Terms of Service

The rules of Match By Zodiac, in plain words — written to match what the service actually does. If anything here and the app ever disagree, tell us at matchbyzodiac@gmail.com and we will fix the words.

Who can join

You must be 18 or older to use Match By Zodiac. We check your birth date when you sign up, and an account we learn belongs to someone under 18 is removed.

One account per person, and it has to be yours: your own name and your own photos. No impersonation and no fake profiles. We verify your email address with a 6-digit code before the account can be used — until you enter it, the app stays locked on the verification screen. Beyond that we do not verify identity, and no profile here should be treated as identity-verified.

Your sign is set by your birth date

Your zodiac sign is read from the exact birth date you give at sign-up. It never changes — and neither do the birth date or gender on your account. You can add or correct your birth time and birth place at any time in Settings: they refine your chart (Moon sign, Rising sign, birth map, Guna Milan), but they can never move your sign.

The photo check

Every profile photo and post photo passes a server-side AI vision check — the Alpha AI photo check — before it is accepted. It looks for a clear photo of a real human and turns away logos, artwork, scenery, and group shots.

The photo check is not identity verification: it does not prove a photo is really the person who uploaded it, and it can turn away a genuine photo that is small, dark, or full-body. A verified photo of yourself is required to use the app. You can change your photo only when a replacement passes the check, and you cannot remove your photo without a passing replacement.

Your content, and the licence to show it

You keep ownership of the photos and words you post. By posting them, you give Match By Zodiac a licence to store them and show them to other members exactly as the service works: your profile in Discover and to your matches, your posts on your page and in the Talk Center.

A post is a photo plus a short description of 120 characters or fewer, and it lives on your page. A Talk Center reply can run to 300 characters. The Talk Center is public to the member community — its feed shows members their own posts and posts from the opposite gender — so never post anything there that you would not say in public.

You are responsible for what you post. Do not post anything you do not have the right to share, anyone else's photos, or anything illegal.

Messages are end-to-end encrypted

Messages can only be sent between people who have matched. They are end-to-end encrypted: sealed on your device, opened only on your match's device. Our servers store only the sealed text and cannot read your messages — not for moderation, not for support, not for anyone.

Your message key is sealed with your account password. If you reset your password while signed out — or change it on a device where your messages are not unlocked — older messages can become unreadable, because only the old password could open the key they were sealed with. That is how the encryption is designed to work, and no one at Match By Zodiac can recover sealed messages for you.

Alpha 0.1, the AI assistant

Alpha 0.1 is an AI assistant inside Match By Zodiac. It answers questions about the zodiac and about this site, it stays inside that scope, and it can be wrong. Conversations with Alpha 0.1 are not stored on our servers. Nothing Alpha 0.1 says is professional advice of any kind.

Astrology is for reflection, not prediction

Match By Zodiac presents astrology — Western signs and decans, the Chinese zodiac, Moon and Rising signs, and the Vedic Guna Milan score — as a language for reflection and conversation. It is not prediction, and it is not a substitute for medical, legal, financial, mental-health, or relationship advice. A compatibility score describes a pairing of signs, not the worth of a person or the fate of a relationship. No score is a promise that a match will work out — or a reason it cannot.

Acceptable use

No harassment, threats, hate, or intimidation. No spam, scams, or advertising. Never ask another member for money, gift cards, bank details, or financial help, and never send any. No sexual content involving anyone under 18 — zero tolerance, and it is reported to the authorities. No illegal activity, no scraping or automated abuse of the service, and no attempt to access another member's account or data. The Community Guidelines spell out the same rules as community standards.

Reporting, blocking, and hiding

When you report someone, we save the report — who reported whom, the reason, and the time — and that person stops appearing in your Discover. If three different people report the same profile, that profile is hidden from everyone's Discover pending review. Hiding is not a deletion or a ban: the account stays, and existing matches and messages are not removed by hiding alone.

When you block someone, any match between you is removed and neither of you can see or message each other again. Unblocking (in Settings) lets them appear in your results again, but it does not restore a removed match. Unmatching removes the match and stops messages, without blocking.

Enforcement, and deleting your account

We may hide or remove content, and suspend or end accounts that break these terms or the Community Guidelines — with or without notice where the situation requires it.

You can delete your account at any time, from Settings or from your profile. After you re-enter your password and confirm, we delete your profile, photos, posts, matches, messages, swipes, saved members, blocks, reports involving you, your message keys, and all of your sessions, and sign you out. Deletion cannot be undone.

The service, honestly

Match By Zodiac is provided “as is”. We work to keep it running and its charts accurate, but we do not promise it will always be available or error-free, or that any chart, score, or match will meet a particular expectation. Other members are strangers: we do not run background checks, and nothing on a profile is a guarantee about a person. Meet in public first, tell someone where you are going, and trust your instincts — the Safety page says more.

To the fullest extent the law allows, Match By Zodiac and Alpha Intelligence are not liable for the conduct of other members, for meetings that happen off the service, or for indirect or consequential losses arising from using the service. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.

Changes and contact

We may update these terms. The current version always lives on this page with its date, and continuing to use Match By Zodiac after a change means you accept the updated terms. Questions about these terms: matchbyzodiac@gmail.com.
