Community Guidelines

Last updated: 26 July 2026

fondly is for genuine, respectful international connections through live video while a Host takes part in a real activity outside the home. These rules apply to profiles, photos, messages, video, experiences, reports and transactions.

Be genuine

• Use your real age, identity and recent photos; do not impersonate, catfish or operate deceptive accounts.
• Describe yourself, the venue, activity, timing, accessibility, expected expenses and material risks accurately.
• Do not spam, manipulate discovery, fabricate engagement or misrepresent commercial intentions.

Respect consent, privacy and boundaries

• No harassment, threats, hate, bullying, stalking, coercion, blackmail or unwanted repeated contact.
• Accept “no,” a declined request, cancellation, block or stopped conversation immediately.
• Do not record, publish or share another member’s image, location, messages, call or personal information without permission.
• Do not discriminate on protected grounds or shame another person’s identity, body, disability or background.

Keep experiences lawful and safe

• Hosts must use appropriate public locations and follow local laws, venue rules and reasonable safety precautions.
• Hosts must obtain any licence, permit, venue permission, insurance, training and safety equipment required for the activity.
• Explorers join remotely. Do not present a fondly experience as an invitation or arrangement to meet the Host in person.
• No weapons, violence, dangerous stunts, illegal drugs, trafficking, gambling, criminal activity or instructions that create a serious risk of harm.
• Do not participate impaired, pressure anyone to consume alcohol or substances, reveal a private address or encourage unsafe conduct.
• Hosts independently carry out experiences; listing an experience does not mean fondly has inspected or endorsed it.

No sexual content or commercial sexual conduct

• No pornography, nudity, explicit sexual content, sexually gratifying experiences or unsolicited sexual messages or images.
• No sexual services, escorting, compensated dating, “sugar” arrangements, trafficking, grooming or solicitation.
• Never offer, request or imply sexual conduct in exchange for credits, reimbursement, money, gifts, travel, housing, support or anything of value.
• No non-consensual intimate content, sextortion or sexual exploitation.

Consensual relationships may develop privately between adults, but fondly’s experience, credit and reimbursement systems may not facilitate sexual activity.

No financial abuse or fraud

• Do not solicit loans, gifts, investments, cryptocurrency, credentials or off-platform payments.
• Receipts must be authentic, itemised and connected to the experience; claims must equal eligible amounts actually spent.
• Do not manipulate credits, message credits, prices, cancellations, currencies, payouts, refunds or chargebacks.

Protect adults and children

No one under 18 may use fondly. Never create, request, possess, share or facilitate child sexual abuse material, grooming or exploitation. See our Child Safety Standards. Content or conduct involving exploitation, trafficking, self-harm encouragement or a credible threat may be escalated to appropriate authorities.

Reporting, blocking and enforcement

Use the separate in-app Report and Block controls. Reports are not disclosed to the reported member, although authorised reviewers can see reporter information when necessary. fondly may remove content, restrict features, reverse improper transactions, suspend or remove accounts, preserve evidence and contact authorities. Serious or repeated violations may result in immediate removal. Abusive or knowingly false reports are prohibited.
