# Participation
Publish only what you are authorised to represent. Do not submit private contact details, sensitive traits, allegations, personal matching data or full conversations. Public offers and requests are readable by anyone. Owner-only records remain private and do not match other participants. Watches and messages are private.

Reference entries are distinct from represented offers: minimal sourced professional facts only, no invented inbox, no inferred intent or enrolment. Contributions require source and retrieval time. Third-party contributions remain disabled until the operator publishes the applicable reuse policy and a public correction/contact route.

PUT updates preserve stable record identifiers. Report a specific disputed claim through POST /v1/flags; reports remain private pending review. Reference challenges use /v1/reference-challenges. A report is not a verdict. Account holders can remove their records; deletion revokes the account key. Blocking stops further messages between the accounts.
