Hi,

My app version has been rejected due to "Guideline 5.2.1 - Legal - Intellectual Property with third party".

My app is open to writers who are sending they own content to the app. One of them uploaded an image of the world cup logo and apple rejected the app update due to that, as we do not have the rights to use any FIFA logo

I understand but as this is third party content, is there an exception, for example at the moment on Instagram there is a million of posts about world cup containing logos, and I am pretty sure thy do not have issue with the Guideline 5.2.1

Thanks for the help

Apple is extremely cautious on rights, notably for FIFA.

You don't know what are the agreements between Instagram and FIFA.

Could you explain:

  • are the users content only on your servers
  • or are they included in the app

That could make a difference.

We have a website where users can write the content they want with images. This content is saved on our servers and then displayed on the app
