Trust, Respect and Safety

Community Guidelines

Building a respectful community together

SintaConnect is built for adults seeking genuine, respectful, and meaningful relationships. Every member deserves to feel welcomed, protected, and free to build connections without pressure, deception, or abuse.

Effective date: July 27, 2026
🛡

Genuine connections require a safe community

Every member shares responsibility for protecting the SintaConnect community. Communicate honestly, respect boundaries, avoid manipulation, and report serious concerns.

These Guidelines apply to profiles, photographs, messages, reports, video content, account activity, in-person meetings, and conduct connected to relationships that begin through SintaConnect.

Our Foundation

1

SintaConnect Community Values

SintaConnect welcomes people from different backgrounds, cultures, and life experiences. Every member is expected to follow these four core values.

Honesty

Represent yourself truthfully, use your own information, and be clear about your relationship intentions.

Respect

Treat every member with dignity, even when you are not interested or when a conversation ends.

🛡

Safety

Protect personal information, report suspicious behavior, and never pressure another person to take risks.

Faith and Character

SintaConnect encourages sincerity, kindness, patience, responsibility, and meaningful relationship goals.

2

Adults Only

SintaConnect is strictly limited to adults who are at least 18 years old.

A person under 18 may not create an account, appear as the subject of a dating profile, send romantic messages, or participate in dating activity through the platform.

Members must report any account they reasonably believe belongs to a minor. SintaConnect may immediately suspend the account while the concern is investigated.

Sexual content involving a minor, someone represented as a minor, or someone who appears to be a minor is strictly prohibited and may be reported to the proper authorities.

3

Honest Profile Standards

Your profile should help other members understand who you genuinely are. Misleading profiles damage trust and may place others at risk.

  • Use your real identity and accurate personal information.
  • Use recent photographs that clearly represent you.
  • Do not use another person’s photographs without permission.
  • Do not heavily alter photographs in a way that misrepresents your appearance.
  • Do not pretend to live in a country, city, or region where you do not actually live.
  • Be truthful about your age, relationship status, intentions, and background.
  • Do not create a profile for another person.
  • Do not operate multiple personal accounts without written approval.
  • Do not include phone numbers, financial details, home addresses, passwords, or highly sensitive information in your public profile.
  • Do not use profile content to advertise unrelated products, services, websites, social accounts, or businesses.
4

Photo and Media Rules

Photographs and videos should represent you accurately and should support a safe, respectful dating environment.

  • Your main profile photo should clearly show your face.
  • Photos should be current and reasonably accurate.
  • You must have permission to upload every photo you share.
  • Group photos should not create confusion about which person is you.
  • Photos may not display nudity, explicit sexual activity, graphic violence, illegal drugs, hate symbols, or criminal activity.
  • Photos involving children should be used cautiously and must never place a child at risk.
  • Government identification, financial documents, boarding passes, private addresses, and other sensitive documents should never be uploaded as profile images.
  • SintaConnect may remove photographs that appear stolen, misleading, unsafe, inappropriate, or unrelated to a genuine member profile.
5

Respectful Communication

Interest must always be mutual. A member is never required to reply, continue a conversation, share personal information, or agree to meet.

  • Begin conversations respectfully and give the other member time to respond.
  • Accept rejection without arguing, insulting, threatening, or repeatedly contacting the person.
  • Do not send repeated messages after someone asks you to stop.
  • Do not pressure another member to move to another messaging platform.
  • Do not demand photographs, video calls, personal documents, or proof of affection.
  • Do not send unwanted sexual comments, explicit photographs, or graphic content.
  • Do not manipulate another member through guilt, fear, religion, loneliness, or promises of marriage.
  • Do not pressure someone to travel, meet privately, send money, or make major life decisions.
  • Keep disagreements calm and respectful.
  • Report serious safety concerns rather than confronting a suspected scammer alone.
6

Consent and Personal Boundaries

Consent must be freely given, informed, specific, and reversible. Silence, previous interest, a relationship, financial assistance, travel, gifts, or marriage discussions do not create permanent consent.

A member may stop a conversation or relationship at any time. You must respect that decision.

Do not pressure another person to send intimate photographs, perform sexual acts, meet privately, reveal personal information, share passwords, or make financial commitments.

Threatening to publish private photographs, messages, or personal information is prohibited and may be reported to law enforcement.

7

Prohibited Conduct

The following conduct is not permitted on SintaConnect or in connection with a relationship formed through the platform.

Romance Scams and Financial Fraud

Requesting money, gift cards, cryptocurrency, banking information, account access, investments, travel funds, medical payments, emergency payments, visa fees, or other financial support through deception is prohibited.

