At Responsly, we believe in creating a powerful tool for asking questions online. We also believe that this tool should be used ethically. If you believe a survey is not being used in this way, you can report it for abuse.
Types of Abuse
We sort the various kinds of abuse into 5 main types:
1. Nudity
We don’t allow the sharing or publishing of content depicting nudity, graphic sex acts, or other sexually explicit material. We don’t allow content that drives traffic to pornography. We have a zero-tolerance policy towards content that exploits children. This means we will terminate the accounts of any user that we find sharing or publishing child abuse content. We will also report the content and its owner to law enforcement. We do not allow the sharing or publishing of content that encourages or promotes sexual attraction towards children.
2. Promoting hatred, violence, or illegal/offensive activities
Users may not share or publish content that promotes hatred or violence towards other groups based on race, ethnicity, religion, disability, gender, age, sexual orientation, or gender identity. Please note that individuals are not considered a protected group. Users may not share or publish crude content or violent content that is shockingly graphic. We will also remove content that threatens, harasses, or bullies other people or promotes dangerous and illegal activities.
3. Spam, malware, or ‘phishing’
We do not allow spamming or content that transmits viruses, causes pop-ups, attempts to install software without the user’s consent, or otherwise impacts users with malicious code or scripts. We do not allow phishing activity.
4. Private and confidential information
We do not allow users to create questions that ask for a respondent’s confidential information. Examples include: passwords, credit card details, bank account numbers, Social Security Numbers (SSN), file uploads that include the copy of an ID, or similar types of private information. Please note that we may remove surveys, delete data, and/or block accounts that do not comply.
5. Copyright infringement
It is our policy to respond to clear notices of alleged copyright infringement. If you own the copyright to material in a survey, let us know.
Report Abuse
If you feel a survey falls into one or more of the above categories, please report it to us immediately.
You can report abuse by contacting us via the Contact Widget in the bottom right corner of our website or within the app. Please provide the URL of the abusive survey and the type of abuse you are reporting.
