Acceptable Use Policy

This policy is part of the Terms of Service. It applies to everyone who uses showdo: account holders, workspace members, and people who open guides. Workspace owners and admins are also responsible for how their workspace is used.

Do not use showdo for anything illegal, or to help someone else break the law. That includes fraud, harassment, stalking, hate, exploitation of children, threats, theft of data, and breaking sanctions or export rules.

showdo records your screen and what you click. Other people's information may appear on it. So:

• Record only your own screen, or a screen you are allowed to record.
• Get permission from people whose private information, messages or work will appear, where the law, your employer or the site's rules ask for it.
• Do not use showdo to watch people secretly, to collect information about a person without their knowledge, or to record a private conversation.
• Do not record in places where you must not, such as a secure system you are not allowed to document, or a site whose rules ban recording.
• If a guide shows other people's personal information, blur it before you share, and check the guide before you publish.

showdo is not for collecting credentials.

• Do not record yourself or anyone else typing passwords, one-time codes, card numbers, secret keys or recovery phrases. showdo blurs and skips such fields, but you must still not try to capture them or work around that.
• Do not turn off blurring so that you can capture secrets.
• If you see a secret in a guide, remove the step and change the secret.

Do not put content in showdo that:

• is illegal, or that you have no right to use;
• infringes someone's copyright, trademark or other rights;
• is hateful, threatening, harassing or sexually explicit involving children or non-consenting people;
• contains malware, or steps meant to harm a computer or account;
• is meant to trick people, such as scams or false guides that pretend to be someone else's.

Do not share guides in ways that mislead people about who wrote them.

showdo's AI features are for making guides. Do not use them to:

• make content that breaks this policy;
• try to make the AI ignore its instructions, reveal other people's data or reveal how showdo works;
• send huge amounts of requests to run up costs or slow the service for others;
• present AI writing as certain facts without checking it.

Read the AI page to see what is sent and where.

Do not:

• try to get into accounts, workspaces or data that are not yours;
• test or scan showdo for weaknesses outside the process on the Security page;
• scrape, copy or harvest guides, pages or accounts in bulk with automated tools;
• get around limits, rules, sign-in checks, or a suspension;
• overload or disturb the service;
• take the apps apart or copy them, except where the law lets you;
• sell or share access keys, or let someone else use your account.

Owners and admins decide who joins and what is allowed in their workspace. You must make sure your members know this policy, remove people who break it, and respond to reports about your workspace.

If you see something that breaks this policy, email [email protected] with a link or the name of the guide and what is wrong. For security weaknesses, use the address on the Security page.

If you break these rules, we may remove content, limit a feature, pause or end an account, tell the workspace owner, and where the law requires or people are at risk, tell the police or other authorities. When it is safe and reasonable, we will tell you first and give you a chance to fix the problem.

We may update this policy. We will change the date and version history below, and tell you about changes that matter.
