Terms of Use

1. Website and community

Cyber Shuriken Technologies Corporation operates cybershuriken.com and network.cybershuriken.com. The corporate website presents our capabilities and products and provides a way to make enquiries. The Cyber Shuriken Network is a free community for professional discussion, knowledge sharing and collaboration.

These terms explain the rules for using the websites and participating in the Network. They should be read with the Privacy Policy and the Network’s Community Guidelines. Any separately agreed consulting or project work is governed by its own written scope and agreement.

2. Mature and respectful participation

We ask members to act maturely, respectfully and with good manners. Disagreement is welcome when expressed constructively. Focus on ideas, practical questions and useful contributions rather than personal attacks.

• Treat others courteously. Harassment, threats, hate, discrimination and targeted abuse are not acceptable.
• Respect privacy, confidentiality, intellectual property and the boundaries set by other members.
• Share technical security research responsibly. Use only systems and information you are authorised to access; do not use the community to distribute stolen data, credentials or malicious files.
• Avoid spam, scams, deceptive claims, impersonation and unsolicited promotion. Declare relevant commercial interests when sharing recommendations or offers.
• Follow reasonable moderator instructions and use the report process when there is a concern.

We do not ask for a date of birth or proof of age as part of ordinary registration. Members should be able to understand the public nature of their participation and follow these rules and applicable law.

3. Aliases and account security

You may register and participate using a pseudonym or alias. Your real name is optional, and no phone number is requested for ordinary account registration. Using an alias is acceptable; pretending to be another person or falsely representing an organisation is not.

Use a working email address you control and keep it current. WordPress also needs an account username and password. Complete the email setup or verification steps required by the account process. Where MFA is enabled or required for your account, configure a supported method and protect its setup secret and recovery codes. Authenticator-app MFA does not require a phone number.

Keep your credentials private, sign out on shared devices, and report suspected account misuse to contact@cybershuriken.com. We may restrict an account while investigating a security or moderation concern.

4. Public profiles and content

Profiles and forum discussions are publicly readable. Your public alias, optional profile information and image, signature, posts, replies and uploaded files may be viewed or copied by people outside the Network and indexed by search engines.

Choose what to share carefully. Your account email address is used for account administration and is not automatically a public profile field. Information you put in a public post, profile description, signature or file is public content. A username can also appear in a profile URL.

Publish only information you are entitled to share. Do not post confidential client or employer material, private personal information, passwords, MFA secrets or recovery codes. Optional profile information and any future directory listing are separate from the minimum account requirements.

5. Images, documents and signatures

The Network supports images and PDF attachments using the enabled upload tools. The configured limit is intended to be 10 MB per file and up to three files per upload; the form and hosting limits determine what can actually be accepted. We may change upload limits to protect the service and will show the applicable limits where practical.

Signatures and profile images should be modest in size, relevant and respectful. Images may be resized for display. External embedded content can be restricted for privacy, performance or security reasons.

You are responsible for checking that files are safe to share and that you have permission to publish their contents. Images and documents can contain identifying metadata. An uploaded file can have a directly accessible URL even if its discussion is awaiting moderation. The service is not a private document repository, and an accepted upload is not a certification that a file is harmless.

6. Content ownership and permission

You retain ownership of content you contribute. By submitting it, you give Cyber Shuriken a non-exclusive permission to store, display, format, resize, back up and moderate it as reasonably needed to operate the community and handle your requests. This permission does not transfer ownership or authorise unrelated advertising use of your content.

Other members should respect your rights. Public availability does not give everyone an unrestricted licence to reuse another person’s work. Sharing excerpts or references must respect applicable law and any permission or licence involved.

Cyber Shuriken’s branding and website materials remain the property of Cyber Shuriken or their respective rights holders. A community account does not give permission to represent the company or use its branding as an endorsement.

7. Moderation and reports

Account approval and first-contribution review may be required. Moderators can review reports, hold, edit, move or remove content, restrict posting, and suspend or close accounts when needed to apply the rules, address security concerns or comply with law.

Use the Report action where available, or email contact@cybershuriken.com with a link and a concise explanation. You can use the same address to ask for a moderation decision to be reviewed. Do not include passwords, MFA secrets or other unnecessary sensitive information.

We aim to apply the rules fairly. Moderation is not a promise that every contribution is reviewed before publication or that every problem will be detected immediately. Serious abuse or security risks may require immediate action.

8. Information and third-party links

Community contributions express their authors’ views. They are not automatically verified or endorsed by Cyber Shuriken. Technical examples, research and general discussion should be assessed for your own circumstances before being used on systems or in business decisions.

A discussion or enquiry alone does not establish a professional engagement or guarantee an outcome. Follow any separately agreed written terms for services or deliverables.

Links to external websites and files are provided for reference. Those services have their own terms and privacy practices, and their content may change independently.

9. Account closure and privacy

To request account closure, correction, removal of identifying details, or review of particular posts or files, email contact@cybershuriken.com, preferably from your registered address. Include the relevant alias and page URLs. We may check that you control the account before acting.

We review requests under the process described in the Privacy Policy, including any applicable retention requirements. Public contributions may need to be removed or anonymised separately from closing an account. Copies made by other people or search engines may remain outside our control.

10. Availability and legal rights

The websites and community features may be updated, interrupted or withdrawn. Back up your own important contributions and avoid relying on the forum as your sole source of advice, records or storage.

We cannot promise uninterrupted availability, error-free information or absolute security. Nothing in these terms removes a right or responsibility that applicable law does not allow to be excluded, or limits the privacy rights described in the Privacy Policy.

11. Changes and contact

We may revise these terms as the service changes. The revision date identifies the current version, and material changes will be brought to members’ attention appropriately. New uses of personal information are addressed through the Privacy Policy and any consent required for that use.
