Security

How Blacklist protects your account and what it will never ask for.

Draft pending legal review

This page describes the product commitments Blacklist is built on. It is not a legal document yet: qualified legal review must be completed before Blacklist launches publicly.

What Blacklist never asks for

  • Seed phrases, recovery phrases or private keys.
  • Transaction signatures, token approvals or typed-data signatures. Appeals that use a wallet ask you to sign a plain one-time message that authorizes nothing.
  • Custody of your funds. Blacklist never holds or moves assets.

Your account

  • An account is created only after you prove you control the email address.
  • You can see your active sessions and sign out of other devices from the security settings.
  • Sensitive changes ask for your password again; security emails tell you what changed.

Staff accounts

  • Staff powers need a security key or passkey (WebAuthn). Consequential decisions ask for it again for that specific action.
  • Severe findings need a second, independent reviewer, and appeals are reviewed by someone who did not take part in the original decision.
  • Staff actions are recorded in an append-only audit history.

Links and files

  • Blacklist never opens links that people submit. They are shown as inert text.
  • Uploaded images are kept in isolation and re-encoded before staff view them.

Reporting a vulnerability

  • A disclosure contact and process will be published before launch. Until then, do not test against systems you do not own.
