Allan StojanovicandClaude Opus 4.7 5be4732f96 chore: add AUP clause 1.6 - Privacy Violations, Doxxing, and Targeted Harassment (#46565)
## Summary

Adds AUP clause **1.6 — Privacy Violations, Doxxing, and Targeted
Harassment** to Section 1 (General Prohibitions), positioned between the
existing 1.5 (Obfuscation) and Section 2.

**The wording for clause 1.6 was supplied verbatim by Supabase Legal.**
This PR is the mechanical addition of that text in the right place with
the right formatting and numbering — the wording itself is not up for
review.

Driven by the "namehim" case — see the Slack `#team-security`
investigation thread for the specific events that drove this addition.
Codifies the AUP grounds for handling that abuse pattern so future
enforcement actions for the same shape don't have to lean on General
Prohibitions stretch interpretations.

Linear:
[ABU-44](https://linear.app/supabase/issue/ABU-44/chore-add-aup-clause-16-privacy-violations-doxxing-and-targeted)

## What changed

- New clause 1.6 inserted in Section 1
- `_Last Modified:_` date bumped to 1 June 2026
- Trailing-two-spaces added to the previous 1.5 line so 1.6 renders on a
new line (matches the existing within-section line-break convention)

## Wording rationale (per Legal)

The clause prohibits using the Services to publish, disclose, or
facilitate dissemination of another person's
personal/confidential/identifying information, plus using the Services
to doxx, harass, intimidate, threaten, stalk, extort, or otherwise
target individuals.

The legitimate-uses carve-out at the end was specifically requested by
Legal:

> This provision does not prohibit lawful processing, publication, or
distribution of information for legitimate purposes, including
journalism, research, public-interest reporting, legal compliance,
public records uses, or other activities protected by applicable law.

Keeps the clause from accidentally prohibiting customers doing
journalism, public-records work, breach research, or other lawful uses.

## Open question for review

The AUP doesn't currently follow the date-suffixed-archive pattern that
`privacy.mdx` does (e.g. `privacy-260316.mdx`). Should this substantive
change trigger archiving the prior version as `aup-260225.mdx`? Flagging
for the reviewers — happy to add the archive copy in a follow-up commit
on this branch if so.

## Test plan

- [ ] Reviewer renders the page locally (`pnpm --filter www dev`, then
`http://localhost:3000/aup`) and confirms clause 1.6 displays correctly
between 1.5 and Section 2
- [ ] Clause numbering convention matches existing pattern (bold title
with period and colon, two-trailing-space line breaks within sections)
- [x] Wording supplied by Supabase Legal (no wordsmith review required)

How it works

Supabase is a combination of open source tools. We’re building the features of Firebase using enterprise-grade, open source products. If the tools and communities exist, with an MIT, Apache 2, or equivalent open license, we will use and support that tool. If the tool doesn't exist, we build and open source it ourselves. Supabase is not a 1-to-1 mapping of Firebase. Our aim is to give developers a Firebase-like developer experience using open source tools.

Architecture

Supabase is a hosted platform. You can sign up and start using Supabase without installing anything. You can also self-host and develop locally.

Architecture

  • Postgres is an object-relational database system with over 30 years of active development that has earned it a strong reputation for reliability, feature robustness, and performance.
  • Realtime is an Elixir server that allows you to listen to PostgreSQL inserts, updates, and deletes using websockets. Realtime polls Postgres' built-in replication functionality for database changes, converts changes to JSON, then broadcasts the JSON over websockets to authorized clients.
  • PostgREST is a web server that turns your PostgreSQL database directly into a RESTful API.
  • GoTrue is a JWT-based authentication API that simplifies user sign-ups, logins, and session management in your applications.
  • Storage a RESTful API for managing files in S3, with Postgres handling permissions.
  • pg_graphql a PostgreSQL extension that exposes a GraphQL API.
  • postgres-meta is a RESTful API for managing your Postgres, allowing you to fetch tables, add roles, and run queries, etc.
  • Kong is a cloud-native API gateway.

Client libraries

Our approach for client libraries is modular. Each sub-library is a standalone implementation for a single external system. This is one of the ways we support existing tools.
