Community Guidelines
Real people. Genuine connections.
Zefy brings people together across cities, countries, and cultures. We believe meaningful connections begin with authenticity, mutual respect, and trust.
Our Community Guidelines help make Zefy a safe, welcoming, and enjoyable place for everyone. They apply to all profiles, content, and interactions on Zefy, including messages, Blind Dates, and audio and video calls.
By using Zefy, you agree to follow these guidelines. Violations may result in content removal, feature restrictions, account suspension, or permanent removal from the platform.
1. Be Yourself
Zefy is for real people looking for genuine connections.
Use your own identity and accurate profile information.
Don’t impersonate others, including celebrities or public figures.
Don’t create fake, misleading, or deceptive profiles.
Don’t use AI-generated, stolen, or manipulated images to misrepresent your identity.
Maintain only one account and don’t share it with others.
Your profile should represent who you really are.
2. Use Authentic Profile Media
Your photos and videos should help others get to know the real you.
Upload at least two genuine photos or videos of yourself.
Don’t use stock images, celebrity photos, screenshots, advertisements, or unrelated images as profile media.
Don’t use AI-generated images, illustrations, digitally created artwork, or heavily stylized media, even if they feature your real face.
Don’t use heavily edited or manipulated media that misrepresent your appearance.
Make sure your face is clearly visible in your first profile photo or video.
Don’t upload duplicate photos or videos.
Don’t upload media featuring other people without their permission.
Media that doesn’t meet these standards, or that we determine does not provide an authentic representation of your appearance, may be removed. Accounts without suitable profile media may have certain features restricted until compliant media is provided.
3. Respect Personal Boundaries
Everyone deserves to feel comfortable and respected.
Respect other people’s choices, boundaries, and decisions.
Don’t send unsolicited sexual content or pressure anyone into sexual conversations.
Don’t repeatedly contact someone who has expressed disinterest.
Don’t pressure others to share personal information, photos, or contact details.
Accept rejection gracefully and move on.
Consent and mutual respect matter in every interaction.
4. Keep Public Content Appropriate
Your public profile should be suitable for a diverse, international community.
Don’t post nudity, pornography, or sexually explicit content.
Don’t advertise sexual services or solicit sexual encounters.
Don’t include offensive, threatening, or excessively provocative content.
Don’t display personal contact information, social media handles, or external links intended to redirect users away from Zefy.
Private conversations should also respect consent, safety, and applicable laws.
5. Treat Others with Respect
Different backgrounds, cultures, and perspectives make our community stronger.
Don’t harass, bully, intimidate, threaten, or humiliate others.
Don’t engage in hate speech or discrimination.
Don’t target people based on their race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, appearance, or other personal characteristics.
Don’t stalk, blackmail, or attempt to expose someone’s private information.
Don’t misuse reporting tools to target or retaliate against other users.
Disagreements are natural. Abuse is not.
6. Protect Privacy and Personal Information
Your privacy and the privacy of others matter.
Don’t publicly share sensitive personal or financial information.
Don’t request passwords, banking details, verification codes, or other confidential information.
Don’t publish or distribute someone else’s private messages, photos, recordings, or personal information without permission.
Don’t pressure others to move conversations to external platforms.
Don’t repeatedly or prematurely redirect new connections to external messaging platforms, especially before establishing a genuine conversation on Zefy.
Be cautious when sharing personal details with people you have just met. Attempts to move conversations off Zefy too quickly can be a warning sign of scams or fraudulent activity. For your safety, we encourage you to get to know people on Zefy before moving to other platforms. Check out the Safety Tips available in the app for more advice on staying safe while meeting new people.

Don’t engage in phishing, fraud, identity theft, or other deceptive activities.
Don’t manipulate relationships to obtain money, personal information, or other benefits.
We take suspected scams and financial exploitation seriously.
8. No Advertising or Commercial Activity
Zefy is a dating community, not a marketplace.
Don’t advertise products, businesses, websites, or services.
Don’t use your profile or conversations to gain followers or promote external platforms.
Don’t solicit paid relationships, escort services, or other compensated companionship.
Don’t send promotional messages or unsolicited commercial content.
Use Zefy to meet people, not customers.

12. Respect Verification and Safety Measures
Zefy uses automated systems and human moderation to protect the community.
Follow profile media requirements and verification instructions.
Don’t attempt to falsify photo verification or impersonate another person during verification.
Don’t use misleading information or technical workarounds to circumvent safety checks.
Cooperate with reasonable requests to update your profile or verify your identity when needed to resolve safety concerns.
Photo verification is optional, but certain features may be available only to verified users. Accounts that cannot meet our authenticity or safety requirements may have limited access to some features.
Reporting Violations
If you encounter behavior or content that violates these guidelines, please report it using the reporting tools available in Zefy or contact our support team.
Reports help us identify potential violations and protect the community. We review reports and take appropriate action when necessary.
Submitting a report does not automatically mean that the reported user has violated our rules.
Moderation and Account Restrictions
To protect our community, Zefy uses automated safety systems alongside human moderation.
Depending on the nature, severity, and frequency of a potential violation, we may:
Remove or reject profile content.
Limit access to certain features.
Reduce profile visibility.
Temporarily deactivate an account pending review.
Request profile updates or photo verification.
Suspend or permanently ban an account.
Some restrictions may be applied automatically while an account is being reviewed. An automated restriction does not necessarily mean that a violation has been confirmed.
Serious or repeated violations may result in immediate account termination without a prior warning.
We may also take action based on credible evidence of harmful conduct outside Zefy involving people connected through our platform.
If your account has been restricted, you can contact our support team to request clarification or review. For security and privacy reasons, we may not disclose specific detection methods, internal risk signals, or information about other users.
We cannot guarantee that every restriction will be reversed.
Keeping Our Community Safe
These guidelines cover the most important expectations for using Zefy but cannot anticipate every form of harmful or deceptive behavior.
We may update them as our community grows and new safety challenges emerge. We may also take proportionate action against behavior that clearly undermines user safety, authenticity, or trust, even when it is not explicitly described above.
Our goal is simple: a community where real people can connect across the world with confidence.
