Acceptable Use Policy
Last updated:
Dotpane makes API calls for you, from our servers, with your keys. These rules keep that safe for you, for us and for the services you call.
What Dotpane is for
Dotpane is for your own panes on your own canvases. Its API calls go only to the hosts your panes list, with keys you are entitled to use.
What you may not do
You may not use Dotpane to:
- Run a general-purpose proxy, VPN or anonymiser, or hide where traffic comes from.
- Scrape or bulk-download a site or API in a way its owner does not allow.
- Get around another service’s rate limits, access controls or terms.
- Scan, probe or attack any system, or send spam.
- Use API keys or accounts that are not yours to use.
- Store, relay or display content that is illegal or that infringes someone else’s rights.
- Share your account, or resell access to Dotpane.
- Break out of the pane sandbox, get around our limits or disrupt the service for others.
Limits we enforce
Every account has limits on API calls a minute and a month, on response size and on how long a call may take. Calls to private or internal addresses are always refused.
Security research
If you find a weakness, report it to security@dotpane.com. Testing against your own account is welcome. Testing against other people’s accounts or data is not.
If these rules are broken
We may block a call, remove a pane, or suspend or close an account. Where we can, we will tell you first and give you a chance to fix the problem.
Reporting misuse
If you believe someone is misusing Dotpane, email support@dotpane.com with what you saw.
