# Report abuse

> Report a site or project on Playcode that hosts phishing, scams, malware, spam or other abuse - where to send it and what to include.

Report a site or project on Playcode that breaks the [Terms of Service](/terms#section-10): phishing, scams, malware, spam, harassment, or someone else's work used without permission. Send the site's address and what is wrong to the Playcode team, through the support page or by email.

A site published on the Free plan shows a banner with **Report this site**. That link opens this page.

## Do it yourself

1. Copy the address of the site or project. A static site ends in `playcode.site`, a Cloud app in `playcode.run`, and a site can also use its own domain.
2. Open [playcode.io/help](/help). You do not need a Playcode account.
3. Fill in the form: put the address in **Project**, write "Report abuse" under **What were you trying to do?**, and describe what the site does under **What happened?**.
4. Choose **Send to support**, then send the message in the chat that opens. If the chat does not open, email the same text to support@playcode.io.

In the app, the menu under your workspace's name has **Help**, then **Report Abuse**. It opens the chat with a sentence ready to finish.

Include:

- The full address of the site or project.
- What is wrong, and where on the site you saw it.
- Screenshots or links that show it, and when you saw it.

### Copyright

For a copyright complaint, follow section 11 of the [Terms of Service](/terms#section-11): email ruslan@playcode.io with the copyrighted work, the content that infringes it, your contact information, a statement of good-faith belief, and a statement under penalty of perjury that the information is accurate.

### A security problem in Playcode itself

Report a vulnerability privately to security@playcode.io, as section 24 of the [Terms of Service](/terms#section-24) asks. Playcode runs no bug bounty.

## If it doesn't work

### "The chat did not open"

A browser extension that blocks ads can block the chat. Email your report to support@playcode.io instead.

### You closed the site before you copied its address

**Report this site** opens this page in a new tab, so the site stays open in the tab you came from. Copy the address there.

## Limits

- Playcode decides what to do under its Terms. A violation can lead to the suspension or termination of the account that published the content.
- When Playcode suspends an account, its static sites stop serving.
- No response time is promised for a report.
