15. Upload Scanning, Automated Detection & Content Safety
To maintain a safe, secure, and abuse-free platform, we use real-time automated scanning systems to analyze all content uploaded to the Service. These systems help detect and block malicious, harmful, or policy-violating material.
15.1 Automated Content Scanning
When you upload files, our systems may automatically scan them for:
- Malware, viruses, and harmful code
- Spam or automated bot uploads
- Inappropriate or prohibited content
- Content that violates our Terms or community guidelines
- Known illegal materials, including hashes of prohibited files
These scans occur in real time and may happen before the file is publicly accessible.
15.2 How Scanning Works
Our detection systems may use:
- File signature checks
- Hash-matching databases
- AI or machine-learning classifiers
- Image recognition tools
- Metadata inspection
- Behavioral and upload-pattern analysis
This helps ensure that unsafe content is blocked before it can be viewed or shared.
15.3 Manual Review (When Necessary)
If an upload is flagged by our system, it may be:
Automatically blocked, or
Sent for manual review by our moderation team
Manual reviews are limited to situations where automated systems cannot make a clear determination.
15.4 User Privacy & Scanning
Scanning is performed solely for safety, security, and compliance purposes.
We do not use upload-scan data for:

Content may be retained or logged when:

- Required by law or reporting obligations
15.5 Reporting Illegal Content
If prohibited or illegal content is detected, we may:

Positive results for CSAM are automatically reported to authorities through a third-party partner.
