Hookd Community Guidelines

Welcome to Hookd! Our community guidelines ("Guidelines") provide an overview of the values and expectations we have for our users when using our services, including our mobile applications, websites, and other online products and services (collectively, the "Services"). By using the Services, you agree to comply with these Guidelines. If you do not agree to these Guidelines, you may not use the Services.

1. Creating a Safe Environment

   At Hookd, we prioritize the safety of our community. We expect all users to treat others with respect and follow these guidelines:

   • Do not engage in harassment, hate speech, or discrimination.
   • Respect the boundaries and consent of others.
   • Report any inappropriate behavior or content to us.

2. Authenticity and Honesty

   We encourage our users to be genuine and honest in their interactions. To maintain authenticity, please adhere to the following:

   • Accurate Profile Information

     Use accurate and up-to-date information in your profile.

   • No Impersonation

     Do not impersonate or misrepresent yourself.

   • Relationship Status

     Hookd is designed for single individuals seeking connections. We require that you are honest about your relationship status. The app is not a platform for individuals who are married or in a committed relationship to engage in infidelity, nor is it tailored for polyamorous or non-monogamous relationships. Misrepresenting your relationship status violates our commitment to authenticity and may result in the termination of your account.

   • No Misleading Content

     Refrain from sharing false or misleading content.

   • Profile Photos

     To promote a genuine and trustworthy experience for all users, we require profile photos to be clear, recent, and depict the actual user. Photos that are overly edited, misleading (such as those using avatars, cartoon characters, or celebrities), or otherwise not representative of the user are prohibited. We recommend using a well-lit, close-up photo that clearly shows your face. This will help users feel more comfortable and confident when initiating connections and interactions on Hookd.

3. Respecting Personal Boundaries

   It is essential to respect personal boundaries when using our Services. Please consider the following guidelines:

   • Obtain consent before sharing personal information.
   • Do not pressure or coerce others into unwanted activities.
   • Respect users' decision to end communication or connection.

4. Prohibited Content and Behavior

   The following content and behavior are strictly prohibited on Hookd:

   • Explicit or pornographic material.
   • Illegal activities or substances.
   • Harassment, threats, or intimidation.
   • Solicitation of money or services.

5. Reporting and Blocking

   If you encounter any violations of our Guidelines or experience discomfort, we encourage you to report and block the user involved. We will review reports and take appropriate action when necessary.

6. Termination of Accounts

   Hookd reserves the right to suspend or terminate user accounts that violate our Guidelines or Terms of Service. We are committed to maintaining a safe and respectful community for all users.

7. Changes to the Guidelines

   Hookd may update these Guidelines from time to time. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the revised Guidelines on our website or through the Services. Your continued use of the Services after such notice constitutes your acceptance of the revised Guidelines.
