Uniform Terms of Service

Terms for using Uniform's private-by-design organizing tools

These Terms govern access to Uniform's web and mobile services, including encrypted organizing spaces, messaging, feeds, media workflows, and union-card related features. They are written for the current Zero Knowledge product, not the legacy platform.

Worker accounts remain pseudonymous and privacy-focused. Organizer accounts are a separate public-facing account type on the web dashboard and are subject to different disclosure expectations around identity, affiliation, and profile visibility.

Acceptance

1. By using Uniform, you agree to these Terms

By accessing or using Uniform, you agree to these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the service.

Uniform has zero tolerance for objectionable content, harassment, abusive behavior, sexual exploitation, or illegal activity. Users who engage in that conduct may have content restricted, accounts suspended, or access removed.

If you use Uniform on behalf of a union, worker committee, or other organization, you represent that you have authority to do so and to bind that organization to these Terms.

The Service

2. Uniform provides encrypted worker-organizing infrastructure

Uniform is a platform for worker-to-worker coordination. The active product includes pseudonymous organizing spaces, encrypted posts and comments, encrypted direct messaging, encrypted media flows, reporting and moderation tooling, and a union-card workflow where signed card data stays on the user's device and the server stores only anonymous receipt artifacts.

The service also includes a verified organizer lane on the web. Organizer profiles, resources, and bulletin updates may be public-facing, and organizers can only join a worker space after worker sponsorship inside the product.

The service may also include access controls tied to payment or union partnership status, device-key session authentication, support channels, and additional safety or privacy controls described on our Technical Information page.

We may update, improve, suspend, or remove features at any time. Availability may vary by platform, jurisdiction, billing state, client version, or security requirements.

Accounts and Recovery

3. You are responsible for your device keys and recovery materials

Handles and device identity

Uniform accounts are built around a pseudonymous handle and device-generated encryption and signing keys. The current web experience does not rely on traditional credential login for account restoration.

Recovery phrase obligations

Your recovery phrase or recovery kit is the primary way to restore access on a new device. You are responsible for storing it securely. If you lose your device and recovery materials, Uniform may be unable to restore your account.

  • Uniform is only for users who are at least 16 years old. Misrepresenting your age or creating an underage account is a violation of these Terms.
  • You are responsible for activity that occurs through your account, devices, or exported recovery materials.
  • You must keep your device, browser storage, and recovery phrase reasonably secure.
  • You must use current clients when security requirements change, including encryption-related upgrade gates.
  • Accounts ages 16-17 may have additional safety protections or feature restrictions, including disabled direct messaging.

Privacy and Anonymity

4. Uniform is designed to reduce linkability, not to guarantee absolute anonymity

Uniform is built so that, from Uniform-controlled active app-runtime records alone, we are not holding the usual direct identity fields that would normally expose a worker, such as real name, personal email, phone number, or payment processor identifiers in the main social database.

Your practical anonymity still depends heavily on your own choices and on systems outside Uniform. If you reveal identifying details in your content, timing, relationships, devices, or payment method, your anonymity can be reduced even if Uniform itself is designed to hold less identifying data.

For the strongest payment-side anonymity, use a non-identifying crypto wallet or payment alias rather than a card or app-store account. Even then, no platform or payment method can guarantee total anonymity in every circumstance. For a plain-language and technical explanation of the current model, review our Privacy Policy and Technical Information.

No guarantee of absolute anonymity

Because anonymity depends in part on what you choose to reveal and on records kept by systems outside Uniform, your identity may still become known through your own content, timing, relationships, device or network compromise, legal process, other users, payment-provider records, or other facts outside Uniform's direct control. You use the service with that understanding.

  • Do not assume that pseudonymity equals legal immunity.
  • Do not include personal details in content if secrecy matters.
  • Understand that third-party app stores or payment providers may keep their own records outside Uniform.

