Circulure will consider the reliability, severity, recency and relevance of available information before taking action.

Circulure may use automated tools, human review, User reports, trusted flaggers, behavioural signals and other proportionate methods to identify potential breaches.

Where permitted by law, Circulure may:

• review Content;

The fact that Content has not been removed does not mean Circulure endorses, approves or has verified it.

When deciding how to respond to a possible breach, Circulure may consider:

• the nature and seriousness of the conduct;
• whether harm occurred or was likely;
• whether a child or vulnerable person was involved;

• the reach and audience of the Content;
• whether the conduct occurred in public or private;
• whether the User attempted to conceal the breach;
• the User’s previous enforcement history;
• whether the User cooperated with safety measures;
• the reliability of available evidence;
• the risk of further harm;
• legal and regulatory obligations; and
• whether immediate action is necessary.

Circulure is not required to apply identical outcomes to matters that appear similar where relevant circumstances differ.

Circulure may impose an immediate temporary restriction while a matter is assessed where we reasonably believe this is necessary to:

• protect a person from imminent or serious harm;
• prevent destruction of evidence;
• address suspected child exploitation;
• stop unauthorised system access;
• prevent fraud or financial loss;
• comply with a legal obligation;
• respond to an emergency;
• investigate a serious or repeated breach; or
• protect the security and integrity of the Platform.

An immediate restriction is not necessarily a final finding that a breach occurred.

Circulure may report information to law-enforcement agencies, regulators, emergency services, child-protection bodies or other appropriate authorities where:

• required by law;
• responding to a lawful request, warrant, notice, subpoena or court order;
• reasonably necessary to address a serious or imminent threat;
• child exploitation or abuse is suspected;
• terrorist or violent extremist activity is suspected;
• serious fraud or cybercrime is suspected;
• an offence may have occurred;
• a missing-person or welfare concern arises; or
• disclosure is otherwise permitted under Circulure’s Privacy Policy and Applicable Law.

Circulure may preserve information where reasonably necessary for an investigation, legal process, safety response or enforcement action.

You can report suspected breaches using:

• the in-product Report function;
• the Circulure Safety Centre;
• info@megerskill.com; or
• another reporting method made available by Circulure.

When making a report, provide as much relevant information as reasonably possible, including:

• the relevant profile, post, message, group or event;
• what occurred;
• when it occurred;
• whether anyone is in immediate danger;
• screenshots or other evidence, where lawful to provide;
• whether the conduct has been reported to authorities; and
• any other information that may assist Circulure.

Do not place yourself at risk to obtain evidence.

For immediate danger, contact the appropriate emergency service directly. Circulure is not an emergency service and may not review reports immediately.

Circulure may provide blocking, muting, privacy, visibility and communication controls.

You should use these tools where appropriate, but their availability does not prevent you from reporting serious conduct.

You must not attempt to contact a person who has blocked you by:

• creating another account;
• contacting them through another User;
• adding them to a group;
• attending an activity for the purpose of confronting them;
• using another service to continue Platform-related harassment; or
• publishing messages intended to pressure them into re-establishing contact.

Where Circulure provides an appeal process, you may appeal an eligible enforcement decision within the stated period.

An appeal must:

• be submitted honestly;
• identify the decision being challenged;
• explain why you believe the decision was incorrect or disproportionate;
• provide relevant new information where available; and
• avoid threats, harassment or fabricated evidence.

Circulure may decline to consider duplicate, abusive, fraudulent or out-of-time appeals except where required by law.

An appeal does not automatically suspend an enforcement decision.

You must cooperate honestly with reasonable Circulure investigations relating to safety, fraud, security or legal compliance.

You must not:

• destroy or alter relevant evidence;
• intimidate reporters or witnesses;
• submit fabricated records;
• encourage others to provide false information;
• interfere with Circulure’s investigation;
• pose as an investigator or moderator;
• access another person’s account to obtain evidence; or
• publish confidential investigation information in a way that creates a material safety risk.

Nothing in this section requires you to waive a legal right or privilege.

Circulure establishes rules, safety tools and moderation processes, but cannot guarantee:

• the identity of every User;
• the accuracy of all User-provided information;
• that every User will comply with this Policy;
• that every gathering or activity will be safe;
• that prohibited Content will always be detected before it is viewed;
• that another User has particular qualifications, insurance or intentions; or
• that every report will result in the outcome requested by the reporting person.

Users should exercise reasonable judgment when communicating, sharing information, making payments or attending real-world activities.

This Policy should be read together with Circulure’s:

• Terms of Service;
• Privacy Policy;
• Content Policy;
• Cookie Policy;
• Safety Standards;
• Community Guidelines;
• event or organiser terms;
• payment and refund terms; and
• any feature-specific rules.

Where another Circulure policy imposes a more specific or protective requirement, that requirement may also apply.

Circulure may amend this Policy to reflect:

• changes to the Platform;
• new safety risks;
• changes in law or regulatory guidance;
• changes to Circulure’s moderation practices;
• new features or services; or
• operational, technical or security requirements.

Where required by law or reasonably appropriate, Circulure will provide notice of material changes.

The updated Policy will state its effective date. Continued use of the Platform after an updated Policy takes effect constitutes acceptance to the extent permitted by law.

If any provision of this Policy is found to be unlawful, invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be read down to the minimum extent necessary or severed, and the remaining provisions will continue to operate.

If Circulure does not enforce a provision of this Policy in a particular case, that does not waive our right to enforce that provision in another case.

This Policy is governed by the laws of New South Wales, Australia, and applicable Commonwealth laws of Australia.

Subject to any rights that cannot lawfully be excluded, you submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of New South Wales and courts entitled to hear appeals from those courts.

Nothing in this Policy excludes, restricts or modifies any right, remedy, guarantee or protection that cannot lawfully be excluded, restricted or modified.
