Community Guidelines

• Use recent photos of yourself, with your face visible in at least one.
• No photos of anyone else, no celebrity pictures, no images you found online.
• No group shots as your only photo — nobody should have to guess which one you are.
• Your age must be your real age. Everything downstream depends on it.
• One account per person. A second profile is a fake profile, even if both are you.

Photo verification is optional but it is the fastest way to show you are real, and it unlocks the verified-only filter for people who use it.

Fryndo is built so nothing happens to you without your agreement: nobody can message you until you match or accept a request, and nobody can call you unless you matched. Extend that same respect in the conversations you are in.

• No unsolicited sexual messages or images. Ever. Not once, not as a joke.
• No pressure to move to WhatsApp, Instagram, Telegram or anywhere else.
• No means no, silence means no, and unmatching is an answer.
• Do not screenshot and share someone's profile, photos or messages.

These end an account, usually on the first offence:

• Anyone under 18, or any sexual content involving a minor. Reported to the authorities as well as removed.
• Harassment, threats, stalking, or contacting someone after they blocked you.
• Hate speech or slurs aimed at anyone's caste, religion, race, gender, sexuality, disability or nationality.
• Nudity or sexually explicit imagery in profiles or unsolicited in chat.
• Scams: investment tips, crypto, gift cards, emergencies that need money, or any request for a payment.
• Prostitution, trafficking, or the sale of anything illegal.
• Impersonation, catfishing, or a profile built from someone else's photos.
• Promotion — recruiting for a business, an MLM, a channel or a cause.
• Violence, self-harm content, or the encouragement of either.

• Blocking is instant and mutual: the match closes, the thread disappears from both inboxes, and neither profile appears in the other's Discover again.
• Reporting is separate and private. The person you report is never told who reported them.
• A person reviews every report. Serious safety reports jump the queue.
• Outcomes range from a warning to permanent removal, depending on what happened and what came before.
• Reports are kept even after an account is deleted, so a removed account cannot quietly come back.

Filing a knowingly false report to get someone removed is itself a violation of these guidelines.

Moderation involves judgement, and judgement is sometimes wrong. If your account was actioned and you believe it should not have been, email support@fryndo.com from the number or address on the account with anything that helps. A different person reviews the appeal. What we will not reverse is a removal for age (18+) or for content involving a minor.

• Video call before you meet. It is the cheapest way to confirm someone is who they say.
• First meeting in a public place, at a time you chose.
• Tell a friend where you are going and when you expect to be back.
• Arrange your own transport, both ways.
• Keep your drink with you, and leave the moment you want to.
• Never send money, gift cards or account details to someone you met online.
