RakshakAcceptable use
Self-reviewed · last updated 2026-10-09. Written by us from what the app actually does; not reviewed by a lawyer.
SOS is free for everyone, and free must not mean exploitable. This policy, part of the terms of use, says what you must not do with the app.
Do not
- Use SOS to harass, frighten or spam people, send false alarms on purpose, or add people to your SOS list who have not agreed to it.
- Use SOS, the messages app or any other feature to send bulk, commercial or unsolicited messages.
- Create fake identities, automate the app with bots, or create several accounts or devices to get more free trials or credits (once accounts exist).
- Make pictures of real people without their permission, or of public figures; or sexual, violent, humiliating or deceptive content. The app refuses such requests before anything is sent, and the AI provider's safety filters stay on.
- Use AI features to deceive, defraud, impersonate someone, or break the AI provider's own rules.
- Break the law, including laws on privacy, harassment, obscenity, fraud and intellectual property.
- Get around the app's limits or safety checks, interfere with its signatures, or attack any service it uses.
How abuse is prevented
Limits apply only to the paths that cost money or can reach strangers. Your phone's own SMS to your SOS contacts is never blocked, so a real emergency always gets out.
| Abuse | What the app does |
|---|---|
| SOS used as free SMS | SOS messages go only to people on your SOS list; when our service sends texts, they will be fixed templates (name, link, battery, time) to at most 10 SOS contacts |
| Harassment by fake SOS | A paired contact can unpair at any time, which stops alarms on their phone; once the cloud service exists, contacts can also reply STOP, tap "Don't alert me from this person" or "Report abuse" |
| Test spam | Test runs are marked TEST and never call 112; the cloud service will limit them (for example 3 a day) |
| Faked or replayed alarms | Alarms between paired phones are signed with the pair's secret; forged, edited or replayed texts are ignored |
| Fake accounts and trial farming | Once accounts exist: one account per verified phone number, device checks, one trial per number and device, credits not transferable |
| Abusive AI content | Refused on the phone before sending; provider safety filters stay on |
What happens if you break this policy
We may limit or end your access to the cloud service and paid features (for example server texts after reports are reviewed). We do not block your phone's own SOS messages. Where the law requires it, we report illegal activity to the authorities.
