Content policy

i. The structural reality

Amor Seal seals your letter in your browser for the paid editions, before anything is transmitted. We never see the plaintext, before or after sealing. We cannot pre-screen content on those editions. This is a deliberate choice; the same property that protects your privacy from us also protects your privacy from anyone who tries to compel us to read it.

ii. What this means for you

Before you click "Seal my letter and pay," you confirm that your letter does not contain any of the following. We hold you to your confirmation, even though we cannot directly verify it for the sealed editions.

• Threats of violence. Explicit, credible threats against any identifiable person.
• Sexual content involving minors. Without exception. There is no fictional or artistic carve-out.
• Doxxing & harassment. Publishing private information of a third party with intent to harm them.
• Non-consensual intimate content. Including descriptions, images, or contact information aimed at facilitating such content.
• Instructions for serious harm. Bomb-making, mass-casualty weaponry, instructions to commit terrorism.
• Trafficking material. Content that facilitates trafficking of persons.
• Stolen IP for profit. Using Amor Seal as the permanent storage layer for pirated copyrighted works at commercial scale.

iii. The Unsent: human moderation before publication

The Unsent is the one edition where we do read every letter, because it is published anonymously in The Anthology. Letters are reviewed by a human within 1 to 3 days. We will reject submissions that:

• Name a private living person, however indirectly.
• Target a specific identifiable individual with harm, threats, or contempt.
• Include identifying details, addresses, phone numbers, or other private information of someone who has not consented.
• Otherwise fall into the categories above.

Authors of The Unsent submit anonymously and remain anonymous on publication. We require an email only to notify you when the letter goes live; that email is not displayed, not reused, and not shared.

iv. What we will do if a violation is reported

If we receive a credible report, typically from law enforcement or from a recipient who has read the letter, we will:

• Cooperate with valid legal process using the order’s safe metadata (sender’s email, payment provider records).
• Cancel the sender’s ability to place future orders.
• Decline to continue operator handling where allowed, using our current refund policy as the baseline.
• For The Unsent specifically, remove the offending letter from The Anthology.

What we cannot do, technically: retract a Bitcoin record on The Heirloom, open a sealed letter on demand, or proactively scan sealed letters in The Echo or The Capsule.

v. Contested takedowns

If you are the subject of a letter that you believe violates this policy, please contact [email protected]. While we cannot remove a Bitcoin record on The Heirloom, we can:

• Refuse to display, host, or assist in retrieving the letter from our infrastructure.
• Remove the corresponding entry in The Anthology when the letter is an Unsent.
• Cooperate with court orders for the disclosure of order metadata.

vi. Good-faith uses we celebrate

We did not build this for grim reasons. The letters we hope live on Bitcoin forever are the ones to a future spouse, a child not yet born, a parent at the end of their life, a future self at a particular date. If you are using Amor Seal for any of these, you have our quiet thanks.
