To protect the safety and privacy of the community, we ask everyone to follow these guidelines, as well as our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. Members who don't follow them may have their accounts permanently suspended.
Respect every member
CMB welcomes everyone to a diverse community, where members may have different backgrounds, beliefs or interests, but everyone should feel safe being themselves. Please treat each other with respect, sincerity and politeness, keep an open mind, communicate directly, and keep your word (no just disappearing in silence, or ghosting!)
We have a zero-tolerance policy for harassment and hate speech, toward both members and CMB staff. If you see anyone not following these rules, please report them to us as soon as possible.
Harassment: includes bullying, disruptive behaviour, sending sexual content without consent, stalking, threats, and intimidation.
Hate speech: includes content that promotes racism, hatred or violence toward others based on religion, gender or other factors.
Photo requirements
At least 1 photo that clearly shows your face: the more photos of yourself, the higher your chances of success (a warm smile adds charm!). Profiles with no face shown won't be approved.
Only use photos you have the rights to: if it isn't a photo of you, don't use it.
No obscene or indecent photos
No firearms
No illegal activity, such as drug use or harassing behaviour
No photos of children alone: an adult must be in the photo, and children must be fully clothed.
No nudity or underwear
No violent or gory images, such as hunting photos
No personal information, such as phone numbers, emails or addresses
No AI-generated, edited or deepfake photos: photos must reflect your real, unaltered self.
If your photos don't meet these requirements, your account won't be approved.
Be yourself
Everyone wants to know the real you. There's no need to pretend to be someone else. Be honest when filling in your profile, and only use photos of yourself.
No fake accounts or multiple accounts
No repeatedly deleting and creating new accounts
No impersonating others or using trademarked names (e.g. characters from literature)
No lying about your age or falsely claiming a relationship with someone else (if you entered your age wrong when signing up, you can request a correction only once)
No using AI or deepfakes to misrepresent yourself, whether in photos, videos or other media. A sincere relationship starts with sincerity.
No using the app if you're committed or already in a relationship (especially hiding it from your partner). Accounts found doing this will be suspended immediately.
Behave appropriately
Keep the same manners in chats or video calls as you would in real life. If you wouldn't say it to a friend or colleague face to face, don't say it to a member on CMB. Treat each other with respect, without unwanted sexual content, hate speech or harassment.
We recommend taking time to get to know your match and sending thoughtful, appropriate messages. Instead of using the same greetings over and over, try sending a message that's specific and connected to the other person's profile, for a more sincere conversation.
Privacy is the top priority
Sharing your own or other people's personal information is against our policy. To keep you safe from scammers misusing your information, don't reveal sensitive information such as passwords, financial accounts, passports or ID card numbers.
CMB is for dating, not buying and selling
If you want to sell products or promote services, CMB isn't the place for that. CMB is designed to help people find long-term relationships, not as a space to sell products or services. Don't ask other members for money, gifts or property, including posting Amazon Wishlist, PayPal or Venmo links.
Accounts that use the platform for purposes other than dating will be permanently suspended.
Illegal activity is absolutely not accepted
CMB does not accept any form of illegal activity, including illegal sexual behaviour, using or dealing drugs, fraud, threats and harassment.
Don't report other members without reason
We understand that not every member will be your type, but please don't report a profile just because you feel they're not the right person. If you don't want to see that profile anymore, we recommend using "Hide" instead.
No spam or scams
CMB does not accept using the platform to spam or deceive others, including asking for personal information to misuse it, and posting links to other websites on your profile.
Don't share inappropriate, obscene or violent content
Sharing inappropriate content without the other person's consent is harassment. If something shouldn't be shared in public, it shouldn't be shared on the app either.
This includes sexually explicit or obscene images, unwanted messages, and images of self-harm.
