What happens after a report is submitted?
We do not promise a specific outcome before review is complete. Each report is processed using the available information and applicable policies.

Content is assessed using context, potential risk, the Terms of Service, and applicable legal obligations.
Proportionate action
The result may include link or account restrictions, a request for more information, or no action when a violation cannot be confirmed.

Privacy PolicyQuestions about link safety and reporting
Clear answers about the limits of protection, how reports are reviewed, and what action may follow.
Is every s.id link guaranteed to be safe?
No service can guarantee that every link is always safe. s.id applies safeguards, provides a reporting channel, and reviews reports to help reduce abuse. Check a link's destination and avoid entering sensitive data if a page looks suspicious.
How does s.id review abuse reports?
Reports are assessed using the link, issue category, supporting evidence, context, and applicable policies. The result may include restrictions, a request for more information, or no action when a violation cannot be confirmed.
How long does a report review take?
There is no single completion time for every report. Timing depends on information completeness, risk level, report volume, and whether additional verification is required.
What if my link was restricted by mistake?
Account owners can contact Helpdesk with their account information, the affected link, and the reason for requesting another review. The team will assess the additional information provided.
