Acceptable Use Policy

Last updated: September 2026

SDA Match is a faith-based dating community for Seventh-day Adventist singles. This Acceptable Use Policy ("AUP") describes conduct and content that are prohibited on the App. It supplements, and is incorporated by reference into, our Terms of Service. Violating this AUP may result in content removal, suspension, or permanent termination of your account, and where appropriate, referral to law enforcement.

1. You Must Be 18 or Older

SDA Match is strictly limited to adults aged 18 and over. You may not use the App if you are under 18, and you may not allow any minor to access your account.

  • We have zero tolerance for any content or activity that sexualizes, endangers, or exploits a minor.
  • Content involving the sexual exploitation of minors (CSAM) is strictly prohibited and will be reported to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) and relevant authorities.
  • Do not solicit personal information from, or arrange to meet, anyone you know or believe to be under 18.

2. No Adult Content or Sexual Solicitation

SDA Match is not a platform for adult or sexually explicit material. You may not:

  • Post or share nude, pornographic, or sexually explicit images or text in your profile or messages.
  • Offer, advertise, or solicit prostitution, escort services, "sugar" arrangements, or any other sexual services in exchange for money or goods.
  • Use the App to direct members to external pornographic, webcam, or adult-content sites.
  • Send unsolicited sexual content or pressure another member into sexual conversation or contact.

3. No Sexual Violence or Non-Consensual Content

Sexual violence and non-consensual sexual conduct are strictly prohibited, whether or not the conduct is physically violent. You may not:

  • Engage in, threaten, or promote rape, sexual assault, or any non-consensual sexual act.
  • Share, post, or send non-consensual intimate imagery, including "revenge porn" — any nude, partially nude, or sexually explicit image or video of a person shared without that person's consent.
  • Coerce, pressure, blackmail, or threaten another member into sharing sexual content or engaging in sexual activity ("sextortion").
  • Record, photograph, or capture another person in a sexual or intimate context without their knowledge and consent.

4. No Human Trafficking or Sex Trafficking

SDA Match has zero tolerance for human trafficking and sex trafficking. You may not use the App, in any way, to:

  • Recruit, advertise, solicit, transport, harbor, or otherwise facilitate the trafficking of any person.
  • Engage in sex trafficking, or any forced, coerced, or fraudulent exploitation of another person for labor or commercial sex.
  • Advertise or arrange commercial sexual services, whether or not trafficking is involved (see Section 2).

These prohibitions apply regardless of whether the exploitation is for commercial gain. Accounts involved in, or reasonably suspected of, trafficking will be permanently removed and reported to law enforcement.

5. No Fraud, Scams, or Requests for Money

SDA Match is for genuine connection, not financial gain. You may not:

  • Engage in romance scams, "catfishing," or any scheme to deceive members for money or personal gain.
  • Solicit money, gifts, cryptocurrency, loans, donations, or financial information from other members.
  • Promote investment opportunities, multi-level marketing, or other commercial or promotional schemes.
  • Impersonate another person, use a false identity, or create fake or duplicate profiles.
  • Attempt to move payments or transactions off-platform to evade our safeguards.

6. No Harassment, Hate, or Illegal Activity

Treat every member with the respect and dignity our community is built on. You may not:

  • Harass, threaten, bully, stalk, or intimidate any member.
  • Post hate speech or content that attacks or demeans people based on race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, or other protected characteristic.
  • Share another person's private or identifying information without consent ("doxxing").
  • Aid, abet, encourage, or otherwise facilitate the abuse or exploitation of any person.
  • Promote, facilitate, or engage in any illegal activity, including the sale of illegal drugs, weapons, or stolen goods.
  • Post content that depicts or glorifies violence, self-harm, or terrorism.
  • Send spam, chain messages, or unsolicited bulk communications.

7. Account & Platform Integrity

To keep SDA Match safe and reliable, you may not:

  • Use bots, scrapers, or automated tools to access the App or collect member data.
  • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to accounts, systems, or data.
  • Interfere with, disrupt, or overload the App or its infrastructure.
  • Circumvent any safety, security, or content-moderation measure.

8. Reporting Violations

If you encounter a member or content that violates this policy, please report it using the in-app report tools or contact us at support@sdamatch.app. We review reports and take action, which may include warnings, content removal, suspension, or permanent removal from the community.

9. Enforcement

We may, in our sole discretion, remove content, restrict features, or suspend or terminate any account that violates this AUP, with or without notice. Serious violations — including those involving minors, trafficking, sexual violence, fraud, or illegal activity — may be reported to payment providers and law enforcement.

If your account is suspended, you'll see an appeal option directly in the App, reviewed by a human administrator. See "Account Suspension & Appeals" in our Privacy Policy for the full process.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Acceptable Use Policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes via the App or by email. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
