Usage Restrictions
Last updated: 2020-05-18
We are proud to give people who use our product a better
way to work. We also recognize that technology is an
amplifier: it can enable the helpful and the harmful.
That’s why we’ve established this policy. If you have an
account on Browse AI, you can’t use it for any of the
restricted purposes listed below.
Restricted purposes
-
Child exploitation, sexualization, or abuse: We don’t tolerate any activities that create,
disseminate, or otherwise cause child abuse. Keep away
and stop. Just stop.
-
Doxing: If you are using Browse AI to
share other peoples’ private personal information for
the purposes of harassment, we don’t want anything to do
with you.
-
Infringing on intellectual property:
You can’t use Browse AI to make or disseminate work that
uses the intellectual property of others beyond the
bounds of
fair use.
-
Malware or spyware: Code for good, not
evil. If you are using our product to make or distribute
anything that qualifies as malware or spyware —
including remote user surveillance — begone.
-
Phishing or otherwise attempting fraud:
It is not okay to lie about who you are or who you
affiliate with to steal from, extort, or otherwise harm
others.
-
Spamming: No one wants unsolicited
commercial emails. We don’t tolerate folks (including
their bots) using Browse AI for spamming purposes. If
your emails don’t pass muster with
CAN-SPAM
or any other anti-spam law, it’s not allowed.
-
Violence, or threats thereof: If an
activity qualifies as violent crime in the United
States, Canada or where you live, you may not use Browse
AI to plan, perpetrate, or threaten that activity.
We’ve outlined these restrictions to be clear about what
we won’t stand for. That said, this list is by no means
exhaustive. We will make changes over time.
How to report abuse
See someone using Browse AI for one of the restricted
purposes? Let us know by emailing
support@browse.ai
and we will investigate. If you’re not 100% sure, report
it anyway.
Please share as much as you are comfortable with about the
account, the content or behavior you are reporting, and
how you found it. Sending us a URL or screenshots is super
helpful. If you need a secure file transfer, let us know
and we will send you a link. We will not disclose your
identity to anyone associated with the reported account.
Someone on our team will respond within one business day
to let you know we’ve begun investigating. We will also
let you know the outcome of our investigation (unless you
ask us not to or we are not allowed to under law).
