Acceptable Use Policy

This policy keeps the ProofKit network safe and usable. It applies to everyone using the service, alongside the Terms of Service.

01 /Legitimate use

Using ProofKit to circumvent censorship, evade surveillance, and protect your privacy is a legitimate and encouraged use of the service.

02 /Prohibited use

You must not use ProofKit to:

• Produce, store, or distribute child sexual abuse material (CSAM).
• Support terrorism or violent extremism.
• Evade applicable sanctions or export controls.
• Launch attacks — hacking, DDoS, port scanning, malware, or command-and-control.
• Send spam, run phishing, or commit fraud.
• Distribute other people's personal data without authorization.
• Do anything illegal in your jurisdiction or the operator's jurisdiction.

03 /Operator node policies

Operators may set their own node policies. For example, many nodes run Torrent Guard, which blocks or rate-limits peer-to-peer traffic, while others may allow it. Respect the policy of the node you connect through; P2P/torrent traffic may be blocked.

04 /Enforcement

Violations may result in session termination, account suspension, operator slashing, and, where legally required, cooperation with lawful requests. We aim to act proportionately.

05 /Reporting abuse

Report abuse to [email protected]. For copyright specifically, see the DMCA Policy.

06 /Changes

We may update this policy; the “Last updated” date will change.
