Acceptable Use & Community Guidelines

Last updated: 2 July 2026

Acceptable Use & Community Guidelines

These guidelines apply to everything you share on PlateDate — including recipes and photos you submit and how you interact with a connected partner in Partner Mode. They form part of, and should be read alongside, our Terms & Conditions. By using PlateDate you agree to follow them.

Content you submit

• Only submit recipes, text and photos that you created or have the right to share — don't copy content that belongs to someone else.
• Keep ingredient and allergen information as accurate as you can. Remember other users may rely on it.
• Don't submit content that is unlawful, infringing, misleading, offensive, hateful, sexual, violent or dangerous.
• No spam, advertising, promotional links or bulk/automated submissions.

Partner Mode conduct

Partner Mode connects you with another user so you can plan meals together, which means some of your activity (such as your meal decisions and name) is shared with them. Be respectful, only connect with people you know or trust, and don't harass, threaten or abuse a partner. You can end a partner connection at any time from within the app.

Things you must not do

• Break the law or help anyone else to.
• Harass, bully, impersonate or threaten other people.
• Upload malware, or attempt to hack, overload, scrape or reverse‑engineer the app.
• Try to access other users' accounts or data, or circumvent usage limits or paid features.

Enforcement

If content or behaviour breaks these guidelines, we may remove the content and — depending on the seriousness — suspend or permanently close the account involved. Where we can, we'll let you know, but we may act immediately to protect users or comply with the law.

Reporting a problem

If you see content or behaviour that breaks these guidelines, please report it to hello@platedate.date and we'll look into it.
