Version 1.1 | Effective May 10, 2026
Northgiven is for adults who want serious romantic connection, committed partnership, or marriage-minded dating. We welcome people across genders, sexual orientations, identities, and relationship structures, including monogamous users and those in consensually non-monogamous arrangements.
Northgiven is not an emergency service. If someone is in immediate danger, contact local emergency services first. Then report the account to Northgiven when it is safe to do so.
These standards cover your profile, photos, messages, linked profiles, reports, support interactions, and any off-platform conduct clearly tied to Northgiven. These standards may also apply to off-platform conduct when it involves a Northgiven connection, a planned meeting, threats, stalking, harassment, extortion, fraud, sexual exploitation, child safety, or an attempt to bypass Northgiven's safety tools.
Five things we hold as true: make truth easier, make repair normal, make dignity default, make ownership unavoidable, make manipulation unnecessary.
Own your identity. Your photos must show the real person using this account. Be honest about your age, your intent, and your relationship structure. If you're dating with a partner, say so.
No impersonation. No fake accounts, backup accounts, AI-generated profiles, deepfakes, or photos taken from someone else.
No means no. Silence is not consent. A match is not consent. A conversation is not consent. A date is not consent.
Do not continue contact after someone says no, unmatches, blocks you, asks for space, or ends contact. Do not use another account, phone number, social account, friend, partner, or linked profile to get around someone's boundary.
No pressure, guilt-tripping, cornering, or sexual escalation after someone hesitates or declines. Do not pressure anyone to move off-platform, link or relink accounts, disclose private relationship structure, share photos or location, meet in private, or explain why they're rejecting you.
Do not share someone's private information without permission. Do not post or threaten to post screenshots, messages, images, or location data to harm or coerce. No doxxing, stalking, blackmail, or extortion.
Do not use Northgiven to investigate, expose, shame, or monitor someone. Private disclosures stay private.
Do not upload, request, threaten to share, describe, trade, or distribute intimate images or videos of another person without consent. This includes real images, altered images, AI-generated images, deepfakes, screenshots, private messages, and sexual content shared in confidence.
If intimate content of you appears on Northgiven without your consent, report it in-app or email safety@northgiven.com. We may remove access, preserve evidence where required, restrict accounts, and report to law enforcement when appropriate or required.
We may use hashing or similar tools to prevent the same content from being reuploaded.

No hateful, degrading, dehumanizing, or targeted abuse based on race, color, ethnicity, national origin, religion, caste, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, age, veteran status, body size, relationship structure, or any other protected or deeply personal trait.
No slurs, threats, humiliation, hate symbols, praise of hate groups, or abuse disguised as humor.
No deadnaming, misgendering used to demean, outing someone as trans, fetishizing language, invasive body questions, or treating someone as a category instead of a person.
Users who opt into identity-safety or Affirming Access features agree not to misuse those features to target, test, expose, shame, or harass other users.
Do not ask for money, gifts, crypto, wire transfers, or loans. Do not sell services, recruit, farm followers, or promote paid sexual content. No romance scams, catfishing, sextortion, or confidence tricks.
Do not ask for verification codes, banking access, payment app transfers, gift cards, crypto, investment deposits, emergency travel money, medical money, rent money, phone plans, subscriptions, or 'temporary help.' Do not send links meant to harvest logins, install malware, track someone, or move them into a scam.
No threats of violence, sexual violence, self-harm used to control someone, property damage, animal harm, stalking, intimidation, or coercive control.
Do not use Northgiven to monitor someone, punish someone for leaving, threaten exposure, pressure a partner, recruit someone into harm, or make someone feel unsafe for saying no.
Northgiven is for real connection, not sexual performance, pornography, commerce, or anonymous sexual chat. Consensual adult conversation between partners is fine, but unsolicited explicit content, commercial sexual content, explicit profile images, sexual shock value, escorting, sugar arrangements, pornography, and content trading are not allowed.
Your profile should describe who you are and what you're looking for. Photos must show the real person using this account. No violent, graphic, or explicitly sexual content. No manipulated media. Disclose your relationship structure honestly where the app asks.
No photos of minors, even family photos or childhood photos. No images where a minor appears in the background unless we specifically allow it in the future.
No filters, edits, AI images, camera tricks, old photos, or cropped images that materially misrepresent your identity, age, body, relationship status, or current appearance.
Each adult must have their own account. No one controls another adult's account, profile, consent, messages, photos, badges, or links.
Do not claim a partner, spouse, nesting partner, metamour, or polycule member consented unless that adult confirmed it through their own account.
Do not hide a spouse, partner, nested partner, active relationship, or non-monogamous structure where we ask for that information.
No misleading unicorn hunting. No bait-and-switch dating. No pressuring anyone to link, relink, stay linked, remove a badge, hide a partner, or misrepresent your relationship structure.
Northgiven prohibits child sexual abuse and exploitation, including CSAM, grooming, luring, sextortion, sexualized images of minors, sexual conversations with minors, attempts to meet minors, and lying about age.
Northgiven is 18 and older, with no exceptions. If we learn or reasonably suspect an account belongs to someone under 18, we may remove it and preserve information as required by law.
When we become aware of apparent CSAM or child sexual exploitation, we may remove access, preserve evidence as required, disable accounts, and report to NCMEC, law enforcement, app stores, or other authorities when appropriate or required.
No scraping, crawling, reverse engineering, automation, bots, scripts, fake traffic, automated messaging, vulnerability probing, or attempts to bypass safety systems.
Do not collect profiles, photos, messages, location clues, identity details, or behavioral data for surveillance, facial recognition, AI training, background-checking, data brokerage, private investigation, harassment, or exposure.
No evasion of suspensions. No helping others evade enforcement.
Good-faith reports are allowed even if we cannot verify every detail.
Do not file false reports, revenge reports, coordinated reports, or reports meant to punish rejection, identity, orientation, relationship structure, or boundaries.
No retaliation against someone for blocking, reporting, appealing, declining, ending contact, or refusing to explain themselves.
We review reports based on available evidence, severity, context, pattern, risk, and account history. We may act before completing a full review when safety risk is high.
We may remove content, limit reach, restrict features, require verification, warn, suspend, permanently remove accounts, preserve records, prevent re-registration, contact app stores or payment providers, and report to law enforcement, NCMEC, or other authorities when appropriate or required.
We may not provide detailed explanations when doing so would expose another person's private information, reveal safety systems, compromise an investigation, or increase risk.
You may appeal through the in-app process or by emailing legal@northgiven.com.
Explain what you believe was wrong and include relevant context. Abuse, threats, manipulation, spam, or repeated appeals may not receive a response.
An appeal doesn't guarantee reinstatement. Some safety decisions, especially those involving child safety, threats, exploitation, fraud, or legal compliance, may be final.
