Website Rules

1. Scope and document hierarchy

Use of the IAMHUMAN community is also governed by the Website Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, these Rules, and the Human Commitment. Mandatory law prevails; a lawful, more specific rule controls the same subject.

2. Adults only

You must be at least 18 years old, have the legal capacity required for your use, and truthfully confirm adult eligibility during registration. The service is not directed to children and an account may be restricted or deleted if the confirmation is false.

3. Accounts and Human ID

Registration requires a valid Human ID and private holder verification, and one Human ID may bind only one account. Human ID is not an identity document, government online identity, real-name check, reliable electronic signature, credit record, or permanent human proof. Registration separately accepts these Rules and makes the Human Commitment, then manually enters the localized phrase; disabling paste is only an interaction requirement, while server validation is the boundary. This is not a CAPTCHA or signature service.

Behaviour data (required to register)

To keep this a community of people, IAMHUMAN collects behaviour data about how you use the service: how the interactions unfold when you verify; the times of your posts, responses and messages; a few statistics about how you write them (such as edits, pauses, pasting and time taken); the results and times of re-checks; and whether you use the website or which app version. Behaviour data never includes what you write or send, which keys you press, your contacts, location, camera, microphone or any device fingerprint.

This data is how we tell people from programs, so it is required: if you do not agree, you cannot register, and existing members must accept this version before they can keep using the community. It is used only for verification, account safety and community governance. It is not used for advertising, not sold, and not used to identify who you are. Some of it is currently only observed and counted; the Privacy Policy says which parts are used for decisions.

Writing statistics are kept for 30 days; re-check results and changes of risk level for about 13 months; the per-account summary for as long as the account exists. All of it is deleted when you delete your account. The Privacy Policy lists each item and how long it is kept. Privacy Policy

(1) Motion-sensor statistics during verification in the app

Once this feature is available in the IAMHUMAN app, the app reads your phone's motion sensors (such as the accelerometer) during the few seconds in which you complete a verification in the app (at sign-up, re-verification or a spot check). It turns the readings into a small number of statistics on the phone itself, for example whether the phone is being held and whether taps coincide with matching movement. We receive only these statistics; raw sensor readings never leave your phone.

The statistics are used only to tell a person apart from emulators and automated programs. They are not used to identify you, are not compared with other accounts, are not used to build a personal profile, and are not biometric data. The absence of such signals (for example, when the phone is lying on a table or you use assistive devices) never counts as a failed verification.

The website does not read motion sensors. The statistics are kept with the verification record for up to about 13 months.

(2) Signing in to the website with your phone

Once this feature is available, signing in to the website may require scanning a QR code with the IAMHUMAN app on the phone that holds your Human ID, and confirming on that phone.

After extended use of the website, or when something looks unusual or you are selected at random, we may ask you to scan again and complete a short verification on your phone within a time limit. Until you do, you can keep reading on the website, but posting, commenting and messaging are paused.

So that you can confirm on your phone that a sign-in request really comes from you, the phone shows the requesting browser type, operating system and time. You can view and end all website sessions from the app at any time. Some features may in future be offered only in the app.

4. Human participation and the AI boundary

Bot accounts, bulk or unattended actions, AI-agent participation, and presenting generative-AI output or material rewrites in text, images, audio, or video as personal expression are prohibited. Screen readers, switch control, input methods, ordinary spellcheck, and faithful transcription of the user's own words are allowed. The platform does not infer origin from a pledge or AI detector alone.

5. Content, interactions, and user rights

Unlawful content, fraud, impersonation, harassment, cyberbullying, hate, threats, self-harm encouragement, sexual or child-exploitation content, spam, manipulation, infringement, and personal-data disclosure are prohibited. Users retain rights in original content and grant only a limited, non-exclusive service licence; the current service does not sell messages or train generative AI on community content.

6. Public content, friends, messages, and privacy

Posts, comments, names, and interaction status are visible to signed-in members. Messages, including images, voice messages and videos you choose to send, are friend-only but stored in plaintext on the server and are not end-to-end encrypted; do not send highly sensitive data, including photos, recordings or videos of identity documents, passwords, or similar material. Illegal content in messages can be reported. See the Privacy Policy for processing, overseas storage, retention, deletion, and other rights.

Using community features

• Editing: posts can be edited for 7 days after posting, a limited number of times; earlier versions are kept for 30 days for moderation only.
• Gatherings: gatherings are for members aged 18 and over. When posting one, give only a city or district; the organiser shares the venue privately after sign-up. Meet in public places and leave whenever you feel uncomfortable.
• Mutual aid: mutual aid is support between members, with no loans, payments or money of any kind.
• Post media: a post can carry up to 9 photos, or one audio clip, or one video. Location and other hidden details are removed from photos and videos before upload; every signed-in member can see them.
• Reports and blocking: you can report posts, responses, messages and members. Hiding a post changes only your own feed and does not withdraw a report. Blocking a member removes the friendship, and neither of you can message the other.
• Bookmarks: only you can see what you save; authors are not notified.

Concerns, evidence and account decisions

One signal per person for each post or account. Thirty distinct reporters prioritize evidence review, not suspension. A count is not proof. Explicit administrator restrictions for substantiated harm remain independent and may be appealed. Confirmed AI impersonation may result in a human administrator ban. Deletion does not erase case evidence or confirmed Human ID sanctions. Coordinated, retaliatory, discriminatory or harassing reports are prohibited.

7. Reports, evidence, and urgent risk

Use the report control or contact email for impersonation, privacy exposure, cyberbullying, and other risks, identifying the target, reason, and evidence where possible. Matters involving minors, danger, spreading private data, or suspected crime are prioritized; for immediate danger also contact local emergency services or law enforcement.

8. Enforcement, appeal, updates, and contact

The operator may apply warnings, restrictions, removal, suspension, or closure proportionately to evidence; urgent protection may come first and principal reasons are given where practicable. Users may appeal by contact email, and a pledge or automated assessment cannot alone determine a penalty. Material changes require renewed explicit confirmation, not deemed consent from continued use. The details below serve reports, appeals, privacy rights, minor protection, and disputes.
