01 — About

Independent by design.

Helundavo is an independent public-source research and abuse-reporting project. It is not a law-enforcement, government or regulatory body, does not conduct criminal investigations and does not claim affiliation with any institution.

Our role is narrow: preserve observable facts, assess context, minimise unnecessary personal data and submit material to the provider best placed to review it. We do not determine guilt, demand outcomes or publish accusations.

Operator biographical details are not published for safety reasons. This privacy measure does not alter our obligation to use accurate provider and registration information or to comply with applicable law.

02 — Methodology

A documented chain of care.

A report is useful only when its provenance is clear, its language is proportionate and its recipient can independently assess the material.

01

Observe

Work only with material already accessible to the public. Record the source URL, observation time and relevant context without interacting with sellers or operators.

02

Preserve

Keep originals unchanged. Document provenance and transformations; use cryptographic hashes when they materially support integrity.

03

Separate

Clearly distinguish verified facts, source statements, analytical conclusions, hypotheses and what remains unknown.

04

Minimise

Remove personal and third-party information that is not necessary for the recipient’s policy assessment.

05

Review

Verify the recipient, scope, attachments, metadata and potential consequences before any material leaves the project boundary.

06

Report

Use official published abuse channels, factual language and the minimum evidence needed. The recipient decides what action, if any, is appropriate.

03 — Boundaries

What restraint means in practice.

The project is designed to reduce harm without creating new risk, exposure or confrontation.

We do

  • Analyse public-source material
  • Record provenance and observation time
  • Check context and competing explanations
  • Minimise personal data
  • Report through official provider channels
  • Correct material errors transparently

We do not

  • Buy, sell or facilitate controlled substances
  • Hack, bypass access controls or impersonate others
  • Conduct provocations or undercover operations
  • Threaten, pursue or dox people
  • Contact sellers or subjects of reports
  • Request subscriber data
  • Publish unverified allegations or private evidence

04 — Public policy

Accountable reporting.

These commitments govern public-facing work and take precedence over speed or volume.

Reporting policy

An abuse report is a notice asking a service provider to assess a possible violation of its rules or applicable law. Reports are addressed to platforms, registrars, hosting providers or other responsible service operators through contacts published by those organisations. They describe observable content and relevant URLs, not legal conclusions about people.

Helundavo asks recipients to assess material under their own policies. We do not request private subscriber data and do not imply official authority.

Corrections

Credible correction requests are reviewed against the preserved source record. Material errors are corrected promptly and the nature of a substantive change is documented.

Corrections do not require disclosure of protected sources, internal security controls or unrelated records. A dedicated corrections channel will be published after project mail authentication has been tested.

Privacy

This site has no analytics, advertising pixels, social widgets, accounts, comments, cookies or evidence-upload forms. It does not intentionally collect visitor-submitted personal data.

Cloudflare and other network providers may process limited request and security data to deliver and protect the site under their documented policies and retention practices. Helundavo does not maintain a separate visitor-log datastore and does not claim that infrastructure logs never exist.

Security

The public site is separated from internal research records and contains no case tracker, evidence store or administrative interface. Reports of security issues should follow the instructions at /.well-known/security.txt.

Please do not include exploit payloads, credentials, personal data or unpublished third-party material in an initial notification.

Intake status: Helundavo is not yet accepting external case submissions. Dedicated mail channels will be announced only after authentication and metadata checks are complete.
