Widget and public API
The public widget and changelog endpoints are meant for product updates. Do not use them to track users across unrelated sites, inject malicious scripts, or collect personal data beyond what Hearof provides.
Enforcement
We may investigate suspected violations. We may remove content, disable widgets, suspend accounts, or terminate access without prior notice when we reasonably believe this AUP or the law has been violated. We may report illegal activity to authorities.
Reporting
Report abuse to hearof@vblinden.dev. Include URLs, screenshots, and enough detail for us to investigate.
Changes
We may update this AUP. The latest version will be posted on this page with an updated date.
