Acceptable Use Policy

This Acceptable Use Policy applies to everyone using OIO (the "Service"). It supplements our Terms of Service. Violating this policy may result in suspension or termination of your account without refund, and in serious cases, referral to law enforcement.

You Must Not

• Harass, threaten, stalk, or harm any person via content processed by the Service.
• Upload, generate, or request content that sexually exploits minors. This will be reported to authorities.
• Upload malware, viruses, ransomware, or any code designed to damage or gain unauthorized access to systems.

Intellectual property

• Upload content that infringes copyright, trademark, trade secret, or other IP rights.
• Use the Service to pirate software, media, or paid content.

Privacy violations

• Use the Service to scrape, harvest, or aggregate personal data about individuals without consent.

Abuse of the Service

• Probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the Service except under our responsible-disclosure process.
• Circumvent authentication, rate limits, or access controls.
• Automate account creation, spam sign-ups, or fake accounts.
• Overload the Service with excessive requests or abuse AI features to extract model behavior.
• Resell or sublicense the Service without written permission.
• Use the Service to operate competing AI or data services by extracting data at scale.

Messaging abuse

• Send unsolicited commercial messages (spam) via any channel integrated with the Service.
• Impersonate any person or organization in communications.
• Forge headers or manipulate identifiers to disguise the origin of any content.

AI-Specific Rules

• Do not submit data to AI features that you are not allowed to disclose to our AI providers, which process it in the USA (see the Privacy Policy).
• Do not use AI output to generate illegal content, disinformation, or content that impersonates real people in harmful ways.
• Do not attempt to extract or reproduce the underlying model weights or training data.
• AI output may be inaccurate. Do not rely on it for legal, financial, medical, or safety-critical decisions without independent verification.

What We Do About Violations

We do not monitor what you store, but we act on reports and on what we find while running the Service. Depending on how serious and how repeated the problem is, we may remove or block content, turn off a sharing link or form, limit features, or suspend or close the account. We tell the affected user what we did and why, and how to challenge it, as set out in section 11 of the Terms. Child sexual abuse material is removed at once and reported to the authorities.

Reporting Illegal Content

Send reports to [email protected]. So we can act, include:

• why you believe the content is illegal or breaks this policy;
• the exact link (URL) to it, and anything else that helps us find it;
• your name and email (you can leave these out for child sexual abuse material);
• a statement that you believe in good faith that the information in your report is accurate and complete.

We confirm receipt, look at every report, decide without undue delay and tell you what we decided. We do not use automated decision-making for reports.

Copyright Complaints

If you believe content on OIO infringes your copyright, send a report to [email protected] with: the work you say is infringed; the link to the content; your contact details; a statement that you believe in good faith the use is not authorised by you, your agent or the law; a statement that the report is accurate and that you own the right or may act for the owner; and your physical or electronic signature. We remove or disable access to the content when the report is valid and tell the user.

Counter-notice. If your content was removed after a copyright report and you think that was a mistake, reply with the link to the removed content, a statement that you believe in good faith it was removed by mistake or misidentification, your name and address, and your agreement that the reporting party may sue you in the courts where you live (or in Poznań, Poland if you live outside the EU and the USA). We pass it to the reporter and may restore the content unless they tell us they have started legal action. We close the accounts of repeat infringers.

Changes

We may update this policy. We give notice of material changes the same way as for the Terms.
