These terms are an agreement between you and the people who run Hollow ("Hollow", "we", "us"). By creating an identity or logging in, you agree to them and to the Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, don't use Hollow.

• You must be at least 13, and old enough to agree to these terms where you live.
• You can't use Hollow if we've banned you, or if the law where you are doesn't allow it.

Your account is a key pair made on your device, and your 24-word seed phrase is the only way to restore it. Keep it private and keep it safe. Anyone who has it can read your messages and act as you. We never ask for it, and if you lose it, we can't recover your account.

You're responsible for what's done with your identity. Don't sell it, share it, or use someone else's.

These rules apply everywhere in Hollow, including private chats that we can't read. Don't use Hollow to:

• post, send or ask for anything sexual involving a minor, in any form. We remove it, ban the account and report it to the authorities where the law requires it.
• contact minors in a sexual way, or pretend to be a different age to reach them;
• harass, bully, threaten or intimidate anyone, or keep contacting someone who has asked you to stop;
• post or send hate against people for who they are, including race, ethnicity, religion, disability, gender, sexual orientation or nationality;
• encourage violence, terrorism, self-harm or suicide;
• send nudity or sexual content to anyone who hasn't asked for it, or post it anywhere public, like the Feed or communities;
• share someone's private information, like their address, phone number, or intimate images, without their consent;
• spam, scam, phish or sell things, or pretend to be another person, a company, or Hollow;
• buy, sell or arrange anything illegal, or break the law in any other way;
• share content that infringes someone else's copyright or other rights;
• attack, overload or break into Hollow or anyone's account, or get around a ban or a block.

You can report a message, a person, a community or a Feed post from inside the app, or email support@chathollow.com. The person you report is never told who reported them. You can also block anyone, which stops them reaching you straight away.

We review reports within 24 hours. When something breaks these rules, we can:

• remove the content;
• ban the account from the Feed;
• take down a community;
• ban the account from Hollow, which signs it out everywhere and stops it signing in again.

1:1 and group chats are end-to-end encrypted, so we can't see them. When you report a message from one, your app sends us that message so we can act on it. We can act without warning, and we don't have to explain every decision. If you think we got it wrong, email us.

What you post and send stays yours. So that Hollow can work, you let us store it, pass it along to the people it's meant for, and show public posts, community messages and profiles to other people on Hollow. That permission ends when you delete the content or your account, except for copies other people already have, like messages they've received.

Posts on the Feed and messages in communities are public. Anyone on Hollow can see them, so only post what you'd be fine with anyone seeing.

You can stop using Hollow any time, and you can erase your account with Delete Identity Permanently in Settings. We can suspend or ban an account that breaks these terms. We can also change or stop Hollow, or any part of it.

Hollow is provided "as is". We work hard to keep it secure and running, but we can't promise that it will always be available, free of bugs, or that messages will always be delivered. To the extent the law allows, we aren't liable for indirect or consequential losses, or for what other people say or do on Hollow. Nothing here limits rights you have that the law doesn't let us take away.

If we change these terms, we'll update the date at the top. If a change is significant, we'll tell you in the app before it takes effect. If you keep using Hollow after that, you're agreeing to the new terms.
