Notice
Global Application
This notice applies globally. 6ix reserves the right to enforce these standards in any country where our products are used, in addition to local law.
Notice
Plain-Language Summary
This is a product-focused legal notice for safety and compliance awareness. It is not legal advice. For binding law, refer to applicable statutes and consult counsel.
This page outlines how 6ix addresses cybercrime-related behavior on our platform. While it references themes found in Nigeria’s Cybercrimes (Prohibition, Prevention, etc.) Act, 6ix applies comparable safety standards globally. We may take action on conduct that violates law or our rules in any country where 6ix is accessed. Read alongside our Community Guidelines, Terms of Use, Privacy Policy, Cookies Policy, Safety & Minors, Ads Policy, and Copyright/DMCA.
1) Global Scope & Enforcement Principles
Back to topLegality + Policy
6ix evaluates both applicable law and our own rules. Conduct can be restricted on 6ix even if it does not meet a criminal threshold in your jurisdiction, and we may act where content or behavior creates material risk to users, infrastructure, or the public.
Necessity & Proportionality
Our actions are tailored to risk and context. We balance safety, user rights, and product integrity to select the least intrusive effective measure—ranging from labels to removals to account restrictions.
User Notice (Where Lawful & Safe)
Where permitted by law and not likely to cause harm, we notify users of significant enforcement and provide avenues for appeal or review. See Enforcement & appeals.
Privacy by Design
Safety work is constrained by privacy principles and our Privacy Policy (data minimization, access controls, logging, and need-to-know).
2) Monitoring, Detection & Anti-Abuse
Back to top6ix deploys layered controls to identify and mitigate cybercrime-adjacent risks while respecting privacy:
Signals & Heuristics
We use behavioral and systems signals (suspicious session patterns, credential-stuffing signatures, repeated failed logins, abnormal DM invite bursts, device fingerprint anomalies) to detect abuse early.
Rate Limits & Friction
Progressive rate limits, proof-of-work challenges, cool-downs, and risk-based verification reduce automated attacks (spam bursts, brute forcing, mass scraping).
Integrity Lists
Known-bad indicators (compromised tokens, disposable domains used for abuse, previously flagged hashes) may be used to block or downrank activity.
Media & Metadata Checks
Where appropriate, we apply hashing/fingerprinting for known illegal material, and metadata checks for obvious anomalies (e.g., spoofed mime types used in malware delivery).
Human-in-the-Loop
Trained reviewers handle escalations and edge cases to avoid over-blocking and to calibrate automation.
Abuse Research
We continuously test adversarial behaviors (spam kits, replay attacks, social engineering patterns) to strengthen defenses and update rules.
Notice
Security Research & Responsible Disclosure
Security researchers can responsibly disclose vulnerabilities to security@6ixapp.com. Do not exploit or access user data; provide clear reproduction steps. We’ll acknowledge valid reports and prioritize fixes.

Use Tools Proactively
Enable slow mode, invite approvals, keyword filters, and restricted DMs where appropriate. Remove repeat violators and escalate severe cases.
Escalate When Needed
Report child-safety issues, credible threats, doxxing, exploit attempts, and scams immediately via in-app reporting and email when necessary (safety@6ixapp.com).
Accountability
Repeated failure to moderate obvious violations in your space may lead to feature limits or account actions. See Enforcement & appeals.

Session Hygiene
Review active sessions; revoke unknown devices. Beware of “support” impostors requesting codes.
Device Security
Keep OS and apps updated; enable disk encryption; install from official stores; run reputable AV where appropriate.
Phishing & Social Engineering
Verify URLs; be skeptical of urgent payment/crypto requests. 6ix staff will not ask for passwords or 2FA codes. Report suspicious emails or messages.
6) Incident Response & Evidence Handling
Back to topIntake & Triage
We prioritize imminent harm, child safety, and account compromise. We capture minimal data needed for remediation consistent with our Privacy Policy.
Containment & Remediation
Actions may include session invalidation, password resets, temporary locks, content restrictions, or rollback of malicious changes.

Verification (KYC/AML)
Payouts require identity verification. We may request additional information based on risk. See Verification.
Advertising Integrity
Creator brand deals must follow disclosure rules and category restrictions. See Ads Policy.

Back to topConsent Requirements
Recording and replays are optional. If enabled, use visible indicators and follow local consent laws for all participants’ locations. See Streaming, Calls & Recording.

Use moderation tools (filters, slow mode, follower-only chat) and remove abusive users promptly. Avoid streaming illegal acts or dangerous challenges.
Minors
Zero tolerance for exploitation. Follow Safety & Minors. Limit location exposure and sensitive identifiers in streams.
Post-Event Handling
If a violation occurs, remove the content, preserve necessary evidence, and file a report. Consider disabling replays until the issue is addressed.
9) Reporting & Cooperation with Authorities
Back to topIn-App Reporting
Use the report button on content or profiles. Provide links, timestamps, and context. This speeds up review and accurate routing.
Emergency Situations
For imminent danger to life or serious physical harm, contact local authorities first, then notify us.

We respond to valid legal process and may preserve data briefly pending process, consistent with Law Enforcement Guidelines.
User Notice
Where lawful and safe, we notify users of requests or actions that affect them, and we may provide time for legal remedies.
10) Regional Notes & Global Application
Back to topNigeria Reference
The offense categories above map to frequently cited sections of Nigeria’s Cybercrimes Act for user awareness. Actual legal outcomes depend on courts and facts.
Other Jurisdictions
Similar conduct (unauthorized access, data tampering, unlawful recording, incitement, fraud) is generally restricted elsewhere. If your local law is stricter, you must follow it.
Strictest Standard Wins
For cross-border rooms/calls, follow the strictest applicable consent and safety standard among the participants’ locations.
11) FAQ (Plain Language)
Back to topDoes 6ix record my conversations by default?
No. Recording is off by default and is an optional host feature. If enabled, we show in-product indicators. Follow consent laws in all relevant locations.
Can I post leaked passwords if they’re already public elsewhere?
No. Credentials, tokens, and exploit paths intended for harm are prohibited on 6ix.
What if I’m doxxed on 6ix?
Report in-app and email safety@6ixapp.com with links and screenshots. We remove and act on violations.
Are admins responsible for everything users post in their rooms?
Admins must enforce rules and remove clear violations. Repeated failure can result in admin tool limits or account action.
Do you share data with authorities?
Only in response to valid legal process or emergencies, consistent with Law Enforcement Guidelines and Privacy Policy.