Acceptable Use

5. You may not use Uniform for abuse, evasion, or unlawful activity

  • Break the law or encourage others to do so.
  • Harass, threaten, stalk, exploit, or impersonate others.
  • Post, promote, request, or facilitate objectionable content, graphic violence, sexual exploitation, hate, or targeted abuse.
  • Groom, solicit, sexualize, exploit, or attempt to move a minor into private or off-platform contact.
  • Publish doxxing material, intimate content without consent, or other sensitive personal information about someone else.
  • Attempt to bypass encryption controls, access restrictions, moderation actions, or client upgrade requirements.
  • Reverse engineer, scrape, overload, probe, or interfere with the service in ways that harm users or infrastructure.
  • Use Uniform to distribute malware, fraud, spam, or deceptive campaigns.
  • Upload, request, promote, or facilitate sexual content involving minors or any other child-exploitation material.

Billing and Access

6. Some accounts require active entitlements or third-party payment flows

Some organizing spaces are made available through union partnerships. Other access paths may require an active paid entitlement, membership pass, or third-party payment flow.

If you purchase or renew access through Apple, Google, Stripe, a crypto payment provider, or another third party, that provider's terms and privacy practices also apply.

  • Invalid, expired, canceled, or missing entitlement state can limit access or session issuance.
  • We may change access structure or service terms by updating the service pages or in-product notices.
  • Provider-side disputes, taxes, refunds, and billing identity rules may also be controlled by the applicable third party.

Moderation and Enforcement

7. We may act on reports, safety issues, and legal obligations

Reports and account actions

Uniform may review reports, appeals, block relationships, and safety metadata to suppress content, limit reach, suspend accounts, or remove access when needed to protect users or the service. Users can use in-app reporting and blocking tools to help prevent objectionable content and abusive behavior.

Cooperation with legal process

We may preserve or disclose available records when required by law or when reasonably necessary to investigate abuse, enforce these Terms, or protect people, rights, and systems.

Content and Intellectual Property

8. You keep ownership of your content, but you give us the rights needed to operate the service

As between you and Uniform, you retain ownership of content you submit. That includes organizing content you encrypt and any union-card information that remains on your device.

You grant Uniform a limited, non-exclusive license to host, store, transmit, secure, display to authorized recipients, and otherwise process your content and related metadata as needed to run, protect, and improve the service.

Uniform and its licensors own the software, branding, design, and service materials we provide. These Terms do not transfer ownership of that material to you.

Disclaimers and Liability

9. Uniform is provided as-is, with important privacy and availability limits

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We do not guarantee uninterrupted availability, perfect security, successful delivery of every notification, or absolute anonymity.

Except where prohibited by law, Uniform will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenues, goodwill, data, or business opportunities arising out of or related to your use of the service.

You are responsible for your own organizing decisions, communications, legal compliance, operational security, and disclosure choices. Uniform is not legal advice, labor strategy advice, or a guarantee of any organizing outcome.

Dispute Resolution

10. Disputes are governed by Texas law and the arbitration terms below

Governing law

These Terms and any dispute arising out of or related to the service shall be governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to conflict-of-law rules.

Binding arbitration

Any dispute arising from these Terms or your use of Uniform shall be resolved through binding arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitration shall take place in Dallas County, Texas, unless the parties agree otherwise.

Class action waiver

You and Uniform agree to bring claims only in an individual capacity, not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, consolidated, or representative proceeding. Unless both sides agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate claims or preside over any form of class proceeding.

Either party may bring an individual action in small claims court for disputes that qualify for that court.

Changes and Contact

11. We may update these Terms by posting a revised version here

We may update these Terms from time to time to reflect changes to the service, legal requirements, or safety and privacy controls. We will post the revised Terms on this page and update the date above.

Your continued use of Uniform after an update takes effect means you accept the revised Terms.

Questions about these Terms can be sent to support@getuniform.app. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and Uniform regarding the service.
