Introduction

At olameet.com, we are on a mission to inspire millions of users across the globe to foster meaningful connections without fear of rejection, judgment, and safety.

We are committed to giving users a safe and secure environment to connect with others and express themselves by building and protecting a one-to-one space that respects your privacy and safety. That said, we are aware the online world can also bring instances of misuse and abusive behaviour, and as such, we will take action based on our community guidelines and company values.

Our community guidelines define what is what is not allowed on the platform. They are set to encourage an open, authentic, and healthy discussion which contribute to building a safe environment where you can be yourself. Safety and trust are our number one priority, and we work hard every day to improve our technology and enforcement efforts to prevent and/or remove harmful content and behaviour whenever we become aware of it. In addition, we encourage you to report inappropriate behaviour or content you may come across so we can review it against our guidelines.

To help you report on content which you think may violate these guidelines, please follow the link on “How to Report” in our Safety Centre. Every time you flag something to us you help us make our community safer. Thank you for that!

Underage

Minors are not allowed on our platforms. We leverage state-of-the-art detection technology and our human resources to keep underage age users off our platform. Our age verification process uses artificial technology and a KYC review that provides us with a complete and holistic analysis of user profiles. Human moderators will review accounts flagged by our automated system or by user reports and take action accordingly.
