Community Guidelines

SAFE DATE COMMUNITY GUIDELINES

Effective Date: Apr 20, 2026

Safe Date is designed for adults who are looking for meaningful, respectful connections. These Community Guidelines explain the expectations we have for everyone who uses Safe Date, the types of content and conduct that are not allowed, and what may happen if you violate these rules. They apply to all activities on Safe Date, including profiles, messages, and any other features we offer.

These Guidelines work together with our Terms of Use, Privacy Policy, and (for Colorado members) our Colorado Safety Policy. If there is a conflict between these Guidelines and those documents, the Terms of Use and applicable safety policies control.

By using Safe Date, you agree to follow these Community Guidelines.

1. Be Honest and Eligible to Use Safe Date

Safe Date is for adults who are legally allowed to use online dating services.

  • You must be at least 18 years old.
  • You must not be prohibited from using Safe Date under our Terms of Use, applicable law, or a prior ban or suspension.

You are expected to provide accurate information about yourself. This includes your age, gender, location, relationship status, and other key details we ask for when you create your profile. Do not impersonate another person (including celebrities, influencers, or people you know), pretend to be someone you are not, or use another person's photos or information without permission. You may not create or use an account for someone else, and you may not sell, rent, or share your account with others.

2. Treat Others with Respect

Safe Date should feel welcoming and respectful to everyone. You must not engage in harassment, hate, or abusive behavior toward other members. This means you must not:

  • Use slurs or hateful language toward individuals or groups based on characteristics such as race, ethnicity, religion, national origin, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, or similar traits.
  • Target someone with repeated insults, name calling, shaming, or degrading comments.
  • Send threats, including threats of harm, doxxing, or threats to share private information.
  • Bully, stalk, or pursue someone who has clearly indicated that they do not want to interact with you.

Disagreement is allowed; abuse is not. If you are not getting along with another member, stop engaging, unmatch, or block them instead of escalating the situation.

3. No Sexual Violence, Coercion, or Exploitation

Safe Date has zero tolerance for sexual violence or exploitation, whether it happens on or off the platform. You must not:

  • Engage in sexual activity with another person without their consent or attempt to do so.
  • Pressure, coerce, or manipulate someone into sexual activity, including by using threats, blackmail, or exploiting intoxication or impairment.
  • Share or threaten to share intimate images, sexual videos, or private photos without the other person's permission, including altered or "deepfake" images depicting a real person.

Consent must be clear, informed, voluntary, and ongoing. It can be withdrawn at any time and cannot be given by someone who is asleep, unconscious, or unable to understand what is happening, for example because of drugs or alcohol. Conduct that violates this section may also violate criminal and civil laws. We may restrict or remove accounts in response to credible reports of sexual violence or exploitation, even if there is no criminal case, and we may cooperate with law enforcement where appropriate and consistent with applicable law.

4. Keep Interactions Safe and Non-Harassing

You are responsible for how you communicate and interact with others on Safe Date. You must not engage in:

  • Persistent unwanted contact, including repeatedly messaging someone who has not responded or has clearly said they are not interested.
  • Intimidating, menacing, or "creepy" behavior that makes others feel unsafe, such as monitoring their activity or demanding to know where they are and who they are with.
  • Attempts to control or isolate another person, including by discouraging them from contacting friends, family, or support resources.

If someone asks you to stop contacting them, you must stop. If someone blocks or unmatches you, do not try to contact them again through other accounts or channels.

5. No Fraud, Scams, or Deceptive Conduct

Safe Date may not be used for financial fraud, scams, or other deceptive schemes. You must not:

  • Ask for money, financial information, bank account or credit card numbers, or access to someone's financial accounts.
  • Request gift cards, cryptocurrency, or other items of value, especially from people you have not met in person.
  • Use fake identities or deceptive stories to gain sympathy or financial benefit (for example, false emergencies, investment opportunities, or inheritance schemes).

You may not use Safe Date for multi level marketing, pyramid schemes, or similar commercial recruitment. If someone asks you for money or sensitive financial information, or offers an investment, job, or business opportunity that feels suspicious, do not send money or share information and report the account to us.

6. No Illegal Activity or Dangerous Behavior

You may not use Safe Date to plan, promote, or engage in illegal or dangerous activities. This includes:

  • Threatening or organizing violence or property damage.
  • Human trafficking, exploitation, or any form of forced labor or sexual exploitation.
  • Buying or selling illegal drugs, weapons, or counterfeit documents.
  • Encouraging self harm, suicide, or dangerous challenges.

