ProtonURL ("we", "us", "our") is committed to providing a safe, legal, and responsible AI-powered content generation and secret sharing service. This Acceptable Use Policy ("Policy") governs all content generated, published, transmitted, or stored through the Service. All users, developers, and integrators must comply with this Policy.

• Use the Service's input, output, model responses, or any derivative data to train, fine-tune, benchmark, distill, or otherwise develop any AI or machine learning model that directly or indirectly competes with the Service or ProtonURL.
• Large-scale systematic scraping or collection of model outputs for purposes beyond your authorized personal use.
• Represent AI-generated content as output from a human professional (e.g., licensed doctor, attorney, or financial advisor) in contexts where doing so could cause harm.

3. Content Moderation Mechanism

ProtonURL employs a multi-layer moderation system combining automated detection, human review, and periodic audits.

3.1 Automated Moderation (Real-Time)

All requests and generated content are scanned in real time by safety filters:

• Input filtering: keyword, semantic, and intent analysis of prompts.
• Output filtering: real-time safety assessment of generated content.
• Usage pattern analysis: monitoring for anomalous API call behavior.
• Safety models used: OpenAI Moderation API and proprietary models.

3.2 Human Review

• Content automatically flagged enters a human review queue.
• User-reported content is reviewed by our Trust & Safety team.
• Reviewers complete content safety training and sign confidentiality agreements.

3.3 Periodic Audits

• Random sampling reviews are conducted monthly.
• Automated moderation system accuracy is regularly evaluated and improved.

3.4 Content Classification

L1 — Severe	Child safety, terrorism	Auto-block + human confirmation	Immediate ban + report
