WCAG 2.1 guidelines to ensure the app is accessible to users with disabilities.

## 9. Integration Requirements

* **API Integration:** Microapps using external APIs must handle errors gracefully and ensure security in all API requests.
* **Webhook Events:** Microapps using webhooks must ensure reliable handling of events, with logs available for debugging.

## 10. Content and Legal Compliance

* **Prohibited Content:** Microapps must not promote illegal, offensive, or inappropriate content.
* **Intellectual Property:** Developers must have cleared all third-party intellectual property rights.
* **Local Law Compliance:** All microapps must comply with local laws regarding data protection and business operations.

## 11. Maintenance and Updates

* **Regular Maintenance:** Developers must update microapps regularly to address bugs, security issues, and functionality improvements.
* **Inactivity:** Microapps that remain inactive for more than 12 months may be removed.

## 12. Right to Remove Non-Compliant Microapps

Microapp reserves the right to remove any microapp that does not comply with the platform’s terms or guidelines.

## 13. Consequences for Non-Compliance

* **Warnings:** Developers will receive warnings for non-compliance and will be given a deadline to resolve issues.
* **Suspension:** Severe or repeated violations will result in suspension or removal of the app from the platform.
