Community Guidelines

This document is a template prepared for Kilig and must be reviewed by qualified legal counsel before launch.

Last updated: November 8, 2026

Kilig is a place for adults who want to meet people with intention, kindness, and honesty. These Community Guidelines describe what that looks like in practice. They apply to everything you do on Kilig, including your profile, photos, messages, voice messages, and calls, and in some cases to how you treat people you met on Kilig offline.

These guidelines are part of our Terms of Service. When someone breaks them, we may remove content, restrict features, or remove the account. If you see something that doesn't belong here, please report it. You'll never get in trouble for reporting in good faith.

Be yourself

Kilig works when people can trust that the person they're talking to is real.

• Use your own identity. Don't pretend to be someone else, whether that's a celebrity, a friend, an ex, or a made-up person. Don't create profiles on behalf of other people.
• Use real, recent photos of you. Your photos should clearly show you and reflect how you look today. Group photos are fine as long as it's clear which person is you. Filters that change how you look in significant ways, heavily edited images, and AI-generated photos of yourself aren't allowed. See Photo guidelines.
• Be honest about the basics. Your age, relationship status, and intentions should be accurate. If you're in a relationship, make sure your profile and conversations are honest about it.
• One account per person. Don't create multiple accounts or a new account after we've removed one.

Be kind and respectful

Everyone deserves to feel welcome here, whatever their gender, identity, background, or body.

• Treat people the way you'd want to be treated. Disagreement and disinterest are normal; cruelty isn't.
• Take no for an answer. If someone doesn't reply, unmatches, or says they're not interested, let it go. Don't contact them through other accounts or platforms.
• Respect boundaries. Ask before you send anything personal, and stop if someone asks you to.
• Don't body-shame or insult people for how they look, what they believe, or who they are.

No harassment, hate, or threats

We don't allow behavior that intimidates, degrades, or endangers people. This includes:

• Harassment, bullying, stalking, or repeated unwanted contact
• Hate speech or content that attacks or demeans people based on race, ethnicity, national origin, caste, religion, disability, disease, sex, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, age, or immigration status, including slurs and hateful symbols
• Threats of violence or harm, including "jokes" about hurting someone
• Sharing or threatening to share someone's private information or intimate images without their consent
• Pressuring or coercing anyone into anything, sexual or otherwise

Keep profiles free of nudity and sexual content

Your profile is visible to many people, so keep it suitable for a general adult audience.

• No nudity or partial nudity in profile photos or videos, including sheer clothing that reveals intimate areas.
• No sexually explicit content, sexual acts, or sexually suggestive poses in your profile.
• No sexual content in messages unless both people have clearly agreed. Unsolicited sexual images or messages are never okay.
• Swimwear and beach photos are fine when they're in a natural setting.

No solicitation

Kilig is for genuine connection, not transactions.

• No escort services, commercial sex, or offers of payment for dates or companionship.
• No "sugar" arrangements or any relationship framed around money, gifts, or financial support.
• No human trafficking or sexual exploitation of any kind. We report suspected trafficking to the authorities.

No scams or requests for money

Romance scams cause real financial and emotional harm, and we take them extremely seriously.

• Never ask other members for money, gift cards, cryptocurrency, bank details, or help with fees, emergencies, or travel costs.
• No investment or trading pitches, including cryptocurrency, foreign exchange, "guaranteed" returns, or links to trading apps.
• No phishing, fake links, or attempts to get someone's passwords, verification codes, or personal information.

If someone asks you for money, it's a scam. Please report them. Learn the warning signs in Recognizing scams.

No spam or promotion

• Don't advertise or sell anything, including products, services, events, or other apps and websites.
• Don't use Kilig to grow your followers. Don't put social media handles, phone numbers, or links in your profile with the goal of moving people elsewhere or gaining an audience.
• No bots, automation, or mass messaging.
• No political campaigning or recruiting for organizations or causes.

Adults only (18+)

You must be 18 or older to use Kilig. We remove accounts that belong to anyone under 18.

• Don't post photos of children alone. Photos with children are only allowed if you're in them too, and they should be appropriately dressed.
• We have zero tolerance for any content that sexualizes minors. We remove it, ban the account, and report it to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) and law enforcement as required.

If you think someone on Kilig is under 18, please report their profile.

No violence or promotion of self-harm

• Don't post content that shows, celebrates, or encourages violence, including graphic images of injury, weapons used to intimidate, or violent extremism.
• Don't promote, encourage, or give instructions for suicide, self-harm, or eating disorders.
• Don't promote illegal drugs or the sale of regulated goods.

If you're struggling or thinking about harming yourself, you are not alone, and help is available right now. Contact a crisis line or your local emergency services; our crisis and emergency resources page lists free, confidential support by country. If you're worried about someone you've met on Kilig, you can also let us know at safety@tinder.zowebo.com.

Meet safely

When you're ready to meet someone in person, take care of yourself.

• Video chat first, and meet in a busy public place.
• Tell a friend where you're going and who you're meeting.
• Arrange your own transportation and stay aware of how much you're drinking.
• Leave whenever you want to. You never owe anyone a second drink or a ride home.

Our guidelines also apply offline: if a member harms someone they met on Kilig, we may remove their account even if it didn't happen on the app. Read our full Safety Tips.

How we enforce these guidelines

We use a combination of automated screening, member reports, and review by our Trust & Safety team. We look at the context of each situation, including how serious it is, whether it was intentional, and whether it has happened before.

Our enforcement ladder

Most violations are handled with escalating steps:

1. Warning. We remove the content (if needed) and let you know which guideline it broke.
2. Suspension. We temporarily restrict or suspend your account, usually for a set period.
3. Ban. We permanently remove your account and take steps to prevent you from creating a new one.

Serious violations can lead to an immediate ban without a warning. These include content involving minors, threats of violence, sexual assault or exploitation, trafficking, scams and financial fraud, and repeated or coordinated harassment. In the most serious cases, we also cooperate with law enforcement.

You can see your account's standing at any time in Settings → Account status (/app/settings/account-status).

How to report

Reporting is confidential: we never tell someone who reported them.

1. Open the person's profile or your chat with them.
2. Tap the ••• menu and choose Report.
3. Pick the reason that fits best and add any details you'd like to share.
4. Choose whether to block the person at the same time.

You can also report someone after you've unmatched them, report something that happened on a date, or email safety@tinder.zowebo.com. If you are in immediate danger, contact your local emergency services first (find the number on our crisis and emergency resources page). Learn more in Report someone.

How to appeal

If you think we made a mistake, you can ask us to take another look.

1. Go to Settings → Account status.
2. Select the decision you'd like reviewed and tap Request a review.
3. Tell us what happened and why you think the decision was wrong.

A member of our team who wasn't involved in the original decision will review your appeal. If your account is banned, sign in to see your status screen and appeal from there, or email safety@tinder.zowebo.com. See Appeals for details.

Questions

These guidelines will evolve as our community grows. If you have questions or feedback, email safety@tinder.zowebo.com. Thank you for helping make Kilig a kind and safe place to meet people.