We may remove content or accounts and notify law enforcement if we believe there is a serious and immediate risk of harm, consistent with applicable law and our legal obligations.

7. No Non-Consensual Surveillance, Tracking, or Doxxing

Technology facilitated abuse is prohibited on Safe Date. You must not:

  • Use or encourage others to use tracking devices, spyware, or similar tools to monitor someone's location or communications without their knowledge and consent.
  • Threaten to reveal or actually reveal someone's home address, workplace, private contact information, or other identifying details (doxxing).
  • Share screenshots of chats or personal information from Safe Date in a way that is intended to harass, shame, or threaten another person.

If you are concerned that someone is using technology to monitor or track you without your consent, stop communication when it is safe to do so and consider reaching out to local law enforcement or a trusted support organization.

8. Profile and Content Standards

Your profile and content should reflect who you are and be appropriate for a dating environment. You must not post:

  • Nudity or sexually explicit content that violates our content standards or applicable law.
  • Photos or videos that show minors in sexualized or suggestive contexts.
  • Images or content that are extremely graphic or violent.
  • Content that is meant primarily to shock, disgust, or scare other users.

Do not post someone else's personal information, including full name, phone number, email address, home address, or social media handles, without their permission. If you share content that includes other people, you are responsible for making sure you have the right to share it.

9. Respect Privacy and Boundaries

Respecting privacy and boundaries helps keep Safe Date healthy for everyone. You should not pressure others to share personal details (such as full name, address, or employer) before they are comfortable. You may not demand live location updates, require constant texting, or otherwise try to control how and when someone communicates with you. If someone says they are not ready to share certain information or to meet in person, you must respect that decision. When you do decide to meet someone, we encourage you to follow our safety tips, which include meeting in public places, telling a trusted person where you will be, arranging your own transportation, and leaving immediately if you feel uncomfortable or unsafe.

10. No Unwanted Commercial or Promotional Use

Safe Date is for personal use, not advertising or recruiting. You may not:

  • Use Safe Date primarily to promote a business, product, service, event, or content channel.
  • Send unsolicited commercial messages or spam.
  • Recruit others for multi level marketing, "get rich quick" schemes, or similar programs.

Limited references to your profession or business in your profile may be acceptable, but the primary purpose of your account must be dating, not marketing.

11. Reporting and Enforcement

If you see something that appears to violate these Community Guidelines or makes you feel unsafe, we encourage you to report it. You can report profiles, messages, or other content directly through the app, or by using any support email or web form identified in our Help center. When we receive a report, we review the information available to us and decide what action, if any, is appropriate. Depending on the circumstances, we may:

  • Take no action if we do not find a violation or lack enough information.
  • Remove or edit specific content.
  • Issue a warning or reminder of our rules.
  • Limit certain features, such as messaging or profile visibility.
  • Temporarily suspend an account while we investigate.
  • Permanently ban an account and, where appropriate, prevent future access.

We may also consider relevant off platform information, including arrests, convictions, or credible law enforcement notifications, where it indicates a risk to our community, consistent with our Terms of Use and applicable law.

Submitting intentionally false or malicious reports is itself a violation of these Guidelines and may result in action against your account. Safe Date is not an emergency service. If you or someone else is in immediate danger, call local emergency services first, then report the issue to us when you can do so safely.

Enforcement decisions are made at our discretion based on the information available to us. Separate from these Guidelines, members may have additional rights under our Terms of Use, applicable law, or, for Colorado members, our Colorado Safety Policy.

12. Appeals and Account Reviews

If we take action against your account and you believe we made a mistake, you may request a review. Instructions for submitting an appeal will be provided in the notice you receive. When you appeal, please include your account details, the action we took, and an explanation of why you believe it was incorrect or unfair. You may also include any information or context you want us to consider. We will review your appeal along with the information we used to make the original decision and may request additional details if needed. After we complete the review, we may uphold, modify, or reverse our original decision. In some cases, we may decline to reinstate an account if we believe it would create a safety risk, even if some facts are disputed. Appeal outcomes are final within Safe Date but do not limit any rights you may have under applicable law or our Terms of Use.

13. Changes to These Guidelines

We may update these Community Guidelines from time to time to reflect changes in our service, our practices, or applicable law. When we make material changes, we will update the "Effective Date" at the top of this page and, when appropriate, provide additional notice, such as an in app message or email. Continued use of Safe Date after changes take effect means you accept the updated Community Guidelines.
