Askhive
Acceptable Use Policy
What Askhive may not be used for, and what happens when it is.
Last updated: 29 September 2026
Written by us, in plain language, and kept true rather than lawyerly: every factual sentence here is one we can show you the mechanism for. If anything looks wrong, tell us at
support@bridgeshorelabs.com and we will correct it.
What this is
One page of rules that apply everywhere Askhive is used — the apps, Practice, shared reports, and
the API. Breaking them can cost you access.
Do not use Askhive to
- Hurt people. Plan or carry out violence; make a weapon; synthesise a drug or a poison;
stalk, dox, harass, threaten or impersonate anyone.
- Exploit children. Any sexual content involving minors, or any attempt to produce it.
- Break the law, or help someone else break it.
- Deceive. Generate content presented as human-authored professional advice when it is
not; fabricate records, receipts, reviews or credentials; impersonate a person or an
organisation.
- Handle data you have no right to. Do not put someone else's personal data into Askhive
without a lawful basis. Professionals: do not put a client's data in without the relationship
and any consent that requires.
- Attack the service. Do not probe, scrape, overload, or work around rate limits,
passcodes, moderation, or plan limits. Do not guess share tokens or passcodes.
- Resell it as your own general-purpose report generator.
What we do about it
Two things happen automatically, and one is deliberately narrow.
Refusal. A request that asks for serious harm is refused. That check runs on the server,
applies to the API as well as the app, and cannot be turned off.
Care, not refusal. A question about a sensitive subject — self-harm, abuse, a medical
emergency — is not refused. It is answered, and the report leads with real sources of
help. Asking for help is not misuse and we will not treat it as such.
We do not read your reports looking for violations. If something is reported to us, or abuse
protections fire repeatedly, we may investigate and suspend access. For a serious or repeated
breach we may terminate. Where it is reasonable we tell you first.
Reporting a problem
A report that was harmful or wrong: use Report a response on the report itself, which sends
it to us with the report attached. Anything else:
support@bridgeshorelabs.com.
