Community Guidelines

Welcome to Connections! To keep Connections a safe, respectful, and enjoyable community, all users must follow these Community Guidelines, in addition to our Terms of Service. By using Connections, you agree to abide by these guidelines. Violations can result in content removal, account suspension, or permanent ban. In serious cases, we may also report misconduct to the authorities. If you witness any violations of these guidelines, please report them through the app or by contacting us - we rely on our community to help us maintain a safe environment.

Connections Is Not for the Following:

Nudity & Sexual Content: Do not post or share pornographic or sexually explicit content. This includes images containing nudity, genitalia, or sexual acts, as well as explicit text or media in chat. Connections is not a place for erotic content. Keep it clean and appropriate for a general audience.
Harassment & Bullying: Treat other users with respect. We have zero tolerance for stalking, harassment, bullying, or intimidation. Do not threaten, blackmail, or deliberately insult anyone. If someone isn"t interested or asks you to stop contacting them, respect their boundaries. Repeated unwanted contact will lead to removal.
Hate Speech & Discrimination: Connections is a hate-free zone. Do not engage in or promote hate speech, violent ideologies, or bigotry. This includes any attacks or slurs targeting a person or group on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, caste, disability, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, or age. Even if meant as a "joke," this content is not allowed. Be respectful and inclusive.
Privacy & Personal Information: Protect your privacy and others'. Do not publicly share personal information - this includes your own or anyone else's phone numbers, home or work address, financial information, government IDs, login credentials, or any other sensitive data. Similarly, do not ask other users for their private information. Connections profiles should not contain confidential details like social security numbers, passport info, banking details, etc.
Spam & Scams: Connections is not a platform for spam or commercial solicitation. Do not repeatedly send unwanted messages for commercial purposes. Don"t attempt to redirect users to external websites, services, or phone numbers for any reason (including personal gain or fraud). Chain letters, junk messages, phishing attempts, and any kind of scam will result in an immediate ban.
Promotions & Advertising: We do not allow promotion of products, services, fundraising campaigns, or political propaganda. Do not use Connections to advertise or sell any goods or services. This includes multi-level marketing schemes, event promotions, referral codes, or any content whose primary purpose is to promote something. Connections is for personal connections, not business.
Prostitution & Trafficking: Under no circumstances may Connections be used for soliciting paid sexual services, escort services, or any form of sex trafficking or exploitation. Offering or requesting any kind of compensation (money, gifts, favors, etc.) in exchange for romantic or sexual interactions is strictly forbidden. Any indication of facilitating prostitution or human trafficking will result in immediate removal and may be reported to law enforcement.
Impersonation & Misrepresentation: Be yourself. Do not impersonate any other individual, celebrity, public figure, or entity. Do not create fake identities or misleading profiles. The photos and information you use should be your own (or you must have the rights to use them). Misleading others about your identity (such as using someone else"s photos or using a fake name) is prohibited. Honesty is key to building trust on Connections.
Minors: You must be 18 or older to use Connections. We do not tolerate any use of the platform by minors or any content that sexually exploits or endangers minors. Do not include minors in your profile photos. If you are a parent and choose to share a family photo that includes a minor, you must be present in the photo, and it must be clear that the minor is not an account holder. However, we strongly discourage sharing images of minors at all to protect their privacy. Any profile found to be created by someone under 18 (or any content suggesting an underage user) will be removed. Likewise, any user attempting to contact a minor or facilitate inappropriate contact involving a minor will be banned and reported.
Intellectual Property: Only post content (including text, photographs, and other media) that you have the right to share. Do not upload or use content that you didn"t create or don"t have permission to use. This means no stealing or misusing other people"s photos, no posting copyrighted images, and no plagiarizing someone"s words. If you suspect someone is using your images or content without permission on Connections, please report it and we will take action.
One Person, One Account: Each person is allowed to maintain only a single account on Connections. Do not create multiple accounts for yourself, whether to bypass a previous ban or to deceive others. Additionally, do not share your account with anyone else or let someone log into your account to impersonate you. Your account is personal to you - if we find duplicate or shared accounts, we may terminate them.
Third-Party Apps & Bots: For the safety and privacy of our community, do not use any unauthorized third-party applications, scripts, bots, or software that interact with Connections. This includes services that claim to provide special features, cheats, or automation on Connections. Such tools can compromise account security and violate our Terms. If it"s not an official Connections feature, please don"t use it.
Inactive Accounts: To keep our community fresh and active, extremely old or inactive accounts may be removed. If an account is completely dormant (no logins or activity) for over 24 months (2 years), Connections reserves the right to delete the account and its data. (If you plan to be away for an extended period, consider logging in occasionally or using any "pause" feature if available, to avoid deletion.)

Enforcement

We take these guidelines seriously. Content that violates the Community Guidelines may be removed without warning. Users who violate these rules may receive a warning or have their account suspended or permanently banned, depending on the severity and frequency of the violation. Connections reserves the right to determine, in its sole discretion, what constitutes a violation and to take appropriate action.

Reporting

See someone breaking the rules or making you feel unsafe? Report them. You can report profiles or specific messages in-app using the report feature, or email our support team at connections@dating-universe.com. We will review all reports and take action as needed. Reporting is confidential - the user you report will not know you filed a complaint.

A Safe and Welcoming Community

By working together and following these guidelines, we can ensure Connections remains a friendly, welcoming community for everyone. Thank you for doing your part and for treating others with kindness and respect.

Happy connecting, and stay safe!
