Terms of Service

Eligibility: 18+ Age Floor

You must be at least eighteen (18) years old to register or use perso.social. By creating an account you represent that you meet this age requirement.

Territorial Scope: Not Available in the UK, Crown Dependencies, or Gibraltar

perso is operated from the European Union by ACGG Rent, S.L. perso is not directed to, offered to, or made available to residents of the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands (Jersey and Guernsey), the Isle of Man, or Gibraltar. By creating an account you confirm that you are not resident in any of those jurisdictions. Account creation from a declared residence in any of them is refused, and we do not knowingly register, serve, or monitor residents of those jurisdictions.

Identity Verification

Usage of specific features (posting, commenting) requires successful identity verification through our third-party identity-verification provider, Didit. Verification is an account-level badge and does not constitute an endorsement by perso.social of any user’s content or conduct.

Content Ownership

You retain 100% ownership of the content you post. By posting, you grant perso.social a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, display, and distribute your content solely for the purpose of operating the Service. This license terminates when you delete the content or your account, except to the extent the content has been shared with others who have not deleted it.

Anti-Scraping

Automated collection, scraping, or extraction of any perso.social content, user data, or metadata is prohibited absent prior written authorisation. This includes the use of headless browsers, bots, or any system designed to circumvent rate limits or access controls.

Prohibited Conduct

• Impersonation of any real individual or organisation.
• Operation of automated, bot-driven, or coordinated inauthentic accounts.
• Posting content that violates applicable EU or local law.
• Circumventing the verification requirement or sharing access to a verified account.

Child Safety

perso has zero tolerance for child sexual abuse and exploitation. Content that sexually exploits, sexualises, or endangers a child is prohibited, and so is any use of perso to solicit, groom, or exploit a child. Accounts involved are suspended and, where a case is confirmed, permanently terminated. Confirmed child sexual abuse material is preserved as evidence and reported to the competent Spanish authorities. Our Child Safety Standards set out how detection, reporting, and enforcement work, and how to report a concern.

Direct Messages

You may use direct messages only in accordance with these Terms and the Community Guidelines. Do not use direct messages to harass, threaten, deceive, impersonate, distribute unlawful material, evade another member's block or message settings, or send unsolicited commercial communications. We may remove messages, restrict direct-messaging access, block communication between members, or take other proportionate action where permitted by law and these Terms.

Content Moderation & Automated Tools

To help keep perso safe, we use automated tools to review content before and after it's posted. This includes a third-party image-classification model that screens uploads for nudity and other sensitive content, and Microsoft's PhotoDNA service, which checks submitted images and sampled video frames against known records of child sexual abuse material using a one-way, non-reversible hash; it never stores or views the original image. PhotoDNA matches known material only and cannot by itself identify all harmful or unlawful material. Every video you upload is withheld from display until an authorized reviewer has reviewed it and approved it, whether or not an automated check flags it. An image is withheld for human review only if the classifier flags it. If media held for review has not been reviewed within 36 hours of upload, we delete it instead of holding it any longer, and we tell you so that you can upload it again. That is not a decision about you or your content. No fully automated decision leads to content removal or account restriction without human review. Every moderation action is recorded in a structured audit trail. You may appeal any moderation decision for six months from the date of the decision, through our internal complaint-handling system: members appeal in the app, from the decision notice itself. Six months is the period the Digital Services Act requires and the period our systems allow. If you are not satisfied with the outcome, you may bring the matter to a certified out-of-court dispute settlement body under Article 21 of the Digital Services Act, or to a consumer dispute resolution body in your country of residence where one is available, and nothing here limits your right to go to a court. Anyone, with or without an account, may tell us about content they believe is illegal using the notice form at perso.social/report-illegal-content. This is our notice and action mechanism under Article 16 of the Digital Services Act. We acknowledge every notice that gives us a way to reply, and we tell the notifier what we decide. These Terms and our moderation practice follow Articles 14 to 16 of Regulation (EU) 2022/2065.

Suspension & Termination

perso.social may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms, the Community Guidelines, or applicable law. Termination of an account does not relieve the user of liability for prior conduct.

Governing Law

• These Terms are governed by the laws of Spain, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Disputes shall be resolved in the competent courts of Madrid, Spain.
• If you are a consumer habitually resident in the European Economic Area, nothing in these Terms, including the choice of governing law and forum above, deprives you of the protection afforded by the mandatory provisions of the law of your country of residence, and you may bring or defend proceedings in the courts of that country. These Terms do not affect your statutory consumer rights.