Fake Profiles and Impersonation

Using stolen photographs, false names, fake biographies, misleading locations, fabricated occupations, or another person’s identity is prohibited.

Harassment and Threats

Bullying, stalking, intimidation, blackmail, repeated unwanted contact, threats of harm, and attempts to shame or control another member are prohibited.

Hate and Discrimination

Content or conduct that attacks, degrades, excludes, or threatens people based on race, nationality, ethnicity, religion, sex, gender, disability, age, or another protected characteristic is prohibited.

Sexual Exploitation

Prostitution, trafficking, coercive sexual activity, sexual blackmail, paid sexual arrangements, and exploitation of vulnerable people are prohibited.

Minors

Anyone under 18 is prohibited from using SintaConnect. Sexual content involving a minor or someone who appears to be a minor will be removed and may be reported to authorities.

Spam and Solicitation

Mass messaging, repetitive promotion, unauthorized advertising, recruiting, fundraising, referral spam, and attempts to move members to unrelated services are prohibited.

Illegal Activity

SintaConnect may not be used to plan, encourage, facilitate, or conceal unlawful activity.

Platform Abuse

Scraping profiles, harvesting data, using bots, attempting unauthorized access, bypassing restrictions, spreading malware, or interfering with platform systems is prohibited.

Protect Yourself

Romance Scam Warning Signs

Fraudsters often build emotional trust before asking for money or personal information. Slow down when something feels rushed, secretive, inconsistent, or financially focused.

  • The person quickly declares love or promises marriage before building genuine trust.
  • The person refuses reasonable video calls or repeatedly creates excuses.
  • The person’s photographs appear inconsistent or too polished to match the profile.
  • The person asks for money, gift cards, cryptocurrency, travel funds, phone credits, medical help, visa fees, or emergency assistance.
  • The person asks for bank details, passwords, identity documents, or verification codes.
  • The person pressures you to leave SintaConnect immediately.
  • The person claims every emergency must remain secret.
  • The person asks you to receive, transfer, or hold money on their behalf.
  • The person offers an investment opportunity or guaranteed financial return.
  • The person becomes angry, threatening, or emotionally manipulative when you ask questions.

Never send money to someone you have only met online.

SintaConnect will never require you to send money, cryptocurrency, gift cards, passwords, or banking credentials to another member.

9

Money, Gifts, and Financial Requests

Members should never use affection, religion, marriage, family emergencies, travel plans, medical claims, or immigration promises to pressure another member into sending money.

Asking for financial support is not automatically proof of fraud, but repeated requests, false emergencies, secret transfers, investment opportunities, gift cards, cryptocurrency, and requests to move money are serious warning signs.

Do not allow another member to use your bank account, payment account, credit card, mailing address, identity, or financial reputation.

SintaConnect may restrict or remove accounts involved in suspicious financial activity even when no criminal charge has been filed.

10

Faith and Respect

SintaConnect is shaped by Christian values, including honesty, compassion, patience, responsibility, and respect.

Members may discuss faith and personal beliefs, but they may not shame, threaten, manipulate, or pressure another person through religion.

Claims that God requires another member to send money, enter a relationship, marry, travel, provide documents, or ignore safety concerns are unacceptable.

Respectful disagreement is allowed. Hate, humiliation, spiritual intimidation, and attacks on another member’s beliefs are not.

11

Meeting in Person

SintaConnect does not arrange, supervise, approve, or guarantee in-person meetings. Members are responsible for their own decisions and safety.

Before meeting someone:

  • Take enough time to build trust.
  • Use a video call to help confirm identity.
  • Meet in a populated public location.
  • Tell a trusted friend or family member where you are going.
  • Keep control of your transportation and travel documents.
  • Do not depend on the other person for money, lodging, or transportation.
  • Do not leave drinks, belongings, devices, or identification unattended.
  • Leave immediately if you feel unsafe or pressured.

Contact local emergency services if you believe you or another person is in immediate danger.

Reporting a Member

Report a member when you reasonably believe the person is violating these Guidelines, attempting fraud, harassing someone, using a fake identity, threatening harm, or creating a serious safety risk.

A useful report should include the specific concern, relevant messages, dates, profile details, and any additional information that may help an investigation.

Do not knowingly submit false, retaliatory, or malicious reports. Misusing the reporting system may result in action against your own account.

Reports are reviewed based on the information reasonably available. SintaConnect may not always be able to confirm every allegation.

13

What Happens After a Report

Authorized staff may review the profile, report details, relevant messages, account history, previous warnings, subscription activity, technical records, and moderation history.

Staff may contact the reporting member or reported member for additional information when appropriate.

