Prohibition on Third-Party AI/ML Interactions

Share 𝕏 Share in Share

Why it matters

This provision prevents users and developers from building AI tools that access Hinge data, but it also protects user content from being scraped or processed by unauthorized third-party AI systems.

Consumer impact

Hinge users must submit almost all legal disputes to binding arbitration and waive their right to participate in class action lawsuits, significantly limiting legal recourse against the company. Subscriptions automatically renew and Hinge reserves the right to change subscription features at any time without offering refunds in most cases. You can opt out of the mandatory arbitration clause by sending written notice to legal@hinge.co within 30 days of first agreeing to the Terms.

Applicable agencies

  • FTC
    The FTC has increasing oversight of AI and data practices affecting consumers, including unauthorized data collection and use by third-party applications.
