# Abuse Policy
> Help us build and maintain a quality search experience.
At Spyda.search, we believe that the Web should be freely searchable without
having to track you or collect data about your searches or behavior. Everyone
should be able to benefit from an open search experience without worrying about
privacy.
That being said there are a basic set of guidelines that help ensure that
search is of the highest quality and safe to use and considered acceptable
by everyone from all backgrounds and walks of live.
Therefore the following outlines the types of content that Spyda will not
permit and if found will be immediately deleted and potenaitlly blacklisted
from future indexing.
**If you have a website or know of a website that has been crawled and indexed
that violates these guidelines, please contact us immediately at /support so
we can remove the offending data.**
- **Hate speech:** Any website found to be hosting content that attacks other people on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, religious affiliation, age, disability, or disease. We will not index websites whose primary purpose is inciting harm towards others on the basis of these categories.
- **Threats of violence:** Any websites found to be treating, planning or otherwise of a treating nature towards others to organize, promote, or incite acts of real-world violence or terrorism.
- **Illegal activities**: Any websites found to be hosting content for unlawful purposes or in furtherance of illegal activities. International webmasters agree to comply with all local laws regarding online conduct and acceptable content.
## What Happens If a Website Violates These Guidelines
- It will be immediately removed from our indexes.
- We _may_ attempt to reach the webmaster to correct the situation.
- We _may_ blacklist the website from future indexing.
Thanks for helping us build and maintain a safe and quality search experience for all!
We reserve the right to update these guidelines as needed.
