3. Safety, AI-Assisted Moderation and Abuse Prevention
Because Kissu is an online dating and social matching platform, we use safety and moderation measures designed to identify and respond to prohibited, harmful, fraudulent, exploitative, or suspicious activity.
Kissu uses or may implement automated systems and AI-assisted moderation technologies to help identify potential violations of our Terms of Service, Acceptable Use Policy, and safety standards.
Depending on the feature and information available, these systems may analyze or evaluate relevant information such as:
- Profile information and biographies;
- Profile photos and other uploaded media;
- Stories and other user-generated content;
- Messages and communications processed through Kissu-operated communication features;
- Account activity and behavioral signals;
- Likes, matches, interaction patterns, and other activity where relevant to safety or abuse detection;
- Reports, blocks, and enforcement history;
- Technical, fraud-prevention, and security signals; and
- Other information reasonably necessary to identify potential policy violations or protect users.
Automated and AI-assisted systems may help identify potential:
- Fraud, scams, spam, and suspicious activity;
- Fake, deceptive, or impersonating profiles;
- Harassment, threats, coercion, or abuse;
- Sexually explicit or otherwise prohibited content;
- Sexual exploitation or sexual violence;
- Human trafficking or sex trafficking;
- Child sexual exploitation and abuse;
- Non-consensual intimate imagery;
- Attempts to circumvent Kissu's safety systems; and
- Other conduct prohibited by our policies or applicable law.
Automated or AI-generated safety signals may result in content being flagged for further review or may contribute to safety and enforcement measures, such as warnings, content restrictions, feature limitations, account restrictions, suspension, or termination, depending on the circumstances and Kissu's enforcement processes.
Kissu may combine automated detection with user reporting, blocking tools, administrative review, and other moderation and enforcement measures.
AI-assisted moderation is intended to support user safety and platform integrity. Automated systems are not perfect and may produce incorrect or incomplete results.
We do not guarantee that automated systems, AI-assisted moderation, administrative review, or other safety measures will detect or prevent every harmful user, communication, or policy violation.
4. Information Visible to Other Users

- Gender or other displayed profile information;
- General profile location;
- Profile photographs;
- Biography;
- Interests;
- Dating preferences where displayed;
- Stories;

Messages you send are visible to their intended recipients.
Your phone number is not intended to be displayed publicly merely because Kissu uses it for account-related functionality or verification.
If you voluntarily provide personal information to another user, including through a Private Lounge or another communication method, that person may save, copy, or share the information outside Kissu.
Kissu cannot control what another person does with information you voluntarily disclose to them.
