Terms

Terms of service

Last updated: draft, not yet in effect.

1. Who can use TattleTags

You must be at least 18 and able to form a binding contract. One person per account. You sign in with a one-time code sent to your email each visit.

2. What TattleTags is and isn't

TattleTags is a place to share opinions about driving you personally saw, organized by license plate. It is not affiliated with any DMV, police department or government agency. Posts are user opinions, not verified facts or official records. Don't rely on TattleTags for emergencies: if someone is in danger, call 911.

3. Plates only: no owner lookup

TattleTags does not provide, and you may not request, post or solicit, the identity, address, phone number, workplace or any other personal information of a vehicle's owner or driver.
You may not use TattleTags, or anything you find on it, to locate, contact, follow, confront or harm anyone.
You may not use DMV records or people-search services to connect a plate on TattleTags to a person.

4. Anti-harassment rules

You agree not to post anything that:

Doxxes anyone: names, home or work addresses, phone numbers, emails, social media accounts, photos of faces, or details that identify a specific person.
Threatens, encourages or celebrates violence, vandalism or retaliation against anyone or their vehicle.
Harasses, bullies or targets someone repeatedly, including posting over and over about the same plate to intimidate.
Is hateful, sexual, or discriminatory based on race, ethnicity, religion, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability or national origin.
Is knowingly false. Post only what you personally saw, honestly described. False accusations can be defamatory, and you are responsible for what you post.
Is spam, advertising or impersonation (including pretending to be police or a government agency).

5. Moderation

Anyone can report a post. Posts with several reports are hidden automatically while moderators review. We may remove any content and suspend or delete any account at our discretion, especially for doxxing, threats or repeat harassment. Where the law requires, we will cooperate with law enforcement.

6. Your content

You keep ownership of your posts. You give TattleTags a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, display and distribute them on the service. You can delete your posts or your whole profile at any time.

7. Disclaimers and limits

TattleTags is provided "as is." To the extent the law allows, we aren't liable for user posts or for indirect or consequential damages. [Counsel: add liability cap, indemnity, governing law and venue, arbitration/class-action terms if desired, and DMCA agent details.]

8. Reporting a problem about you

If a post is about your vehicle and breaks these rules, use Report on the post or email [email protected]. We prioritize doxxing and threats.

9. Changes

We may update these terms. If changes are material we'll notify signed-in users before they take effect.
