Here's What to Do if You Get Banned From Hinge

Did you know it was possible to have your account suspended or banned from your favorite social media platforms, gaming services, or dating apps? If you are trying to figure out why you were banned from Hinge or how to get your account reinstated, it can be a little frustrating.

Most services say they reserve the right to terminate relationships with users at any time, and often it can be for any number of reasons, but without knowing why your account was banned, it can be difficult to make an appeal. Fortunately, DoNotPay can help you navigate the appeals process as you try to have your Hinge account unbanned.

Why Was Your Hinge Account Banned?

Hinge is a dating app, now owned by Match Group, that claims to focus on long-term relationships and connections. If that is the case, you should be able to quickly make a match and then you would no longer have a need for their service. If you try to log in one day, however, and receive a message that your account has been removed and you have been banned from Hinge, it can come as a shock.

Violating Terms of Service

According to Hinge, they will not disclose any information about your ban. The only thing that Hinge will tell you is that accounts are banned if they are associated with violation of Terms of Service. When you sign up for almost any service, you are likely required to read and agree with their Terms of Service, or you automatically agree to abide by the TOS just by using the service.

Here is a variety of common activities in the Hinge TOS that may lead to someone having their account removed:

• Misrepresenting (i.e. lying about) your identity, age, qualifications, positions, etc.
• Using Hinge in any way that is illegal or harmful
• Posting and/or sharing any prohibited content that is:

• Reasonably considered harassing, embarrassing, alarming, annoying, etc.
• Violent, obscene, ponrgraphic, contains nudity, or may offend human dignity
• Discriminatory, abusive, or promotes, or encourages racism, sexism, bigotry, hatred,
• Libelous or untrue
• Extremely political or relates to commercial activities of any kind

• Solicit money or items of value
• participate in any form of harassment, bullying, assault, defamation, harm, or other forms of mistreatment against any person
• Use the service in connection with fraud, pyramid schemes, similar

This is not an exhaustive list, but shows that Hinge has the right to ban users for any number of reasons at their discretion, and as stated, they will not tell you specifically why you were banned. This policy is said to be a protective measure for the person(s) that reported your account. Unfortunately, without knowing why you were banned, it can be difficult to form an effective appeal, but DoNotPay can help.

Who Decides You Are Banned?

Hinge has a moderation team composed of Hinge staff members from a variety of backgrounds and life experiences. Their team is said to have undergone extensive training, and their diverse experiences help them to make fair decisions.

How to Appeal a Banned Hinge Account on Your Own

If you are banned from Hinge, they will allow you to appeal the ban. However, you must follow their instructions very carefully so they will even consider your appeal.

1. When you receive the notification in your account that you have been banned, there will be a link to appeal. Click through this link, because you must submit it through the app.
2. Complete all the information that is required in the appeals submission form. They will not investigate appeals with incomplete forms.
3. Check your email to verify that your appeal was received. If you did not receive an email with a confirmation number, you should reach out to Customer Experience:

• Email hello@hinge.co with "Appeal Submission" in the subject line
• Describe your appeal in detail, including why you believe your account has not violated the Hinge TOS.
• Include your Name (as listed in your Hinge profile), your email address, and the phone number that you use to log into Hinge.

4. Do not submit multiple appeals, and do reach out to Hinge or Match Group employees or social media about your appeal, because they will not discuss it and you will be redirected to follow the process described here.
