We get quotes that fit how people post, message and get paid on your platform, and update your coverage as you ship. - Cyber quoted on your messages, profiles and payout data - Brand campaign contracts checked against your coverage - Keep your broker or switch, with no commissions on premiums [Get Started](https://app.spot.insure/signup?coverage=cyber&industry=social&icp=startups). Spot is not an insurance carrier and takes no commissions on premiums; you can keep your broker or switch. ## How Spot helps 1. **Tell us how your app works.** Your Spot team writes up who can post, whether content is public, how moderation and complaints work, what data you collect and which vendors handle payments and hosting. 2. **Read the campaign contract.** Before you accept a brand campaign, send the agreement. Spot checks its indemnity, service commitments and insurance requirements against your policies. 3. **Compare cyber quotes on breaches and outages.** When quotes come back, Spot compares how each one treats a messaging breach, a payment vendor outage, notification costs and platform downtime. 4. **Ask before you ship a feature.** Before you launch DMs, payouts or a teen mode, ask your Spot team in Slack whether the submission needs updating. ## Who we help - **Social and community apps.** Profiles, private messages and location data make a breach costly, and cyber terms vary from one form to the next. - **Creator platforms.** Payouts, payment vendors and creator terms add data and contract obligations to your quote. - **Platforms selling brand campaigns.** Brands rely on your campaign management and analytics, and their contracts carry indemnities and service promises. - **Teams running creator events.** Meetups and live productions raise general liability questions, and venues often ask for a certificate first. ## Coverage - [Cyber liability](https://spot.insure/insurance/cyber) - [Professional errors and omissions (E&O)](https://spot.insure/insurance/professional-errors-omissions) - [General liability](https://spot.insure/insurance/general-liability) - [Tools, equipment and inland marine](https://spot.insure/insurance/inland-marine) - [Workers’ compensation](https://spot.insure/insurance/workers-compensation) ## When to get this coverage - **You’re launching uploads or messaging.** New public content and private data change both your cyber and errors and omissions questions. - **You’re adding creator payouts.** Payment flows and payout data belong in the cyber application, along with the vendors that process them. - **A brand wants to run a campaign with you.** Compare the brief, approval process, disclosure plan and indemnity with your coverage before launch. - **Younger users may join.** Document the service’s design, features, marketing and audience for a COPPA review, and tell your broker about the change. - **You’re hiring a moderation team.** Moderators and support staff in several states change your workers’ compensation, so report each state, employing entity and job duty. ## Common questions Also known as social media company insurance, social media platform insurance, social app insurance, creator platform insurance and online community insurance. ### What insurance does a social media platform need? Cyber for user data and errors and omissions, which may include media liability for user content, usually lead. General liability, inland marine for gear and workers’ compensation round it out. Spot updates the submission as you add uploads, messaging or payouts. ### When should we revisit insurance after shipping a feature? Revisit it when the feature changes the data you collect, what’s public, your moderation role, a service commitment or how money moves. Spot updates the submission with you. ### Are creator endorsement claims covered? Following FTC disclosure guidance is a compliance step, not evidence of coverage. Spot asks brokers how each proposal treats your campaign services. ### Do privacy laws tell us what cyber insurance covers? No. Cyber forms are customized, so Spot compares the actual response, liability, restoration and interruption terms in each one. ### Our broker hasn’t placed cyber for a consumer app before. Is that a problem? It doesn’t have to be. Spot can work with your current broker on the cyber submission, or help you switch to one who places more consumer platform risk. Spot sits alongside whichever broker you choose and takes no commissions on premiums. ## More - [Business Insurance by Industry](https://spot.insure/insurance-for) ## Agent and Developer Resources - [Markdown page](https://spot.insure/insurance-for/social.md) - [Developer resources](https://spot.insure/developers) - [Public MCP server](https://spot.insure/mcp) - [MCP server manifest](https://spot.insure/server.json) - [OpenAPI description](https://spot.insure/openapi.json) - [Public page index](https://spot.insure/llms.txt)
