COMMUNITY GUIDELINES

Version: 1.0.0 Effective Date: September 30, 2026

Welcome to our community. Our goal is to create a safe, respectful, and authentic environment for users to connect. To protect our ecosystem, we have established these Community Guidelines.

Violating these guidelines will result in actions against your account, ranging from content removal and warnings to permanent bans and reporting to law enforcement. We use a combination of automated systems (such as ML-based photo analysis and text filters) and human moderation to enforce these rules.

1. AUTHENTICITY AND IMPERSONATION

Rule: You must be who you say you are.

• Catfishing & Fake Profiles: You may not use photos of other people, celebrities, or AI-generated realistic humans to deceive others.
• Age Misrepresentation: You must be at least 18 years old. Creating an account using a false birth date is strictly prohibited.
• Enforcement: Suspected fake accounts will be temporarily restricted pending identity verification. Confirmed impersonators will be permanently banned.

2. RESPECT AND ANTI-HARASSMENT

Rule: Treat others with basic human decency.

• Harassment & Bullying: Do not send unwanted, repeated messages after someone has indicated they are not interested. Do not insult, belittle, or verbally abuse other users.
• Hate Speech: We have zero tolerance for attacks based on race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, age, or disability.
• Threats & Violence: Do not threaten physical harm, wish death or disease upon someone, or promote violence, terrorism, or self-harm.
• Enforcement: Harassment may result in a warning or ban depending on severity. Hate speech and threats result in an immediate, permanent ban.

3. SEXUAL CONTENT AND NUDITY

Rule: Keep it clean on public profiles and respect consent in private.

• Public Profiles: No nudity, sexually explicit photographs, or excessively graphic bio descriptions are allowed on your public profile.
• Non-Consensual Intimate Imagery (NCII / Revenge Porn): Sharing or threatening to share intimate photos of someone else without their explicit consent (Sextortion/Blackmail) is a severe violation and a crime in many jurisdictions.
• Enforcement: Public nudity is removed and the user is warned. NCII/Sextortion results in a permanent ban and potential reporting to law enforcement. Flagged media is preserved in our `evidence_vault` for legal investigations.

4. MINORS AND CHILD SAFETY (CSAM)

Rule: Zero tolerance for the exploitation of minors.

• No Minors: Our app is exclusively for adults (18+). You may not post photos containing unaccompanied minors, even if they are your children.
• CSAM: The uploading, sharing, or soliciting of Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) or the grooming of minors is strictly forbidden.
• Enforcement: Any detection of CSAM results in an immediate permanent ban, preservation of the data, and an automatic report to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) or local equivalent authorities.

5. SCAMS, FRAUD, AND COMMERCIAL ACTIVITY

Rule: The platform is for personal connections, not financial gain.

• Romance Scams & Extortion: Do not use the app to trick people into sending you money, gift cards, or cryptocurrency.
• Solicitation & Prostitution: Do not use the app to buy or sell sexual services, escort services, or "sugar" relationships.
• Commercial Spam: Do not use the app to sell products, promote your business, share affiliate links, or mass-message users to drive traffic to your social media or OnlyFans accounts.
• Enforcement: Scammers and commercial spammers are permanently banned.

6. PLATFORM MANIPULATION

Rule: Do not cheat the system.

• Third-Party Apps & Bots: Do not use automated swipe bots, scripts, or unofficial clients to manipulate the matchmaking algorithm.
• Location Spoofing: Using GPS spoofing tools to falsify your location disrupts the experience for local users and is prohibited.
• Enforcement: Accounts using automation will be shadowbanned or terminated.

7. REPORTING AND APPEALS

How to Report: If you encounter behavior that violates these guidelines, use the in-app "Report" button on the user's profile or within the chat. Do not engage with abusers. Appeals: If you believe your account was suspended in error, you may submit an appeal to our Trust & Safety team via [Insert Support Email]. Automated moderation decisions (e.g., keyword filter bans) are subject to human review upon appeal. However, bans for CSAM, extreme threats, or severe fraud are final and non-appealable.
