Terms of Use

By creating an identity on zapself you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the service.

1. What zapself is

  • zapself is an experimental, anonymous social network. Identities are deleted 24 hours after they are created. Posts are deleted after 24 hours unless their author marks them as immortal.
  • The service is provided as is, free of charge, without any guarantee of availability, and may change or shut down at any time.

2. What you must not post

  • Content that is illegal where you are or where the service is operated.
  • Any sexual content involving minors. Such content is reported to the competent authorities.
  • Harassment, threats, doxxing (publishing private information about others) or incitement to violence or hatred.
  • Spam, scams, malware or automated mass posting.
  • Content that infringes copyright or other rights of third parties.

3. Moderation

  • Any visitor can report a post. Posts reported by several people are hidden until a moderator reviews them.
  • Moderators may remove any content, including immortal posts and burn-on-read secrets, and may suspend access, at their sole discretion and without notice.
  • To enforce suspensions, a one-way hash of the IP address used to register is stored for as long as the identity exists or a ban lasts. The address itself is not stored.

4. Your content

  • You are solely responsible for what you post. You keep any rights you have over it, and grant zapself the permission needed to store and display it while it exists on the service.
  • Immortal posts stay public after your identity expires and can no longer be edited or deleted by you.
  • "Burn on Read" and "Link only" posts are harder to find, not encrypted: anyone with the link can open them while they exist.

5. Privacy

  • zapself does not ask for your name, email or phone number. It uses cookies to keep your session and remember your reactions, and Google Analytics to measure usage.
  • You can download everything you posted from your profile before your identity expires.
