Content Policy & Terms

Last updated: 1 June 2026

The short version

Who can post

You must be at least 13 years old to create an account and post. By posting, you confirm the memory is your own and that you have the right to share it.

What you can post

Memory Wall 26 is for short, genuine fan memories of the 2026 FIFA World Cup — where you were, who you were with, and how a goal, an upset, a shootout, a final, or a kickoff felt. Personal, heartfelt, funny, or bittersweet are all welcome.

What's not allowed

The following will be held for review or removed, and may cost you access:

  • Hate or harassment — attacks on people based on who they are; bullying or targeting individuals.
  • Threats or violence — threats, incitement, or glorification of violence.
  • Sexual or explicit content.
  • Personal data or doxxing — phone numbers, home addresses, emails, or other private details (yours or anyone else's).
  • Spam, advertising, links, or solicitation — promotions, scams, or anything trying to sell or drive clicks.
  • Off-topic content — anything that clearly isn't a World Cup fan memory.

How moderation works

To keep the wall safe before anything appears publicly, every submission is screened — with the help of an automated classifier — the moment you post it. A submission is either published, held in a review queue, or declined. If our automated check is unavailable or unsure, your memory is held for review rather than published — we err on the side of caution.

Published memories can also be reported by other fans. Reported memories are re-reviewed and may be removed. We may remove content, decline submissions, or suspend accounts at our discretion to enforce this policy.

Your content and the licence you grant

You keep ownership of your memory. Posting it does not transfer your rights to us.

So that we can run the wall, you grant Memory Wall 26 a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, store, display, reproduce, and adapt (for formatting and presentation) your memory in connection with the service. This includes letting you turn your own memories into a personal keepsake. We do notinclude your memory in paid products built around other people’s content; we always attribute a memory to the display name on your account; and we never claim you wrote something you didn’t.

This licence lasts while your memory is on the wall, and for any personal keepsake you have already generated from your own memories. If you remove a memory (or we do), we stop displaying it in new contexts going forward.

Removing your content

You can request removal of any memory you posted at any time — no reason needed. To report someone else’s memory, use the Report link on that memory, or contact us. We aim to act on valid removal and takedown requests promptly.

Removal / takedown contact: memorywall@vitalisnet.com

Privacy — what we store

By design, we collect as little as possible:

  • Your display name, which is shown publicly on every memory you post. Use any name you like — it doesn’t have to be your real one.
  • Your email address, used only to sign you in. It is never shown publicly.
  • Country-level location only, and only if you choose a country — we store an approximate point for the map. We never take or store your precise GPS location.
  • The text of your memory, which is processed for moderation as described above.

Not affiliated with FIFA

Memory Wall 26 is an independent, fan-made project. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by FIFA, any national football association, broadcaster, or any official body connected to the 2026 FIFA World Cup. References to the tournament, teams, and competitions are descriptive only; all trademarks and names belong to their respective owners.

No warranty

The service is provided “as is,” without warranties of any kind. We don’t guarantee uninterrupted availability, and to the extent permitted by law we aren’t liable for losses arising from your use of the wall. Memories reflect the views of the fans who posted them, not ours.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the wall grows. We’ll revise the “last updated” date above, and significant changes will be reflected here. Continuing to use Memory Wall 26 after a change means you accept the updated policy.
