Bitly Acceptable Use Policy: Safeguarding Trust and Safety Online

Empowering Connections Responsibly

Bitly, as a leading platform, strives to foster connections and enables individuals, brands, and businesses to interact with their audiences at scale. Central to this mission is upholding the right to free expression while ensuring the trust and safety of our platform and community. Bitly prohibits the distribution of harmful, false, or misleading content or any attempts to manipulate the services for such purposes. Violations of this policy, as outlined in our Terms of Service, can lead to restrictions on platform usage, content removal, or account suspension. Such misconduct not only violates our policies but may also entail legal consequences, including civil and criminal penalties.

Comprehensive Acceptable Use Standards

By accessing or utilizing Bitly's services, users are bound by the Acceptable Use Policy, the Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, and DMCA Copyright Policy. Users must adhere to these guidelines, with any breaches leading to potential restriction of service access. Attempts to evade access restrictions via creating additional accounts or identities are strictly forbidden and may result in permanent account disablement and flagging for enforcement actions.

Prohibited Content and Behaviors

Bitly strictly prohibits the distribution of abusive, dangerous, or illegal content through its services. Users are forbidden from sharing content that attacks individuals or groups based on various criteria, exploits children, spreads misinformation, incites violence, or glorifies self-harm or terrorism. Additionally, engaging in abusive, dangerous, or illicit activities on the platform, such as distributing malware, phishing attempts, or sharing private information without consent, is not tolerated. Bitly maintains a zero-tolerance stance towards behaviors that threaten the safety and well-being of its community.

Reporting Violations and Ensuring Compliance

Users are encouraged to report any suspected misuse or violations of the Acceptable Use Policy to Bitly for thorough investigation. The platform undertakes appropriate actions against violators, including the termination of accounts if necessary. Should users believe that Bitly has erroneously flagged their activities, they have the recourse to appeal and request a review of their case. Bitly upholds strict enforcement measures to safeguard user experience and community safety, even if specific behaviors are not explicitly outlined in the Acceptable Use Policy.

Upholding User Experience and Safety

Bitly remains committed to preserving a positive user experience and community safety, reflecting the essence of its Acceptable Use Policy. The platform retains the authority to suspend or terminate accounts or remove content deemed detrimental to user experience or community well-being. While the Acceptable Use Policy provides a framework, Bitly retains the flexibility to address content that adversely affects user satisfaction or safety, regardless of explicit policy provisions.
