WivMe — Community Guidelines

Welcome to WivMe!

WivMe helps adults connect with others to enjoy shared activities, whether that's a walk, a sporting event, a coffee, a class, a cultural event, or a community meet-up.

Our goal is to create a welcoming, trustworthy, and safe community where people can build genuine friendships and enjoy meaningful experiences together.

These Community Guidelines form part of our Terms of Service. By using WivMe, you agree to follow them. If you breach these guidelines, we may remove content, restrict access to features, suspend your account, or permanently remove you from the platform.

These Community Guidelines apply when you use WivMe through our website, web app or mobile applications for iOS and Android.

What WivMe Is For

WivMe is a platform for finding platonic activity companions and social connections.

WivMe is not:

• A dating or matchmaking platform

• A place for romantic or sexual interactions

• A marketplace for goods or services

• A fundraising platform

• A counselling, crisis support, or emergency service

• To be used for political, protest or similar activities.

We encourage users to connect through shared interests and activities, with the aim of fostering friendship, companionship, and community.

Our Community Principles

To help everyone have a positive experience, we ask all members to follow these principles:

Be Respectful

Treat everyone with courtesy, kindness, and consideration. Differences of opinion are natural, but personal attacks, intimidation, and hostility are not acceptable.

Be Honest

Use your real identity and provide accurate information about yourself. Your profile photo, description, and activity information should reflect who you are.

Be Inclusive

WivMe welcomes people of all backgrounds, identities, abilities, beliefs, and life experiences. Everyone deserves to feel respected and included.

Be Reliable

If you commit to an activity or event, make every effort to attend. If your plans change, let people know as early as possible.

Help Create a Safe Community

Look out for one another, respect personal boundaries, and use the reporting tools if something does not feel right.

Prohibited Behaviour

The following behaviour is not permitted on WivMe:

Romantic or Sexual Conduct

WivMe is strictly a platonic platform.

You must not:

• Use WivMe to seek dates, romantic partners, or sexual relationships

• Send romantic or sexual messages

• Make unwanted advances or flirtatious comments

• Share sexually explicit content or imagery

• Pressure anyone into personal, intimate, or private interactions

Harassment and Abuse

You must not:

• Bully, intimidate, threaten, or harass others

• Use abusive, aggressive, or offensive language

• Engage in stalking, unwanted contact, or persistent messaging

• Target users on or off the platform as a result of connections made through WivMe

Hate and Discrimination

You must not:

• Use hateful, discriminatory, or degrading language

• Promote prejudice, exclusion, or hostility

• Attack individuals or groups based on protected characteristics or personal attributes

Unsafe or Harmful Behaviour

You must not:

• Encourage dangerous activities

• Share graphic violence, disturbing content, or material intended to shock or distress others

• Endanger another person's physical, emotional, or financial wellbeing

• Exploit, manipulate, deceive, or take advantage of vulnerable individuals

We operate a zero-tolerance approach to predatory behaviour.

Child Safety and Sexual Exploitation

WivMe is an adults-only platform for people aged 18 and over. We have zero tolerance for child sexual abuse and exploitation (CSAE). Users must not create, upload, share, request, solicit, promote, distribute or facilitate content or behaviour involving the sexual abuse or exploitation of a child. This includes child sexual abuse material (CSAM), grooming, sexual solicitation of minors, trafficking, or requesting or sharing sexual images involving anyone under 18.

If you encounter content or behaviour that may involve the abuse or exploitation of a child, report it immediately using WivMe's in-app reporting tools.

WivMe may remove content, restrict or terminate accounts, preserve relevant information where lawful and necessary, and report suspected or confirmed child sexual abuse or exploitation to the appropriate law-enforcement or child-protection authorities in accordance with applicable law.

Where WivMe becomes aware of CSAM, we will take appropriate action, including removing the content and making any reports required by law to the relevant authority.

Privacy Violations

You must not:

• Share another person's personal information without their consent

• Publish private conversations, contact details, locations, or photographs without permission

• Attempt to obtain personal information through deception

Fraud and Misrepresentation

You must not:

• Impersonate another individual

• Create fake accounts or misleading profiles

• Use someone else's phone number, identity, or information

• Mislead others about who you are or why you are using WivMe

Commercial Activities

Unless specifically approved by WivMe, you must not:

• Advertise products or services

• Promote businesses or events for commercial gain

• Recruit for multi-level marketing schemes (MLMs)

• Request loans, donations, investments, or financial contributions

• Use the platform for sales or lead generation

Illegal Activity

You must not use WivMe to arrange, promote, facilitate, or participate in illegal activity of any kind.

Protecting Vulnerable Members

WivMe is designed to help combat loneliness and social isolation, and many members may be older adults or otherwise vulnerable.

We take the protection of vulnerable users extremely seriously.

Behaviour that seeks to manipulate, exploit, pressure, deceive, or financially benefit from vulnerable members may result in immediate account removal and, where appropriate, referral to relevant authorities.

Staying Safe When Meeting in Person

Meeting new people should be enjoyable, but it's important to take sensible precautions. We recommend that you:

• Meet in public places, particularly when meeting someone for the first time

• Tell a trusted friend or family member where you are going and who you are meeting

• Use WivMe's safety and check-in features

• Share personal information gradually and only when you feel comfortable

• Use WivMe's staged location-sharing tools rather than sharing your home address

• Trust your instincts and leave if a situation feels unsafe

If you believe you are in immediate danger, call 999 or your local emergency services. While WivMe provides safety tools and moderation measures, we cannot guarantee the actions of individual users. Members remain responsible for their own decisions and conduct.

Reporting and Blocking

If someone breaks these guidelines or makes you feel unsafe, uncomfortable, or unwelcome, please report or block them using the tools available within the app. Reports are handled confidentially and reviewed by trained members of our team. We may also use automated systems to identify potentially harmful content, suspicious behaviour, or breaches of these guidelines. Following a review, we may:

• Remove content

• Issue warnings

• Restrict account features

• Temporarily suspend accounts

• Permanently remove users from the platform

Where required by law, we may share information with law enforcement or regulatory authorities. If you believe we have made a mistake, you may be able to appeal certain moderation decisions.

Urgent safety concerns: safety@wivme.app

Immediate danger: Call 999

Enforcement

We assess each situation based on:

• The seriousness of the conduct

• The risk posed to individuals or the community

• The user's history and previous violations

• Whether the behaviour was intentional or repeated

Some violations, particularly those involving predatory behaviour, harassment, sexual misconduct, fraud, exploitation, or threats to safety, may result in immediate and permanent removal from WivMe.

A Final Word

WivMe exists to help people build friendships, discover new experiences, and feel part of a community. Before posting, messaging, or organising an activity, ask yourself:

"Will this help someone feel safe, respected, included, and welcome?"

If the answer is yes, you're helping make WivMe the kind of community people will love being part of.
