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

What changed, in plain language

Nothing about your rights changed. The only difference is the scrambled code behind a hidden email link for reporting child sexual abuse material — the kind of code Vimeo's site uses to hide addresses from spam bots. The visible text, the rules, and the enforcement actions are all identical.

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

Changelog

± CHANGEDEncoded reporting email link updated
The CSAM reporting email address is hidden behind a scrambled link so spam bots can't scrape it. That scrambled code was regenerated, but the instruction to email Vimeo with the relevant URLs is unchanged.
If you are not a Vimeo user and wish to report suspected CSAM content, please email [\[email protected\]](https://vimeo.com/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#b7dbd2d0d6dbf7c1dedad2d899d4d8da) and include the relevant URLs.
If you are not a Vimeo user and wish to report suspected CSAM content, please email [\[email protected\]](https://vimeo.com/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#a8c4cdcfc9c4e8dec1c5cdc786cbc7c5) and include the relevant URLs.
