At DadConnect, our goal is to foster a secure and inclusive environment where men can connect and share their stories freely. Ensuring online safety is paramount to us, which is why we've established these Community Guidelines ("Guidelines") to outline what behaviors are encouraged and discouraged on our platform. Violations of these Guidelines may result in the loss of access to DadConnect.
Please remember to periodically review these Guidelines, as they will be updated from time to time.

We welcome:

Diversity and Inclusion

A diverse community with a wide range of content helps all men feel valued and accepted here. Our community embraces individuals of all gender identities, including non-binary, cisgender, and transgender men.

Kindness and Authenticity

Trust is the foundation of DadConnect, and authenticity among our members is essential for creating a safe atmosphere. Treat others with kindness, respect, and honesty, and engage in genuine interactions.

Deeply Meaningful Relationships

Building connections based on shared experiences reminds us that we're not alone in our journey. Listen, support, share, and pay forward the support you receive within our community.

Respectful Communication

We understand that conversations may reach a natural end or become difficult to continue. Be upfront, direct, and respectful when communicating with others, and avoid abruptly ending conversations without explanation.

What we strongly prohibit:

Child Abuse and Exploitation

We don’t allow content that:

  • Sexually exploits or abuses children or content that promotes the sexual exploitation or abuse of children. This includes all child sexual abuse materials and imagery (even cartoon images) and all content that presents children in a sexual manner; or

  • Endangers children. Including but not limited to:

    • Child grooming’ (for example, befriending a child online to facilitate, either online or offline, sexual contact and/or exchanging sexual imagery with that child);

    • ‘Sextortion’ (for example, threatening or blackmailing a child by using real or alleged access to a child’s intimate images);

    • Sexualization of a minor (for example, content that depicts, encourages or promotes the sexual abuse or exploitation of children); and

    • Trafficking of a child (for example, advertising or solicitation of a child for commercial sexual exploitation).

We remove such content and take appropriate action, which may include disabling accounts and reporting to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children as well as any appropriate authority. If you believe a child is in danger of or has been subject to abuse, exploitation, or trafficking, contact the police immediately. If you have concerns a child is being or was being endangered in connection with our website or application, you can report the behaviour to DadConnect (support@dadconnect-app.io) or directly to Google at the following link: https://support.google.com/websearch/contact/content_removal_form?sjid=17549993535279449090-EU.

Impersonation

To maintain authenticity and trust within our community, only use photos, names and other identifying information that belong to you. Each member must have a profile verified with a selfie, and the creation of duplicate or shared accounts is prohibited.

Misinformation

While we encourage discussions on meaningful topics, spreading inaccurate or false information that harms our community, such as misinformation about vaccines, is not allowed.

Plagiarism

Originality is valued at DadConnect, and we encourage everyone to create and share their own content. Plagiarism, or using someone else's work without proper credit, is not permitted.

Hateful Behavior

We have a zero-tolerance policy for hate speech targeting individuals or groups based on race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, disability, gender identity, age, socioeconomic status, or any other characteristic.

Harassment and Bullying

We do not tolerate any form of harassment or bullying, including threats, shaming, releasing personal information without consent, or sending unwanted messages.

Fake Reporting

Reporting inappropriate behavior helps maintain the safety of our community. Intentionally misusing the reporting tool, such as making false reports out of personal grievances, is not acceptable.

Harmful and Sexual Content

To protect the well-being of our members, we prohibit content that exploits or harms minors, as well as nudity, pornography, sexually explicit material, or sexual solicitation.

Illegal Activities

Any content related to criminal activities, including theft or exploitation, is not allowed on DadConnect.
