Acceptable use policy.

• Use a real name (or a clearly chosen first name); no impersonation, no celebrity catfishing.
• Profile photos must show you, with your face visible in at least one photo. No stock photos, no AI-generated faces representing you as a person, no group photos without you tagged.
• One account per person. Multi-accounting to evade bans or manipulate matches is prohibited.
• Bots, scripts, scrapers, and automated swiping/messaging are not allowed.

• Nudity or sexually explicit content, including suggestive close-ups, lingerie/swimwear shown out of context, or genitalia.
• Sexual solicitation, escorting, sugar dating, OnlyFans/PPV promotion, or any exchange of sex for money or goods.
• Minors in profile content, including your own children. Keep family photos off Spark.
• Hate speech targeting race, ethnicity, religion, national origin, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, age, or any other protected class.
• Threats, harassment, doxxing, stalking, or content that shames or humiliates a specific person.
• Violence, gore, or self-harm content.
• Illegal drugs, weapons sales, or instructions for harmful activity.
• Scams, phishing, crypto/MLM/business pitches, or any commercial solicitation. Spark is not a marketplace.
• Other people's private info — home addresses, phone numbers, financial details, IDs, medical records.
• Copyrighted material you don't have the right to use.

• No unsolicited explicit messages or images. Don't send anything sexual unless the other person clearly asked for it.
• "No" means no. If someone unmatches, blocks you, or stops responding, do not contact them through another channel or a second account.
• Be honest about your age, identity, relationship status, and intentions. Dishonesty around any of these is a serious AUP violation.
• Don't pressure other users to meet, share contact info, share photos, or move off the app before they're ready.
• Treat people in group chats with the same respect you would in person. Group admins may remove disruptive members; Spark may step in for repeat issues.

• Meet in public places the first few times. Tell a friend where you'll be.
• Don't send money to anyone you met on Spark, no matter the story. Romance scams are a top tactic we monitor for.
• If you're being harassed, threatened, or feel unsafe, contact local emergency services. Then abuse@sparkdatin.com so we can act on our side.
• If you witness or suspect any minor on Spark, report immediately to abuse@sparkdatin.com. We escalate every report of child safety concerns to NCMEC and relevant authorities.

• Don't attempt to reverse engineer, probe, or stress-test the platform.
• Don't scrape user profiles, photos, or messages.
• Don't exploit Super Likes, Boosts, referrals, beacons, or Spark+ trials. Any abuse of bonus features may end the trial and the account.
• Don't bypass safety features like blocks, reports, or geographic limits.
• API access is for the official Spark apps only.

• Remove the offending content
• Send a warning
• Restrict features (e.g. messaging, super likes, group access)
• Suspend the account temporarily
• Permanently ban the account and any associated devices/payment methods
• Refer to law enforcement (for serious safety violations, child safety concerns, threats, or fraud)

Bans are not eligible for refund of unused Spark+ subscription time. You can appeal a ban by emailing abuse@sparkdatin.com within 30 days.
