FriendRewind Terms of Service
Effective: May 16, 2025
Last updated: October 25, 2026
October 25, 2026 update: We have clarified location visibility and the limits of our age-based contact protections. See the Privacy Policy and Safety Policy.
Welcome to FriendRewind! Before connecting with old and new friends, please review our rules and terms below. By using FriendRewind, you agree to the following:
- 1. Who Can Join
You must be 13+ to create an account.
Use your real age and info-no catfishing! - 2. Be Cool: Community Guidelines
No hate speech, bullying, or harassment.
No adult content, violence, or illegal stuff.
Don’t spam or misuse messaging tools.
Respect others' content-no stealing or copying. - 3. Privacy and Security
We use access restrictions and privacy settings to limit who can see your information. No online service can guarantee that information will never be disclosed. Read our full Privacy Policy. - 4. Content You Share
You own your photos, blogs, and bulletins. By posting, you let us display and feature it on FriendRewind (but we don’t sell it). - 5. Account Stuff
Don’t share your password.
If you notice something weird, let us know!
We reserve the right to suspend accounts that break the rules. - 6. Updates
We may update these rules. We’ll post a notice when we do. Keep checking back! - 7. Leaving?
You can delete your account anytime. No hard feelings. - 8. Minor Safety & Restricted Contact
FriendRewind takes the safety of younger users seriously. When one account is 18 or older and the other is under 18, we enforce Restricted Contact based on how far apart your birth years are. Contact between two adults or between two users under 18 is not affected.
Birth years within three calendar years: You may send friend requests and direct messages to each other normally.
Birth years more than three calendar years apart:
• Adults (18+) cannot send friend requests to that user.
• Users under 18 may send friend requests to adults, but must confirm the recipient is 18 or older before the request is sent.
• Direct messages between the two of you are blocked in both directions unless you are already accepted friends.
Location privacy: Stored location fields for accounts identified as under 18 are not shown to adults or logged-out visitors. Signed-in users identified as under 18 may see them. If we cannot establish a usable individual age, location stays hidden. These rules apply to profile views, listings, location-based matches and structured metadata; they do not remove locations you write in posts, bios or other content.
Messaging and blocking: Normal direct messages require an accepted friendship and remain subject to messaging settings and personal blocks. The peer-age exception does not bypass those controls. Our designated support account has exceptions to friendship and age restrictions so users can get account and safety help. Age restrictions depend on recorded age information and cannot establish a person's real age.
Age filter restrictions: Adult users cannot use the Browse page age filters to search for users under 18.
Attempting to circumvent these protections (including providing a false date of birth) is a violation of our Terms and may result in immediate account suspension. Date of birth is set at registration and cannot be changed.
