summarize

TL;DR

Be kind. Be real. Keep your clothes on. Don't harass anyone. Don't spam. Respect privacy. If you wouldn't do it in front of your grandma, don't do it on iWink. Break the rules = you're gone.

Respect & Behavior

How you treat others defines the community

dangerous

No Harassment or Bullying

Targeting someone with insults, threats, intimidation, or persistent unwanted contact is strictly prohibited. This includes verbal abuse during video calls, repeated unwanted winks, and aggressive behavior in chat.

Ban
dangerous

No Hate Speech or Discrimination

Content or behavior that attacks individuals or groups based on race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, or any other protected characteristic is zero-tolerance. No exceptions.

Ban
warning

Be a Decent Human

Treat every person you meet like a real person — because they are. Being rude, dismissive, or intentionally obnoxious ruins the experience for everyone. If someone skips you, move on gracefully.

No Minors

iWink is strictly for users aged 18 and above. If we detect or suspect that an account belongs to a minor, it will be immediately suspended. Attempting to interact with minors in any inappropriate way will result in a permanent ban and may be reported to authorities.

Use the Report Button

If something feels off — report it. Our AI moderation catches most violations automatically, but your reports help us catch edge cases. Every report is reviewed. False reports to grief other users will result in action against you.

Prohibited Content

What you absolutely cannot show, share, or do

No Nudity or Sexual Content

Privacy & Data

Your data, your rules

We Don't Store Your Calls

Video and audio streams are peer-to-peer (WebRTC). We don't record, store, or have access to the content of your calls. Chat messages are ephemeral and not persisted after the session ends.

Fair Use & Integrity

Keep the platform fair for everyone

No Impersonation

Pretending to be someone else — whether a real person, celebrity, iWink staff, or another user — is not allowed. Be yourself. That's who people want to talk to anyway.

No Multiple Accounts

One person, one account. Creating multiple accounts to evade bans, manipulate the matching system, or abuse referral rewards is prohibited. We track device fingerprints and IPs.

Suspend
warning

No Referral Fraud

Gaming the rewards system with fake referrals, self-referrals, or bots will result in your rewards being revoked and your account suspended. Earn rewards honestly.

Don't Abuse the Skip Button

Skipping is fine — it's part of the experience. But excessively rapid skipping (bot-like behavior) or skipping based on discriminatory reasons will be flagged by our system.

Enforcement & Consequences

What happens when rules are broken

Escalation Process

1

Warning

For minor or first-time offenses. You'll receive a warning notification explaining what you did wrong. This is logged on your account.

2

Temporary Suspension

For repeated minor offenses or a single moderate offense. Your account is suspended for 24 hours to 7 days depending on severity. You'll be unable to start or receive matches.

3

Permanent Ban

For severe violations (nudity, harassment, threats, illegal content) or accumulating too many strikes. The ban is permanent, tied to your account, email, and device fingerprint. Creating new accounts to evade a ban results in those accounts being banned too.

AI-Assisted Moderation

Our AI moderation system (NSFW.js + TensorFlow) monitors video streams in real-time. It automatically detects and flags inappropriate visual content. Combined with our admin review team, violations are caught fast — usually within seconds. The system isn't perfect, which is why your reports matter.
