The rules

You have to be 18

DateCard is for adults. You must be 18 or older to publish a card, and the age field will not accept a number under 18. Cards belonging to minors are removed, and a card that appears to depict a minor is removed immediately. If you are a parent or guardian and your child has published a card, email us and it comes down.

What is not allowed

Keep a card to the kind of thing you would show a person you had just met. Specifically, none of this:

• Nudity or sexual content. No explicit or suggestive photos, no text written to be pornographic.
• Content that sexualises anyone. Yourself or anybody else. Never a minor.
• Harassment, hate, threats or slurs. Nothing that targets, degrades or threatens a person or a group.
• Impersonating another person. Your card is you — not a celebrity, not an ex, not an invented person built to fool someone.
• Anyone else’s photo used as your own. Including anything pulled off someone’s social media.
• Content involving a minor. Any photo of, or content about, someone under 18.
• Spam, scams or solicitation. No fishing for money, no advertising, no paid or sexual services.
• Anything illegal, including non-consensual or intimate images.

If you are not sure whether something belongs on a card, it probably does not.

You publish about yourself

A card carries your photos and your information. Do not put up somebody else’s photos, or somebody else’s private details — their number, address, workplace or handles. Not as a joke, not to help a friend, not to get back at anyone. The only person you can consent for is you.

Your card is public

There is no account, no login, no privacy setting. Your card is a web page at its own link, and anyone who has that link can open it and forward it. So the test for everything you type or upload is: would you hand this to a stranger? If not, leave it off — phone number and email address included.

Reporting a card

Anyone can report a card, with no account and no app. There is a report link in the footer of every published card, or go straight to date-card.app/report. Email works too: hello@date-card.app. What happens next:

• A person reads every report. No bot decides this.
• Reports are reviewed within 24 hours, and anything involving a minor is handled immediately.
• Cards that break these rules are deleted — the profile and every photo on it are removed, and the link stops resolving.
• Serious or repeated violations mean we will not host a card again.

You can report anonymously, and we never tell a card’s owner who reported it.

Your edit key

There are no passwords here. Publishing gives you one random edit key, and whoever holds it controls the card — editing it, replacing the photos, deleting it. Keep it private.

We cannot recover it; we only ever store a hash of it. What we can do is take a card down for you: email hello@date-card.app, show us it is yours — reply from the email address on it, or message from an account it links to — and it comes down.

We can remove any card

We may remove a card, and stop hosting cards for the person behind it, if it breaks these rules or if we are legally required to remove it. Where it is reasonable we will say why — but with anything involving a minor or someone’s safety, the card comes down first.

It is free, and offered as it is

DateCard costs nothing, shows no ads, and sells nothing. It is a small service run by one person, offered as-is with no warranty: it may be unavailable, change, or lose data, and we are not liable for that or for what anybody else puts on a card. If it is not doing what you need, take your card offline — that deletes everything on our side.

If these rules change

The new version is posted here and the date at the top changes with it. We have no email address for you, so this page is the only place changes are announced.

Anything else

How your information is handled is in the privacy policy. Help with editing, backing up or deleting is on the support page. To flag a card, use the report form. For anything else, a real person reads this address:

Publishing a card means you agree to these rules and confirm you are 18 or older.
