Legal
Acceptable use
No harassment or threats delivered through iyawt. What you can't use the service for, and what happens if someone does.
Last updated November 2026. Plain-language summary.
Draft, pending review by counsel. This page has not yet been reviewed by a lawyer and may change before launch.
The short version
iyawt is for messages to people who would want to hear from you. It isn't a way to reach someone who doesn't want to be reached.
Not allowed
- Harassment, threats, intimidation or abuse of any recipient.
- Messages to someone who has told you, or told us, that they don't want them.
- Content that is unlawful where you or the recipient live, including anything that exploits a child.
- Impersonating someone else, or recording on someone's behalf without their consent.
- Using iyawt to deliver files, passwords or instructions that aren't a personal message. There are better tools for that.
- Anything that interferes with the service, its safety steps or other people's accounts.
Recipients always have a choice
Every delivered message has a quiet "Don't want this message?" control. A recipient can decline further messages from a sender or report a message, and we honor that.
What we do
We never scan or watch your videos to enforce this policy. We act on reports from recipients and on legal requirements, with the two-person approval and logging described in the privacy policy. A message that breaks this policy can be withheld, and an account that breaks it can be closed.
