Report abuse

Last updated Oct 5, 2026

If an app hosted on DeployYourCode is being used for phishing, malware, fraud, copyright infringement, harassment or anything else our terms forbid, tell us here. You can also email abuse@deployyourcode.com.

A security hole in DeployYourCode itself is not abuse: follow our disclosure policy instead.

What happens next

A person reviews every report, starting with child sexual abuse material, phishing and malware. If an app breaks our terms we can stop it or take it offline, and we tell its owner why and how to appeal — unless telling them could destroy evidence the law requires us to keep.

We do not tell an app's owner who reported it, except for a copyright notice, which we may pass on in full so that its owner can respond. We do not send a confirmation or a result; if you gave an address, we write only to ask about your report.

Child sexual abuse material

Do not send us the material, and do not copy or share it. Report the address with the form, and report it to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children at report.cybertip.org — or, outside the United States, to your country's hotline at inhope.org. We take it down and report it to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, as United States law requires.

Copyright notices

This policy is a draft awaiting legal review.

To have material on an app we host taken down for infringing your copyright, email abuse@deployyourcode.com with:

the work you say is being infringed;
the address of the material on the app, precise enough for us to find it;
your name, postal address, telephone number and email address;
a statement that you believe in good faith that the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent or the law;
a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act for the owner;
your physical or electronic signature.

A notice missing any of these may not let us act. Knowingly misrepresenting that material infringes can make you liable for damages (17 U.S.C. § 512(f)).

Counter-notices

If we remove or disable material because of a notice, we tell the app's owner. If they believe it was a mistake or a misidentification, they can send us a counter-notice with the information 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3) requires. We pass it to the person who sent the notice, and may restore the material after 10 business days unless they tell us they have filed a court action to stop the infringement.
