Compliance with Meta, Telegram & WhatsApp Policies:

We strictly adhere to the Community Standards of Facebook (Meta), Telegram, and WhatsApp.

We DO NOT encourage, teach, or facilitate malicious hacking, phishing, identity theft, or unauthorized access to systems.
We DO NOT engage in hate speech, violence, or "Dangerous Organization" activities as defined by Meta's policies.
Our content is strictly for White Hat (Ethical) security research and educational awareness to prevent cybercrimes.

3. Intellectual Property & Copyright Enforcement

WARNING TO CONTENT THIEVES: All content, including videos, course modules, graphics, logos, and captions posted on our pages and websites, is the exclusive Intellectual Property (IP) of Garuda Cyber Shield.

We have observed instances of individuals downloading our content and re-uploading it to issue Fake Copyright Strikes against our original pages. To prevent this:

Ownership Declaration: We possess original timestamps and raw files for all content. Any unauthorized re-upload is a violation of the Copyright Act, 2000 of Bangladesh.
Fake Strike Defense: If our content is removed due to a false copyright claim by a third party, we will initiate a Counter-Notification under the DMCA and Meta's IP policies.
Legal Action: Submitting a false copyright claim is a legal offense. We reserve the right to pursue damages against individuals or entities filing false takedown requests against our assets.

4. Policy Against False Reporting & Abuse

"Mass Reporting" or "Fake Reporting" to takedown our social media assets is a violation of platform terms and a form of Cyber Harassment.

Zero Tolerance for Malicious Reporting:

Abuse of Process: Using Facebook's reporting tools to falsely flag our educational content as "Terrorism," "Hate Speech," or "Nudity" in an organized attempt to suspend our pages is considered an attack on our digital infrastructure.
Legal Consequence: Under the Cyber Security Act, 2023 (Bangladesh), deliberately filing false complaints to harass an organization or cause financial/reputational loss is a punishable offense.
We continually monitor the health of our pages. Evidence of organized mass-reporting brigades will be reported directly to Meta's Security Team and relevant Bangladesh Law Enforcement Agencies (Cyber Crime Unit) for investigation.

5. Privacy & Data Protection

We respect the privacy of our members and students.

Data Collection: We collect names, contact numbers, and emails solely for course registration and verification purposes via Google Forms or our website.
No Sharing: We do not sell or share your personal data with third-party advertisers.
Security: While we implement strong security measures, users must understand that internet transmission is never 100% secure.

Garuda Cyber Shield provides information for defensive purposes only. We are not responsible for any misuse of the knowledge provided in our courses. Any individual found using our techniques for illegal activities (Black Hat hacking) will be immediately banned and reported to authorities.

We reserve the right to update these terms at any time without prior notice. Continued use of our services implies acceptance of these policies.
