Acceptable Use Policy

This Acceptable Use Policy ("AUP") supplements the Terms of Service and applies to all use of the 3ngram platform, APIs, MCP server, and website.

Prohibited activities

You may not:

• Attempt to access other users' data or bypass row-level security
• Scrape, crawl, or extract data beyond normal API usage
• Reverse engineer the platform
• Use the service for cryptocurrency mining, DDoS, or other resource abuse
• Create multiple accounts to circumvent restrictions or abuse free trials

Sensitive data

3ngram is designed for work-related memory and accountability. You should not store:

• Health records or protected health information (PHI)

If you need to store sensitive third-party data, you must have informed consent from the data subject and comply with all applicable regulations (GDPR, HIPAA, PCI-DSS).

Rate limits and fair use

API and MCP usage is subject to rate limits. These exist to ensure fair access for all users. Current limits are documented in our API documentation. Systematic attempts to circumvent rate limits may result in account suspension.

Enforcement

Violations of this policy may result in:

• A warning with a request to correct the behavior
• Temporary suspension of your account
• Permanent termination of your account
• Reporting to law enforcement where required

We aim to handle violations proportionally. Where possible, we will notify you before taking action and give you an opportunity to correct the issue.
