## About

All-in-one project management and team communication tool for organized collaboration

## Activity summary

Blocked in Syria, verified in February 2026, when access from Syrian connections redirected to a dedicated sanctions page citing U.S. sanctions. A community volunteer contacted the company in April 2026, but the same day the company declined to restore access, explaining that it lacks a way to screen individual users against U.S. sanctions lists and will keep blocking Syria until a reliable verification method exists. No resolution yet.

## Community reports

- 2026-04-21 — Declined. Basecamp's support team responded via support@basecamp.com with a substantive human reply declining the unblocking request. The company acknowledged that broad restrictions on Syria have changed over time, but stated that U.S. companies remain legally obligated to ensure they are not doing business with individuals or organizations on active sanctions lists such as the U.S. Treasury's SDN list. Because Basecamp lacks a mechanism to independently verify or screen individual end users against those lists, it will continue blocking access from Syria as a whole until a reliable verification method exists. The reply explicitly invited further questions and left the door open for a proposed verification approach.
- 2026-04-21 — Contacted Company. A community volunteer emailed Basecamp's privacy and support teams at privacy@37signals.com and support@37signals.com requesting that service access be enabled for users in Syria. The email referenced the December 2025 lifting of U.S. and EU sanctions, linked to OFAC documentation and the UnblockSyria resources page, and noted that several peer companies have already restored access.
- 2026-02-25 — Verified. Community testing confirmed that Basecamp remains blocked in Syria. Accessing basecamp.com from a Syrian IP redirects to a dedicated sanctions page at basecamp.com/sanctions displaying: "Use restricted — You're unable to access Basecamp due to U.S. sanctions placed on the country you're currently in." This is an explicit, first-party sanctions compliance block. The restriction persists across all Syrian ISPs.

## Context

These are geo-restrictions the companies applied themselves, not filtering by Syrian ISPs and not a legal requirement. US and EU sanctions on Syria were lifted in 2025.
