Community Guidelines

Flirty only works if people feel safe being themselves. These are the rules, in plain English. They're the same rules as Terms of Service §5, which is the version that binds — this page just says them the way a person would.

Break them and we may remove content, limit what you can do, suspend you, or close your account for good. Some things get you removed on the first offence.

You must be 18 or over

Flirty is an adults-only app. You need to be 18 to be here, and you must not help anyone under 18 get in. If you think an account belongs to someone under 18, report it — use Child safety as the reason. We'd much rather check and be wrong.

Be who you say you are

• Use your own photos. Not a model's, not a friend's, not someone you found online.
• One account, and it's yours. Don't impersonate anyone.
• Be honest about your age, who you are and what you're looking for. Being vague is fine; deceiving people isn't.

Keep it clean

Flirty is for meeting people, not an adult-content platform. No pornography, no nudity, no sexually explicit content — not in your profile, not in Discover, not in stories, and not in private messages either. Profile and public content should be fine for anyone to see.

Anything that goes public is screened automatically before it appears. Screening isn't perfect, so if you see something that breaks these rules anywhere on Flirty, report it.

Never, under any circumstances

These end an account immediately, and we report them where the law requires:

• Any sexual content involving under-18s, or content that sexualises them. Zero tolerance, no exceptions, no context in which this is acceptable.
• Sharing intimate images of someone who didn't consent — including hidden-camera content, sexual extortion, and deepfakes made to deceive or humiliate.
• Terrorist content, or anything glorifying or inciting terrorism or violent extremism.
• Content encouraging or instructing on suicide, self-harm, or eating disorders, including pro-anorexia and pro-bulimia material.
• Real-world extreme violence, gore, or animal cruelty shared for shock value.

Treat people decently

• No harassment, threats, stalking, bullying, doxxing, intimidation, exploitation or blackmail.
• No hate or discrimination based on race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, disability, age, gender, gender identity or sexual orientation.
• A blocked or unmatched person has said no. Don't come back through another account.

Don't run a con

No scams, romance fraud, phishing, spam, bot accounts, fake engagement or coordinated inauthentic behaviour. No soliciting or offering commercial sex, trafficking, illegal goods or services, weapons, controlled substances, counterfeits or prescription medicines.

Nobody you meet online needs your money. Not for a flight, not for a customs fee, not for a medical bill, not for an investment closing today. If money comes up, stop and report it.

Keep it on Flirty, and keep it you

No phone numbers, email addresses, social media handles or links to other apps in your profile, posts or stories. Swap details in a chat once you're comfortable. And post things that are actually you: no blank or broken uploads, screenshots or memes. We'll take these down, but they don't count as a strike.

Don't use Flirty as a shopfront

No advertising, recruiting, data brokering or political campaigning without our written permission. Don't scrape, crawl, reverse engineer, attack or work around the app, security controls, rate limits, age checks, moderation or payments.

Respect other people's stuff

Don't post content you don't have the rights to, and don't infringe anyone's intellectual property, privacy or confidentiality. If you think your copyright is being infringed on Flirty, tell us and we'll investigate — we act on properly made reports, we don't ask you to go to court first.

Reporting, and what happens next

You can report any account, message or piece of content from inside the app, and block anyone at any time. Blocking removes someone from your experience; reporting is what stops them doing it to somebody else. If someone has crossed a line, do both.

Reports go to a real moderation queue and are read by a person, and we act on every report within 24 hours. We have zero tolerance for objectionable content or abusive users. We won't give you a running commentary on what happens to another person's account, but your report is read. Depending on what we find we may remove content, restrict features, issue a warning, suspend or ban the account, preserve evidence, or contact the authorities. Where the law requires us to give notice, reasons or an appeal, we will.

What happens if you break the rules

Every confirmed violation is recorded against your account, and we tell you the rule involved and what happened. Depending on what we find and on your history, that can mean a warning, a temporary suspension, or a permanent ban. Repeated violations escalate, and older ones stop counting against you over time. You can see every violation on your record, the rule involved and what we sent you at any time in the app under Settings → Account status. Content we remove is deleted 30 days after the decision.

Some things lead straight to a permanent ban on the first confirmed violation: child safety, threats and violence, non-consensual or exploitative sexual content, terrorism and violent extremism, and scams. Only decisions confirmed by a person count — automated flags and unconfirmed reports never do. Two account checks are automatic: an account whose date of birth shows the person is under 18 is banned, and a restricted account that is deleted and signed up again gets the same restriction back. Both can be appealed.

Appeals

If we remove something of yours, suspend you or ban you, we tell you which rule was involved and why. You can appeal once per decision from inside the app — content decisions from your profile, account decisions from the restricted screen. Account appeals must be made within 30 days of the decision and are reviewed again by a person — where we can, by a moderator who was not involved in the original decision. We aim to answer content appeals within 24 hours and account appeals within 7 days, by email and in the app. If an appeal is upheld the violation is removed from your record and anything it caused is lifted. Appeal a content decision within 30 days, while the content still exists. If we spot a mistake ourselves, we may reverse a decision within 30 days without an appeal: we put the content back, remove the violation and tell you. While restricted you can still download a copy of your data or delete your account.

Unhappy with how we handled a report or a decision, or how we keep Flirty safe? Email support@flirtyapp.com with “Complaint” in the subject line — you don't need an account — and we'll look again and tell you what we decided.

If you're in danger

These guidelines are about what happens on Flirty. If you or someone else is at immediate risk, contact your local emergency services first — then tell us, so we can act on the account.

These rules can change

We'll update this page when the app or the law changes. The date at the top tells you which version you're reading. For the full legal position see the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.
