Acceptable Use Policy

Effective Date: May 9, 2026
Last updated: September 14, 2026

This Acceptable Use Policy sets out the rules for using flashcardaudit.com and Arena, our mobile app. We want to keep the platform safe and fair for all users.

1. Prohibited Content

On flashcardaudit.com, you agree not to upload any Anki decks or content that:

  • Is Illegal: Includes child sexual abuse material (CSAM), non-consensual sexual content, or content promoting terrorism or violence.
  • Violates IP: Infringes on the copyright, trademark, or patent rights of others. You expressly represent and warrant that any factual content, text, or media you upload is either in the public domain, licensed for your use, or originally created by you, and that you have all rights necessary to grant the Company the licenses described in our Terms of Service, including the right to extract and retain the underlying factual concepts in anonymized form.
  • Sensitive Data: Includes Personally Identifiable Information (PII), confidential medical records, or third-party private data you do not have permission to share.
  • Harassment: Contains content intended to harass, threaten, or defame specific individuals.
  • Harmful Content: Promotes self-harm, eating disorders, or provides instructions for dangerous or illegal activities.
  • Contains Malware: Includes viruses, trojans, worms, or any code designed to disrupt the Service.
  • Promotes Hate Speech: Advocates for violence or discrimination against protected groups.

2. Arena Profile Photos

In Arena, the members of your guilds can see your profile photo. You agree not to use a photo that:

  • Is Illegal: Includes child sexual abuse material (CSAM), non-consensual sexual content, or content promoting terrorism or violence.
  • Is Explicit or Graphic: Contains nudity or sexually explicit content, or depicts graphic violence.
  • Shows Someone Else: Depicts another person without their permission, or impersonates anyone.
  • Violates IP: Is a photo you do not own and do not have permission to use.
  • Harasses or Promotes Hate: Is intended to harass, threaten, or demean anyone, or advocates violence or discrimination against protected groups.

Every photo is checked automatically before it is stored, and you can report a guildmate's photo from their profile. Reports come to us for review.

3. Prohibited Actions

  • System Abuse: You must not attempt to "Game" our system, bypass rate limits, or exploit the token budget (e.g., uploading "Zip bombs" or massively redundant files to exhaust our compute).
  • Reverse Engineering: You must not attempt to reverse engineer our "QualityScore" algorithm or access our internal APIs.
  • Vulnerability Scanning: You may not run automated vulnerability scans or penetration tests against our infrastructure without prior written permission.
  • Audit Title Integrity: You must not include PII (e.g., your full name, SSN, phone number) or inappropriate content (e.g., slurs, sexually explicit text) in any "Audit Name" or title field.
  • Unauthorized Sharing of Audits: While audit URLs are unlisted, you must not publicly share, post, or publish the link to your audit report if the underlying Anki deck contains copyrighted material that you do not have the explicit legal right to distribute.

4. Enforcement

We reserve the right to investigate any violation of this policy. If we determine that you have violated this AUP, we may:

  • Terminate your access to the Service immediately.
  • Delete your offending content.
  • Remove your Arena profile photo, in which case the next photo you upload is checked more strictly.
  • Ban your IP address.
  • Report illegal content (especially CSAM) to the NCMEC and law enforcement.

Whatever other action we take, we will report apparent child sexual abuse material to the NCMEC and law enforcement, whether it was uploaded to flashcardaudit.com or to Arena as a profile photo.
