🤝 Community Guidelines

Creating a Safe, Respectful and Kind Space for Everyone on KindTalks

KindTalks is built on trust, empathy, and human connection. To ensure that every user feels safe, heard, and valued, we've created these Community Guidelines. By joining our platform, you agree to follow these rules in every conversation, profile interaction, and group exchange.

These rules apply to all users, regardless of age, background, or intention of use.

🔒 1. Safety Comes First

  • No harassment or bullying. This includes insults, threats, intimidation, name-calling, or any other behavior meant to make someone feel unsafe.
  • No discrimination. KindTalks is an inclusive space. Any form of racism, sexism, ableism, ageism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, or religious intolerance is strictly prohibited.
  • No inappropriate content or sexual advances. This includes sharing or asking for sexual content, making suggestive comments, or behaving in a way that could be considered sexual harassment — regardless of age.
  • No promotion of harm or self-injury. Discussions about mental health are welcome, but glorifying, encouraging, or enabling self-harm, eating disorders, or suicide is not permitted. If you're in crisis, please reach out to a local emergency service or crisis line.

🧑‍💻 2. Respect Boundaries

  • Consent matters. Always. If someone expresses discomfort, change the subject or end the conversation.
  • You can leave any conversation at any time. You do not need to explain why. Likewise, respect the other person's decision to do the same.
  • Avoid invasive questions. Asking personal details such as full name, address, phone number, school/workplace, or social media accounts is not allowed.
  • Don't pressure others to share. KindTalks is about voluntary connection. Let people open up in their own time.

📱 3. No Off-Platform Contact Requests

  • Do not ask other users to connect outside of KindTalks (e.g., Instagram, WhatsApp, email, etc.).
  • This is to protect user privacy, ensure safety, and maintain the platform's focus on intentional, respectful conversations.
  • Repeated attempts to take conversations off-platform may result in suspension or permanent account removal.

📚 4. Keep Conversations Purposeful and Kind

  • KindTalks is not a dating app. We are here for emotional connection, not romantic or sexual solicitation.
  • Stay open-minded and empathetic, even when speaking to someone very different from you.
  • Avoid dominating the conversation — listen as much as you speak.
  • Do not use KindTalks to sell, promote, or advertise services, products, events, or ideologies.
  • Stay on topic if you're part of a group discussion.

🕊️ 5. Privacy and Confidentiality

  • What's shared in a conversation stays there. Do not record, screenshot, or share conversations without explicit consent.
  • You are not allowed to impersonate anyone or provide false identity information.
  • Be mindful that the person you are speaking with may be in a vulnerable state. Respect their trust.

🚫 6. Zero Tolerance Policy

We take violations of these guidelines seriously. Depending on the severity, action may include:

  • A warning
  • Temporary suspension
  • Permanent ban
  • Reporting to appropriate authorities if legal boundaries are crossed

All users can report inappropriate behavior through the Report button or by contacting us directly at support@kindtalks.eu.

🧭 7. This Is a Living Document

As our community grows, so will our understanding of how to keep it safe. We may revise or update these guidelines. Users will be informed of major updates, and continued use of the platform constitutes agreement with the most recent version.
