HoardDen — Terms of Service

Last updated: November 9, 2026

HoardDen is a personal app for tracking what you watch, read, and play, provided free of charge, as-is, primarily for friends and family. By creating an account you agree to these simple terms.

Your account

You are responsible for keeping your password (and authenticator, if you enable one) safe, and for everything added under your account. Pick a username you have the right to use, and keep your profile picture and bio friendly for everyone. Passwords must be at least 8 characters and include a lowercase letter, an UPPERCASE letter, a number, and a symbol.

Acceptable use

Use the app for its purpose: tracking what you watch, read, and play, and sharing that with people you know. Don't attempt to access other users' private lists or messages, disrupt the service, scrape or overload it, or use it for anything unlawful.

Posting, photos, and messages

Be decent to each other. Don't post or send content that is unlawful, harassing, hateful, sexually explicit involving anyone under 18, or that infringes someone else's rights, and don't spam. Photos you upload are public image files — don't upload anything you don't have the right to share or wouldn't want public. Direct messages are for friends you've both accepted; if someone is bothering you, remove the friendship and report the content.

Reports and moderation

Posts, comments, photos, and Free Shelf series can be reported. HoardDen has one admin (the founder) and moderators the admin appoints. Moderators can review reports, remove content that breaks these terms, answer help tickets, and review Free Shelf publishing applications — each moderator only has the permissions the admin has given them. The admin may remove content and may remove accounts that repeatedly or seriously break the terms. Moderation decisions are final, but a removal made by mistake can be raised through the contact email below.

Badges

Some profiles carry badges. Badges are labels the admin (or a moderator with badge permission) grants; they're a bit of fun and a way to recognize people, and apart from badges that mark a moderation role, a badge doesn't change what an account can do. Badges can be created, renamed, granted, or removed at any time.

Content and ownership

Your list entries, posts, and messages belong to you. Cover images and titles shown in the app belong to their respective owners and are displayed only to help identify titles. By posting in the Feed or uploading a photo, you give HoardDen permission to store and display that content inside the app as described in the Privacy Policy.

Publishing on the Free Shelf

If you apply to publish a series on the Free Shelf, you confirm that the work is your own or that you have written permission from the rights holder to publish it here. You keep your copyright. By choosing a license for your series, you grant HoardDen permission to store and display the pages you upload under that license, and to show your creator name alongside them. You can unpublish your series at any time; HoardDen may also remove any shelf content that breaks these terms or that we are asked to take down by the rights holder.

Outside services

Some features look things up on outside services (cover art, barcode and photo identification, release-date checks). Those lookups are provided under the outside services' own terms, and a feature that depends on one can slow down, change, or stop working if that service changes.

Deleting your account

You may delete your account at any time in Profile → Danger zone. Deletion removes your list, posts, photos, comments, messages, and account, and can't be undone. Your email address may be used to register again afterwards.

Availability

The service is provided "as is" without guarantees of uptime or of data backups. We may change or discontinue features, and may suspend accounts that break these terms. If these terms change in a way that matters, the updated date at the top will change with them.
