Grievance and contact
How to raise a complaint about SpawnPoint, operated by ESGR Studios Private Limited, and where legal and copyright notices go.
Note to the owner (shown only while the draft banner is on). No grievance officer has been named and nobody is assigned to the review queue yet. The times below are the targets written in the server's safety design. Publish them only when people are in place to meet them, and have counsel confirm the deadlines that the law requires where you operate.
Grievance contact
- Grievance Officer
- SpawnPoint Grievance Team
- spawnpoint.app@esgr.studio
- Post
- WeWork Olympia Cyberspace, No. 21/22, Alandur Road, Guindy Industrial Estate, Chennai, Tamil Nadu 600032, India
How to complain
- About content or a person in the app: the fastest way is to report it in the app. You get a report number.
- About a decision on your account: appeal in the app under You > Safety; see how to appeal.
- Anything else, or if you cannot use the app: email the Grievance Officer. Include your phone number with country code (so we can find the account), the report number if you have one, what happened and when, and what you are asking for. Do not send verification codes, PINs or passwords.
We cannot read end-to-end encrypted chats. If your complaint is about a message, include the message yourself, ideally by reporting it in the app, which attaches it.
Response-time targets
| Kind of complaint | Our target for review |
|---|---|
| Child safety, intimate images shared without consent, threats of violence, risk of self-harm | 1 hour, and no later than 24 hours |
| Harassment, hate, sexual content, privacy violations, impersonation, illegal goods or activities | 24 hours, and no later than 72 hours |
| Spam and everything else | 72 hours, and no later than 15 days |
| A grievance sent to the Grievance Officer | Acknowledged within 24 hours; resolved within 15 days |
These are targets, not guarantees. Some protective steps are taken automatically before a person reviews a report; see the Community Rules.
Legal requests
Courts, law-enforcement and other authorities can send requests to spawnpoint.app@esgr.studio, or by post to ESGR Studios Private Limited, WeWork Olympia Cyberspace, No. 21/22, Alandur Road, Guindy Industrial Estate, Chennai, Tamil Nadu 600032, India. A request must identify the authority and the legal basis, and identify the account by phone number with country code, or the group, community or message by the identifiers shown in a report.
Message content and media are end-to-end encrypted and we cannot provide them. We respond to valid legal process with the account records our service holds.
Copyright and other intellectual property
If you believe something on SpawnPoint infringes your copyright, trademark or other right, send a notice to spawnpoint.app@esgr.studio with:
- your name and contact details, and whom you act for if not yourself;
- the work or right you say is infringed, with proof of ownership where you have it (for example a registration number or a link to the original);
- where the material is on SpawnPoint: the name of the group or community, the display name of the person who shared it, the date, and the report number if you or a member reported it in the app. Because chats are encrypted, we can act only on material we can identify from what you send;
- a statement that you believe in good faith that the use is not authorised by the owner, its agent or the law;
- a statement that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the owner or authorised to act for the owner;
- your signature (a typed name is enough).
If your content was removed after such a notice and you believe that was a mistake, reply to the same address with your reasons. Accounts that infringe repeatedly are restricted or banned under the Community Rules.
