Account Suspension and Termination

High severity
Share 𝕏 Share in Share

Why it matters

Users can lose access to their account and all associated data without prior notice, and Grindr faces no obligation to restore access or provide a meaningful appeals process.

Consumer impact

Grindr's Terms of Service significantly affect users' legal rights by requiring mandatory individual arbitration and waiving the right to participate in class action lawsuits, which limits how users can seek legal remedies. Users also grant Grindr a broad, royalty-free license to use their content, and the platform retains wide discretion to suspend or terminate accounts. You can opt out of the arbitration clause by sending written notice to Grindr within 30 days of first agreeing to the Terms.

Applicable agencies
