I found the site and tried to check, but it wouldn't show me anything without being logged in, so I created an account. Now that I'm signed in though, I can only find vague rules, like

The User's account is for personal use only. Only the individual who holds the account is allowed to connect on it. Connections to the User's account are recorded so that we can detect account sharing. The User agrees to keep his login secret, We won't offer technical support for account hacking.

How does this work with a phone or laptop, for example? What if I sign in at my parents house when I visit for a few days?

Can anyone help please?

No one is monitoring your account. The system is logging stuff. Your IP. Login attempts. Etc. that’s just default. In case an admin needs to pull details of an account.

Most of what they are talking about is automated handled by the system they are using as it interacts with the database.

You’re thinking of a team of 12 in lab coats in front of cyber terminals. It’s more like a Reddit mod type of situation with a couple of dudes in their underwear with a notebook on their laps.

Just don’t share your account. It’s unlikely you’ll get flagged for anything nefarious if you aren’t actually doing anything nefarious. I’m sure whatever they have in place can handle a modern world where people log into stuff from phones and tablets and PCs and just about anything.