SintaConnect may preserve relevant information while an investigation is active or when retention is needed for legal, fraud-prevention, or safety purposes.

The identity of a reporting member will generally remain confidential unless disclosure is required by law or necessary in a formal legal proceeding.

SintaConnect is not required to disclose internal staff notes, confidential evidence, security methods, or the complete details of an investigation.

14

Enforcement Actions

The action taken depends on the seriousness of the conduct, available evidence, prior history, member safety, legal obligations, and the risk of future harm.

Content Removal

Photographs, profile text, messages, or other content may be removed when they violate these Guidelines or create safety concerns.

Account Warning

A member may receive a written warning explaining the concern and the behavior that must stop.

Feature Restriction

Messaging, profile visibility, uploads, Premium features, or other account functions may be temporarily limited.

Temporary Suspension

An account may be temporarily disabled while a report is reviewed or when serious misconduct is identified.

Permanent Ban

Serious, repeated, fraudulent, exploitative, threatening, or illegal conduct may result in permanent removal.

Authority Referral

SintaConnect may preserve evidence and contact law enforcement, emergency services, payment providers, or appropriate organizations when necessary.

15

Warning Levels

Standard

Standard Warning

Used when behavior needs correction but does not currently justify stronger account restrictions.

Serious

Serious Warning

Used for significant misconduct, repeated violations, or behavior that creates meaningful concern.

Final

Final Warning

Used when another violation may result in immediate suspension or permanent removal.

SintaConnect is not required to use every warning level before suspending or banning an account. Severe conduct may result in immediate permanent removal.

16

Suspension and Permanent Removal

An account may be suspended while SintaConnect reviews a report, verifies identity, investigates financial activity, or evaluates a serious safety concern.

Permanent removal may occur for romance scams, stolen identity, threats, blackmail, exploitation, trafficking, child-safety violations, repeated harassment, illegal activity, ban evasion, or other severe misconduct.

A banned person may not create another account without written permission from SintaConnect.

SintaConnect may retain limited identity, security, moderation, payment, and technical information to prevent ban evasion and protect the community.

Losing an account due to a violation does not create a right to a refund except where required by law.

17

Appeals and Review Requests

A member may contact SintaConnect to request review of a warning, restriction, suspension, or ban.

An appeal should explain why the decision may be incorrect and include relevant facts or supporting information.

Appeals that contain threats, harassment, false statements, repeated spam, or attempts to intimidate staff may be closed without further response.

A review does not guarantee that an action will be changed. SintaConnect may uphold, modify, or reverse the original decision.

18

Premium Members Follow the Same Rules

Premium membership provides additional platform features. It does not provide special treatment during safety reviews or moderation.

Premium members may be warned, restricted, suspended, or permanently removed under the same standards that apply to Free members.

Paying for a membership does not create a right to harass, pressure, advertise to, or repeatedly contact another person.

19

Staff Responsibility and Access

Authorized owners, administrators, employees, and contractors may access member information only when reasonably necessary for their assigned duties.

Staff may review reports, moderation history, warnings, account status, relevant messages, subscription status, and supporting evidence when performing authorized work.

Staff members may not access private information for personal curiosity, personal relationships, retaliation, or unrelated purposes.

Administrative actions may be recorded to maintain accountability and preserve a permanent moderation history.

20

Off-Platform Conduct

SintaConnect does not monitor every interaction that occurs outside the platform.

However, serious off-platform conduct may affect account access when it is connected to a SintaConnect relationship or creates a credible risk to members.

Relevant conduct may include threats, fraud, stalking, blackmail, sexual exploitation, violence, impersonation, trafficking, or attempts to evade a SintaConnect ban.

Members may submit evidence of serious off-platform misconduct for review.

21

No Guarantee of a Match or Relationship

SintaConnect provides tools for discovery and communication. It does not guarantee replies, matches, compatibility, engagement, marriage, immigration approval, travel, financial support, or any particular relationship outcome.

Members make their own decisions and remain responsible for verifying information, setting boundaries, and protecting their safety.

A Premium membership does not guarantee increased attention or romantic success.

22

Changes to These Guidelines

SintaConnect may update these Guidelines as the platform, safety systems, laws, and community needs change.

The effective date will be updated when revisions are published. Additional notice may be provided when a change is material.

Continued use of SintaConnect after updated Guidelines become effective means you agree to follow the revised rules.

23

Help Protect the Community

Report suspicious, threatening, fraudulent, exploitative, or unsafe behavior as soon as possible.

For immediate danger, contact local emergency services first. SintaConnect is not an emergency response service.

Do not include passwords, complete payment-card numbers, or unnecessary sensitive documents when contacting us.
