Vimeo Acceptable Use Community Guidelines changes — dated 2025-09-22 (NOTED)

What changed, in plain language

Nothing meaningful changed. The only difference is the scrambled code in a Cloudflare-protected email link for reporting child safety content — that code is regenerated each time the page loads and points to the same address. No rules, rights, or obligations were changed.

This change appears to be cosmetic (formatting, typos, or contact details).

Changelog

± CHANGEDEmail protection code in the CSAM reporting link refreshed
Vimeo hides its reporting email address behind a scrambled code so spam bots can't read it. That scramble gets regenerated when the page is served, so the link text changed even though the email address and the instructions around it are exactly the same.
