Responsible Use Policy

Our Commitment

Rikon is designed for defensive security intelligence — to help you understand and protect your digital footprint. We are committed to ethical open-source intelligence (OSINT) practices.

Permitted Use

• Assessing the security posture of your own digital assets
• Discovering data breaches affecting your accounts
• Identifying vulnerabilities in your domain to fix them
• Security auditing for your organization with proper authorization

Prohibited Use

• Scanning assets you do not own or have permission to scan
• Using results to harass, stalk, or blackmail others
• Attempting to exploit discovered vulnerabilities in others' systems
• Circumventing the ownership verification mechanism
• Automated or bulk scanning without authorization

Ownership Safeguards

Every scan requires ownership proof: an OTP verification code for email, or a DNS TXT record for domains. This prevents anyone from scanning assets they don't own.

Reporting Abuse

If you believe someone is misusing Rikon, report it to [email protected]. We investigate all reports and take appropriate action.
