The Controller’s policies on sexual violence and
conduct that threatens personal or public safety
The Controller is committed to maintaining a safe and
respectful environment for all Users. Within Yooppe, behavior such as
harassment, sexual violence, stalking, or any other conduct that may endanger
personal or public safety, whether in online or offline interactions, will not
be tolerated.
Any sexual activity without consent constitutes a violation
of the Data Controller’s rules and also constitutes unlawful conduct. Such behaviour
may result in legal consequences, including civil and criminal liability. In
the event of criminal investigations by the competent authorities, the
Controller will cooperate with law enforcement agencies.
How to report conduct or content that the User
believes violates the Controller’s rules
Users can easily and immediately report any content or
behaviour they believe to be in breach of the Controller’s rules through Yooppe
or by contacting customer support directly here.
It should also be noted that submitting false reports,
made with malicious, discriminatory or otherwise improper intent, constitutes a
breach of the Terms and Conditionsand
may result in measures being taken against the account of the User responsible.
Does the Controller verify Users’ identities or check
their criminal records?
The Controller uses a profile photo verification
feature within Yooppe and, in countries where the law expressly requires it,
also carries out identity verification.
The Controller does not carry out systematic checks on
criminal records or verify the identity of all registered Users. However, Controller
may carry out limited checks by cross-referencing certain information with
public registers relating to sexual offences, provided that it has the
necessary data. Accounts linked to Users with a criminal record for sexual
offences are deactivated.
No identity verification or criminal record check can
absolutely guarantee the absence of risks. For this reason, it is important to
always exercise caution when interacting with new people, both online and
offline.
Can individuals who have been convicted of a crime use
Yooppe?
Yooppe’s Terms and Conditionsdo
not permit access to Yooppe by individuals who have been convicted of, or have
committed, serious offences, in particular those involving violence or unlawful
sexual behaviour.
If the Controller becomes aware of a criminal record
that makes a User ineligible for Yooppe, the account will be deactivated.
What happens to a User who is reported for violating
the rules?
All reports of misconduct are taken seriously and promptly
reviewed by the Controller. If it is determined that the Terms and Conditions or the
Guidelines have been violated, appropriate action will be taken. Depending on the
severity, the consequences may range from a warning to the suspension of the
account or a ban on using the account. The most serious violations, such as
violence, threats of violence, sexual misconduct or other particularly harmful
behaviour, will result in a ban from Yooppe.
All users can request further information by
contacting customer service here.
When a report of misconduct is received, are the
User’s contacts notified?
Generally, contacts are not informed when a User is
reported or subject to measures. However, in accordance with certain local
regulations, email notifications may be sent to the Users concerned when an
account is suspended due to confirmed or suspected fraudulent behaviour, namely
situations in which the User poses a significant risk of engaging in fraudulent
activities through the use of false identities or attempts to obtain money or
other benefits by deceptive means.
Information relating to a User’s account, as set out
in the Privacy Policy,
is disclosed only in limited circumstances, primarily to comply with legal
obligations, such as requests from judicial authorities or other obligations
provided for by law.
