Acceptable use policy

Version 2. Last updated 3 November 2026.

Summary

• Use Doodle board for lawful work and play. Do not use it to hurt people or break the law.
• You are responsible for what is on your boards and for who you share them with.
• Anyone can report a board. A trained reviewer decides whether to remove it.
• We can remove a board or close an account that breaks this policy. We tell the account holder why, unless the law stops us.

What this policy covers

This policy applies to everyone who uses Doodle board: account holders, team members, and guests who open a shared board. It is part of the terms of use.

Do not put these on a board or share them

• Anything illegal in the UK, including child sexual abuse material, terrorist content, and material that incites violence or hatred.
• Threats, harassment, bullying or content that targets a person or a group because of who they are.
• Scams and fraud, including phishing, fake invoices and attempts to get passwords or payment details.
• Malware, or links meant to harm a device or steal data.
• Other people’s personal data that you have no good reason to hold, including private information shared to expose or harass someone.
• Content that infringes someone else’s copyright, trade marks or other rights.
• Sexually explicit content involving real people who have not agreed to it.

Do not misuse the service

• Do not try to get into another account or board, or to find or bypass how the service is protected.
• Do not guess board passwords or share links in ways meant to avoid the limits on password attempts.
• Do not send automated or excessive requests that slow the service for other people, or create accounts in bulk.
• Do not resell or sublet Doodle board, or use one seat for several people.
• Do not use Doodle board to send spam.

Reporting a board

Anyone with a link to a board can use Report this board on it. You can say why you are reporting it, add a note and, if you wish, an email address so we can ask a question. We do not tell the board owner who reported it.

What we do

• A trained reviewer looks at each report and decides whether to remove the board, restore it or leave it as it is. Reports and decisions are kept for 12 months and then deleted.
• If a board is removed, nobody can open it. We tell the account holder, and they can reply to our support address if they disagree. We will look again.
• If an account breaks this policy again and again, or does something serious, we can close it.
• Where the law requires, we pass information to the police or to another authority.
