User policy

Last updated: 30 October 2026

By using the Uniform Chat apps you agree to this policy. It sets out what you must not post or send with them. Your Matrix server, which keeps your account, has its own terms as well, and its admins enforce them.

Not allowed

Do not post, send or share:

• Child sexual abuse material, or anything that sexualises or endangers minors. There is no tolerance for it: it is reported to the authorities.
• Illegal content, or content that helps commit crimes, such as selling illegal goods or services.
• Harassment, threats or bullying, including targeting someone after they have blocked you.
• Hate speech: attacks on people for their race, ethnicity, religion, disability, gender, age, sexual orientation or similar.
• Violent extremism, or content that glorifies or incites violence.
• Sexual content shared without consent, such as intimate images of others.
• Spam and scams: unwanted bulk messages, phishing, fraud, or malware.
• Impersonation of other people or organisations in a way that misleads.
• Others' private information, such as addresses or documents, without their consent.

Reporting and blocking

When you meet content or people that break these rules, report them from the message's menu, the room's menu, or with /report in the terminal client. Reports go to the admins of your server, who can remove content and close accounts. You can also block people, so that their messages and invites no longer reach you.

What happens

Server admins act on reports under their own terms: they may remove content, close rooms, and deactivate accounts that break the rules. Content that is illegal may be reported to the authorities.

The developer of the apps does not host your messages or rooms, unless you use a server the developer runs, whose admins then act on reports the same way.
