What you can complain about#

You can raise a grievance about anything to do with ChaiPe, for example:

  • a profile, photo or message that breaks our Terms of Use or Community Guidelines, or the IT Rules;
  • content that shows you, impersonates you or uses your photos;
  • a decision we made about your content or account, such as a removal, suspension or ban;
  • your personal data and your rights under our Privacy Policy;
  • a purchase, subscription or refund (see our Refund Policy);
  • a safety concern, including a concern about a child (see our Child Safety Standards).

If someone is in immediate danger, call 112 first.

How to raise a grievance#

  • In the app: Settings › Help › Raise a grievance. To report a specific profile or chat, tap Report on it.
  • On the web: use the grievance form at chaipe.app/grievance.
  • By email: write to grievance@chaipe.app.
  • By post: to the Grievance Officer at the address above.

Please include:

  • your name and an email address where we can reach you;
  • what the problem is, with as much detail as you can (for example the name shown on the profile, the city, the date, and what happened);
  • a link or screenshot, if it helps, except for any image that may show a child in a sexual way. Never send us such material: describe it instead and we will find it.
