Acceptable use
Last updated November 5, 2026
These rules cover every app, host, client page and key that uses Bitskiff. They are part of the terms of service, and an organization is responsible for what its keys are used for.
What you send
Do not use Bitskiff to send or show anything that:
- breaks the law, or helps someone else break it;
- sexually exploits or endangers children;
- harasses or threatens a person, or incites violence against anyone;
- infringes someone else's copyright, trademark or other rights;
- carries malware, or a page that pretends to be another person or organization to collect passwords, payment details or other credentials.
The people who join
- Tell your clients what your app does with what they send, and do not collect more than your app needs.
- Do not use a session to track a person across apps or sessions without their consent.
- Do not join a session whose join code was not given to you, or use another organization's keys.
The service
- Do not get around a limit, a rate limit or a plan's ceilings, including by spreading one app across several organizations.
- Do not run load tests or stress tests against the service. It runs on a node shared with other organizations.
- Do not probe, scan or test the service's security, or try to reach another organization's data.
- Keep secret keys out of the pages and apps you give to clients, and do not share a key outside your organization.
What happens when a rule is broken
We may end a session that breaks these rules and suspend the keys behind it. We may suspend or close an organization that breaks them seriously or more than once, and we tell its owners why.
Changes
When these rules change, the new version is published here with its date.
