If you violate our Terms of Use, Community Guidelines or Policies, we can take action on your Tinder account. Depending on the violation, we can remove your profile from Tinder, issue a warning and/or remove content from your profile. If you believe we took an action in error, you have the opportunity to appeal these in the Appeal Center. 

Appealable violations

You can access the Appeal Center by using the same login details as for your Tinder account. In the Appeal Center, you can see an overview of all actions that are eligible for appeal. You can tap See details to know more about a specific violation. 

If you don’t see a specific violation that you want to appeal or don’t see the option to appeal a violation, it is therefore not eligible to appeal. This could be for one or more of the following reasons:

• The action was taken prior to the launch of the Appeal Center. Only actions taken after you received access to the Appeal Center can be appealed through it. 
• The type of violation is not eligible for appeal. At this time only warnings, content removals, and bans can be appealed through the Appeal Center.
• The action was taken more than 6 months ago. You can only appeal for 6 months after the action was taken on your account.
• You have already appealed this violation before. You can only appeal a violation once. You can find all violations you’ve appealed before in the Appealed tab. 

How to appeal

To appeal, follow these steps:

1. In the Appeal Center, find the violation you want to appeal and select it. 
2. Tap Begin appeal. 
3. Tap Submit appeal. 

If there are multiple violations you want to appeal, make sure they are all selected when you submit the appeal. 

After appealing

Once you appeal your violation, the violation is moved to the Appealed tab and you’ll see an In Review label next to the violation. When we have reviewed your appeal, this label will update to Approved or Denied, depending on the outcome of the appeal.

• If the label shows that your appeal is approved, it means that the violation you appealed was reversed. Depending on the violation you appealed, we either reinstated your account, reversed the warning and/or restored your content.
• If the label shows that your appeal is denied, it means that the violation you appealed was reinforced. Depending on the violation you appealed, we either won’t reinstate your account, won’t reverse the warning and/or won’t restore your content.

If you see a new violation in the Appeal Center, that means that during our review we discovered an additional violation(s) of our Terms of Use or Community Guidelines. You may appeal new violations through the Appeal Center.
