Exceptions and Waivers

The categories above are the default posture applied to every customer at onboarding.

Category-level exceptions may be granted to a specific customer where a legitimate business need is established and verified through Massive’s customer due diligence process. Threat intelligence, open-source intelligence, security research, brand protection, and fraud investigation are recognized use cases that may require access to categories blocked by default.

Exceptions are granted per customer and per category. They are scoped to the verified use case and documented in the customer’s agreement. Requests are reviewed as they are received. Existing exceptions are re-reviewed against every list refresh. Access is withdrawn if the use case changes or the terms of the exception are not met.

Child sexual abuse material is never subject to exception or waiver, under any circumstance, for any customer, for any stated purpose. There is no review path and no approval path. Requests are declined and the account is escalated.

The prohibited activity and sanctioned jurisdiction sections above are not subject to exception.
