Safety

Report unwanted contact.

If a CloakID number is calling or texting you and you want it to stop, here's how to make that happen. We review every report.

Right now

Two things you can do immediately. Use either one or both — they work independently.

1

Reply STOP to text messages

If the number has been texting you, reply with the single word STOP. Your carrier will permanently block all further texts from that number to you. This is automatic and immediate. It applies even if the sender keeps trying.

Reply STOP only when you actually want all messages from that number to stop. The block lifts only if you later text START.

2

Email abuse@cloakid.app

For calls, voicemails, or any contact a STOP reply can't cover, email us. We'll review the records on our side and take action if our Acceptable Use Policy was violated.

STOP works at the carrier level. When you reply STOP, your phone carrier installs a permanent block on the sender. CloakID can't bypass that block, and neither can the sender. The block applies until you text START to lift it.

What to include in your report

The more detail you can give us, the faster we can act. If something on this list isn't easy to provide, send what you have — we'll work with it.

  • The CloakID phone number that contacted you, in any format you have it
  • Your phone number (so we can match it against our records)
  • Approximate dates and times of the contact
  • What kind of contact it was (calls, texts, voicemail, or a mix)
  • A short description of what happened in your own words
  • Whether you've asked the person to stop, and how (text, voice, in person, etc.)
  • Anything else you think we should know — screenshots, voicemail recordings, transcripts

What happens after you report

Every abuse report is reviewed by a person, not an automated system.

Within 24 hours

We confirm we received your report and begin reviewing the records on our side — call logs, message history, account details for the user behind the number.

If our policy was violated

We suspend the account, release the phone number back to the telephony network, block future contact from that user to your number, and prevent re-registration with the same phone number.

We preserve evidence

If you intend to file a police report or seek a protective order, the records we hold are preserved and can be produced in response to a subpoena, court order, or other valid legal process.

We follow up

We let you know what action was taken. We don't share information about the other user beyond confirming an investigation occurred and what enforcement steps were taken.

If you're in immediate danger

!

Call 911 (or your local emergency number) first

If you feel unsafe, threatened, or are being stalked, contact law enforcement before you contact us. Local police can take action faster than we can in an emergency, and they have authority we don't.

After you've contacted them, email abuse@cloakid.app so we can take parallel action on the platform side and preserve records for any investigation.

For law enforcement and legal process

Subpoenas, court orders, preservation letters, and other legal process should be sent to legal@cloakid.app. We respond to valid legal process and cooperate with investigations into harassment, stalking, threats, and other unlawful use of our service.

Where to send legal process

We follow standard legal-process procedures and may notify the affected user unless legally prohibited from doing so.

What our policy prohibits

Our Acceptable Use Policy specifically prohibits using CloakID to:

  • Harass, intimidate, threaten, or stalk any person
  • Contact someone who has not consented to receive calls or messages from a CloakID persona
  • Continue contacting someone after they've asked you to stop
  • Place calls or send messages at unreasonable hours without consent
  • Make silent or breather calls
  • Impersonate someone in a way that causes harm
  • Violate a protective, restraining, or no-contact order
  • Bypass STOP-keyword blocks or other opt-out mechanisms
  • Recreate an account after one has been terminated for these violations

Read the full policy in our Terms of Service, Section 4.
