These terms govern your use of Confessions. By using the platform you confirm that you have read them and accept them. If you do not accept them, please do not use the platform.
What the platform is and what it does
Confessions is an interactive social platform that lets people share posts, stories, experiences, opinions, feelings, personal situations, and comments in a digital space made for that kind of writing. The platform's role is limited to providing the technical space for publishing and interaction. It does not in any way mean that the platform adopts, endorses, confirms, or approves the content published on it.
Your responsibility for what you publish
You are solely and fully responsible for everything you publish, send, or share on the platform — through posts, comments, private messages, anonymous messages, reports, account data, or any other means available here. You confirm that anything you publish does not break applicable law, does not infringe anyone's rights, and does not violate these terms or the community rules.
Prohibited content
The platform may not be used to publish, send, or share content that breaks the law, public order, public decency, the rights of others, or the platform's policies. This includes, without limitation:
- Defaming people or organisations, or making direct accusations without evidence.
- Publishing personal information, photos, or contact details belonging to other people without their consent.
- Threats, blackmail, harassment, or incitement against a person or a group.
- Hate speech, or discrimination on the basis of religion, sect, nationality, ethnicity, colour, or gender.
- Explicit sexual content, sexual solicitation, or any content involving minors in a sexual context.
- Content that encourages self-harm, suicide, or harming others, or that explains how to do it.
- Impersonating another person or an official body.
- Advertising, spam, repeated content, or links published only to drive traffic elsewhere.
The team's right to review, remove, and restrict
The team reserves the full right to review, hide, delete, edit, or restrict access to any content published on the platform, without prior notice, where it considers that the content breaks these terms, causes harm, or could expose the platform or its users to a problem. The team may also restrict accounts or disable features for them, temporarily or permanently, according to the nature of the violation.
Disclaimer
You acknowledge, understand, and agree that your use of Confessions is entirely at your own risk. The platform, its services, and the content available on it are provided as is and as available, without warranties of any kind, express or implied. The team, the owner, the operators, the developers, the moderators, and any associated party bear no liability for any direct or indirect damage arising from use of the platform, from content published by users, or from interaction between users.
Privacy and no guarantee of absolute secrecy
The platform works to provide an experience that respects your privacy, but it does not guarantee absolute secrecy for anything published or sent through it. Anything you publish may be viewable, copyable, saveable, or shareable by others depending on the feature used. Do not publish sensitive data or personal information about yourself or anyone else.
Accounts and login security
When you create an account, you are responsible for keeping your login details confidential. Any activity carried out through your account is treated as yours unless shown otherwise, as the team sees fit. Creating fake accounts to harm others, get around restrictions, evade penalties, or misuse the platform's features is prohibited.
Private messages
The platform may offer features for communicating between users, such as private messages and anonymous messages. Use of these must stay within the limits of respect and safety: no nuisance, harassment, threats, or sending content that breaks the rules. You acknowledge that the conversations and messages you send are your responsibility alone, and that the team is not responsible for any agreement, transaction, or dispute arising between users through them.
Reports and handling violations
The platform provides ways to report content, accounts, and messages that break the rules. Reports are handled at the team's discretion and according to the information available, and the platform is not obliged to take a specific action on every report. Misusing the reporting system — malicious, misleading, or repeated reports with no clear reason — is prohibited and may itself lead to action against the account responsible.
Ownership and use
All of the platform's code, design, visual identity, interfaces, fixed texts, and technical features are owned by or licensed to the platform, and may not be copied, reused, or exploited commercially without clear prior permission. As for content published by users, responsibility for it stays with its author, while the platform is granted the right to display, store, and organise it inside the platform as needed to operate the service.
Advertising and external links
The platform may contain advertisements, links, or services belonging to third parties. Their presence does not mean the platform recommends them, guarantees their content, or takes responsibility for dealing with them. Moving to an external site or interacting with an external advertisement or service is at your own risk, and those sites and services are governed by their own terms and policies.
Suspension, discontinuation, and change
The team may modify, suspend, or discontinue any service, feature, page, account, or content at any time, for technical, security, administrative, legal, or operational reasons, without any obligation to compensate or give prior notice. The platform may also change how features work, add new restrictions, or remove existing ones.
Changes to these terms
The team reserves the right to change these terms at any time. The updated version is published on the platform, and continuing to use the platform after changes are published counts as acceptance of the new version. It is your responsibility to review these terms from time to time to see any updates.
Law and compliance
You undertake to use the platform in a way that does not break the laws and regulations in force in your country or in any country that applies to you. Where a legal violation arises from your use of the platform, you bear responsibility for it alone. The team may cooperate with the competent authorities where there is a valid legal request or where that is necessary to protect the platform or its users.
Final agreement
By using the platform you confirm that you understand what it is, that the content published on it comes from its users, and that you accept full responsibility for your use of it and for any content you publish, send, or interact with. You also agree that the team is not responsible for users' actions, their content, or any consequences arising from using the platform.
