Personal Information & Doxxing
Do not obtain, expose, threaten to expose, trade, or solicit another person’s non-public personal information without clear permission. This includes addresses, precise location, phone numbers, private emails, legal names, schools, workplaces, relatives, IP addresses, financial data, medical data, and identifying photographs.
Dox teasing—claiming or implying that you possess private information to frighten someone—is treated seriously even if the claim is false. Combining individually public details to identify, locate, or endanger someone is also prohibited.
Remove accidental disclosures and notify staff privately. Do not quote, mirror, or “warn others” by spreading the information further.
Consent to share information in one context does not authorise permanent archiving, search indexing, sale, or redistribution to a different audience.
