Community Guidelines

Bondly is designed to help people build real, meaningful connections. To keep our community safe and welcoming, all users must follow these Community Guidelines, along with our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.

1. Be Respectful and Kind

Treat everyone with respect, regardless of gender, tribe, ethnicity, religion, sexuality, or background.

• No insults, bullying, harassment, or targeted attacks in messages, bios, or photos.
• No threats of violence, intimidation, or encouraging others to harass someone.
• Disagree respectfully; if a conversation feels bad, you can unmatch, block, or report.

2. Authentic Profiles, Real People

Bondly is for real people looking for real connections, not fake personas or bots.

• Use your real age, gender, and location; do not misrepresent who you are.
• Do not impersonate another person, celebrity, brand, or public figure.
• No multiple fake profiles, account sharing, or automated/bot accounts.

3. Safe Photos and Content

Keep your profile and chats appropriate for a dating community and follow local laws.

• No nudity, pornography, or sexually explicit photos and videos.
• No graphic violence, gore, or content promoting self-harm or suicide.
• No hate symbols, extremist content, or content that promotes terrorism or crime.

4. Consent and Personal Boundaries

Consent is essential both online and offline; always respect people’s boundaries.

• No pressured sexting, unwanted sexual messages, or repeated advances after a clear “no”.
• Stop messaging if someone unmatches, blocks, or asks you to stop.
• Do not share someone else’s private photos, chats, or personal information without permission.

5. No Scams, Fraud, or Money Requests

Bondly is not a place to ask for money or run scams of any kind.

• Never ask other users for money, loans, gifts, or “urgent financial help”.
• Do not run investment, crypto, lottery, betting, or similar schemes.
• Report any profile that asks for money, banking details, or suspicious off-app payments.

6. Protect Personal Information

Be careful with what you share and respect the privacy of others.

• Avoid posting your phone number, home/work address, ID numbers, or bank details in your profile.
• Do not pressure anyone to share sensitive info, passwords, verification codes, or documents.
• Never use information from Bondly to stalk, threaten, or blackmail another person.

7. No Hate, Discrimination, or Abuse

Hate and discrimination have no place on Bondly.

• No slurs, dehumanizing language, or content that attacks people based on race, tribe, ethnicity, nationality, religion, gender, sexuality, disability, or health status.
• No promotion of violence, segregation, or exclusion of any protected group.
• Jokes or “banter” that targets protected groups can still violate these rules.

8. No Illegal or Dangerous Activities

Do not use Bondly to break the law or put people in danger.

• No buying, selling, or promoting drugs, weapons, or other illegal goods or services.
• No organizing or encouraging violence, crime, or self-harm.
• No sharing of content that shows or glorifies criminal activity.

9. Personal Use, Not Commercial

Bondly is for personal dating and relationships, not for business or advertising.

• No promotion of businesses, services, or products (including escorting or porn services).
• No “sugar dating”, transactional sex, or offering rewards for romantic/sexual activity.
• No spam, mass messaging, or posting links just to drive traffic or sales.

10. Safety Tips for Offline Meetings

If you decide to meet someone in person, take steps to stay safe.

• Take your time; get to know the person in-app first and trust your instincts.
• Meet in public places, tell a friend or family member your plans, and keep your phone charged.
• If you ever feel unsafe, you can end the meeting, leave, and block/report the user.

11. Reporting and Enforcement

Help us keep Bondly safe by reporting problems when you see them.

• Use the in-app tools to report profiles, photos, or messages that break these guidelines.
• We may warn, restrict, or permanently ban accounts that violate our rules or Terms of Service.
• For serious issues like threats, exploitation, or child safety risks, we may cooperate with law enforcement where legally required.

12. Updates to These Guidelines

We may update these Community Guidelines from time to time to reflect new features, safety practices, or legal requirements.

When we make important changes, we may notify you in the app and will update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page.

Your continued use of Bondly after changes take effect means you accept the updated guidelines.
