Acceptable Use Policy

Last updated: October 30, 2026

The idea behind this policy

MicProtocol exists to help podcasters connect with great guests. This policy is here to make sure the platform stays useful and safe for everyone. It's not meant to be restrictive — most of it is just common sense.

Outreach and email

You can use MicProtocol to reach out to potential podcast guests. When you do, please:

  • Only contact people who would genuinely benefit from or want to hear from you
  • Include a clear way for recipients to opt out of further messages
  • Honour opt-out requests immediately — don't send more messages after someone says no
  • Be honest about who you are and what the podcast is about

Do not use MicProtocol to send bulk cold emails to purchased or scraped lists. That's spam, and it's illegal in most countries.

Guest information

When you add guest profiles to MicProtocol, treat that information with care:

  • Only store information that's genuinely needed for your podcast workflow
  • Don't share or sell guest contact details to third parties
  • If a guest asks you to delete their information, do it promptly

Uploaded files

Files you upload must be:

  • Content you own or have permission to use
  • Relevant to your podcast workflow (headshots, audio clips, PDFs, etc.)
  • Free of malware, viruses, or anything designed to harm others

Don't upload illegal content, copyrighted material you don't have rights to, or anything that could harm or harass others.

Ticketing and events

If you sell event tickets through MicProtocol:

  • Make sure your events are real and will actually happen
  • Be honest about ticket availability and pricing
  • Provide refunds if an event is cancelled
  • Don't sell more tickets than your venue can hold

What happens if you break these rules?

We may warn you, temporarily suspend your account, or permanently close it — depending on how serious the issue is. For illegal activity, we may report it to the relevant authorities. We'll always try to reach out before taking action unless the situation requires immediate intervention.
