Acceptable Use & Content Policy

You may share only content that you own or otherwise have the legal right to store, publish, and distribute. Supported formats include documents (PDF), images (PNG, JPG, WebP, GIF), video (MP4, WebM, MOV), ZIP archives, and HTML for static pages. Executable programs and scripts are blocked outright, both by file type and by inspecting the file's actual bytes, so a renamed executable is still rejected. HTML pages run only inside a sandboxed frame.

Remember that a public link can be viewed by anyone who has the URL, with no login to view. Uploaded files are protected by encryption in transit and stored in a private bucket served through signed links, but they are not end-to-end encrypted and not zero-knowledge: we and our content-safety providers can technically access stored file content. Only our peer-to-peer Direct Send transfers device-to-device with nothing stored on our servers. Please do not upload sensitive or confidential information to a public link, and do not upload anything you do not have the right to make available.

You must not host, display, upload, publish, transmit, store, update, or share any of the following. This list reflects the categories our safety systems screen for and the categories of unlawful content set out in Rule 3(1)(b)(i) to (x) of the IT (Intermediary Guidelines) Rules, 2021, read with the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 and the Information Technology Act, 2000.

• Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM / CSEA). We have zero tolerance. Any sexual content involving, sexualising, or endangering a minor, real or artificially generated, is forbidden, removed immediately, and reported to the authorities. See our dedicated Child Safety Policy (Section 67B, IT Act, 2000 and Sections 13 to 15 and 19 to 21, POCSO Act, 2012).
• Adult and sexually explicit material. Pornography, obscene material, and sexually explicit imagery or video (BNS Sections 294 and 295; IT Act Sections 67 and 67A).
• Non-consensual intimate imagery (NCII). So-called revenge porn, hidden-camera or upskirt content, and any image or video that exposes a person's private area, shows full or partial nudity, or depicts a sexual act, shared without that person's consent, including morphed or deepfake images.
• Defamatory content. Content that is defamatory of any person, or that is false and injures another person's reputation (Rule 3(1)(b)(i)).
• Graphic violence and gore. Real depictions of extreme violence, mutilation, or gratuitous gore, and content that glorifies it.
• Hate speech and discrimination. Content that attacks, demeans, or incites hatred against people based on religion, caste, race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, disability, or other protected characteristics.
• Harassment, bullying, and threats. Targeted abuse, stalking, intimidation, or threats of violence against any person.
• Self-harm and suicide promotion. Content that encourages, instructs, or glorifies self-harm, suicide, or eating disorders.
• Terrorism and violent extremism. Content that promotes, supports, or provides material for terrorist or violent extremist organisations or acts.
• Illegal goods and activities. The sale or facilitation of illegal drugs, weapons, or other regulated or prohibited goods, and content that promotes gambling or money laundering.
• Fraud, phishing, scams, and impersonation. Pages that imitate a login, bank, wallet, or brand to capture passwords, card numbers, or personal data; deceptive schemes; and pretending to be a person, business, or government entity you are not (BNS Sections 318 and 319 on cheating and impersonation).
• Malware and harmful code. Viruses, trojans, spyware, ransomware, or any file designed to damage, disrupt, or gain unauthorised access to a device or network.
• Intellectual property infringement. Copyrighted works, trademarks, or other protected material you do not have the right to share. See our copyright notice channel.
• Privacy violations and doxxing. Publishing another person's private or identifying information without their consent, including content invasive of a person's bodily privacy.
• Misinformation causing real-world harm. Patently false or misleading information that is likely to cause harm, and content that threatens the unity, integrity, defence, security, or sovereignty of India, its friendly relations with foreign states, or public order.
• Anything otherwise unlawful. Any content that is unlawful under the IT Act, 2000, the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, or the laws of your own jurisdiction.

We take reasonable steps to enforce this policy, but we do not pre-approve, curate, or guarantee the legality of user content, and we do not monitor everything. Our safety work is best-effort and is not a warranty that all content on the service is lawful. What we do:

• Automated scanning on upload. Files are checked by several content-safety providers (OpenAI, Google Cloud Vision, and Google Web Risk) that return an automated safety score. A flagged upload may be held for review or blocked before it becomes public, so please do not assume it catches everything. These providers are located in the United States and receive extracted text and image frames solely to return that score; see our Privacy Policy for the full disclosure.
• Human review. Flagged and reported links go to a moderation queue where a person reviews them. Confirmed violations are disabled, and repeat or serious offenders are banned with all of their links blocked.
• A Report button on every public page. Anyone can flag a link for review, no account needed.
• A file-type allowlist with magic-byte checks. Only supported formats are accepted, verified against the file's real bytes. Executables and scripts are rejected.
• Sandboxed HTML. Uploaded HTML renders only inside an isolated sandbox so it cannot access your session or other pages.

If you find content that breaks these rules, use the Report button on the link's page, or use our report a link form, or email support@linkinseconds.com with the link. Reports about intimate or impersonation content, and formal grievances, are handled on the timelines set out on our Grievance Redressal page. To report suspected child sexual abuse material, see our Child Safety Policy.

We may remove or disable access to any content, and suspend or terminate any account, that violates this policy or the law. We do this on our own assessment, or on receipt of a court order or a notification by an appropriate Government or its authorised agency, in exercise of our rights under Rule 3(1)(c) and Rule 3(1)(d) of the IT (Intermediary Guidelines) Rules, 2021.

On receipt of a court order, or a notification by an appropriate Government or its authorised agency, that any content is unlawful, we will remove or disable access to that content as early as possible and in any event within thirty-six (36) hours. Where the law requires it, we report violations to the relevant authorities and rights holders, cooperate with lawful requests from law enforcement, and preserve the content and associated records as evidence. For serious offences such as child sexual abuse material, we report to Indian authorities including the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal at cybercrime.gov.in, as detailed in our Child Safety Policy.

If we act on your content or account and you believe we got it wrong, you may raise the matter with our Grievance Officer, whose name, contact details, and response timelines are published on our Grievance Redressal page. If you remain dissatisfied with the outcome, you may appeal to the Grievance Appellate Committee under Rule 3A of the IT (Intermediary Guidelines) Rules, 2021.
