# Doxxing and private info

Posting someone else's phone number, address or private contact info without their OK. Sharing your own number isn't doxxing, and Sift knows the difference.

Doxxing means sharing private identifying or contact info about someone other than yourself, without their consent. Sift looks at the recent messages here, because posting your own number to set up a trade isn't the same as posting somebody else's.

## What gets flagged

-   Another person's home address, private phone number or personal email.
-   Piecing clues together to identify someone who wanted to stay anonymous.

## Moderator paging

Serious doxxing can mark the case urgent and ping your mod role, instead of just logging it quietly.
