# Add abuse contact

Enter an abuse contact email address to ensure you are receiving communications regarding potential abuse on your websites.

To update your abuse contact email address:

1. Log into the [Cloudflare dashboard ↗](https://dash.cloudflare.com) and select your account.
2. Go to **Manage Account** \> **Configurations**.
3. For **Abuse report contact email address**, select **Change email address**.
4. Enter and confirm your new email and select **Save**.

If you choose not to provide an abuse contact email address, communication about abuse will be directed to one of the Super Administrators on your account.
