This is how we keep Zupp safe, kind, and fun for everyone.
Last updated: 2025-12-12
Zupp is a place to meet new people and build real friendships. To keep it safe for everyone – especially teenagers – we use these Community Guidelines.
By using Zupp, you agree to follow these rules. They apply to everything you do on Zupp: your profile, photos, interests, messages, and any other content you share.
If someone breaks these guidelines, we may warn them, restrict features, remove content, or suspend or ban their account. In serious cases, especially involving minors, threats, or exploitation, we may also contact law enforcement.
We use a mix of user reports, automated systems, and manual review to keep Zupp safe. We also update these guidelines from time to time as the app grows.
Overview
Zupp is built for connection, not chaos. Everyone on Zupp deserves to feel safe, respected, and in control of their experience.
These guidelines explain what is not allowed on Zupp and what may lead to content removal or account action. They sit alongside our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.
If you ever feel uncomfortable or see something that breaks these rules, please report it and, if needed, block the user. We review reports and take action where appropriate.

Protect minors
Zupp uses age-based safety rules. Teens (ages 13–17) and adults (18+) have separate discovery pools. We do not show adults to teens or teens to adults.
Any attempt to bypass this, such as lying about your age or creating fake accounts, is a serious violation of our rules and may lead to a permanent ban and, where applicable, reports to law enforcement.
No contact between teens and adults
Teens and adults must not interact on Zupp. Our systems are designed to separate age groups, and users must respect this.
If you are 18 or older, you must not try to talk to users who are under 18.
If you are under 18, you must not try to talk to users who are 18 or older.
You must not lie about your age, use another person’s account, or create extra accounts to bypass age rules.

Posting explicit material in any space where minors are present.

Sending or requesting sexual content, even with someone your own age.
Engaging in sexual conversations or dares.

We use a mix of human review, user reports, and automated tools to detect and respond to harmful behavior. But keeping Zupp safe is not just our job – it’s yours too.
If you ever feel uncomfortable or see something that breaks these rules, please report it and consider blocking the user. Speaking up helps protect you and other people on Zupp.
We review and update these guidelines as Zupp grows and new issues appear. Please check back from time to time so you know what is expected.
