Aligned Men
Terms of Service
Last updated October 20, 2026
These are the rules for using Aligned Men. They are written to be read, not to be skipped. By creating an account you agree to them.
1. Who can join
You must be at least 18 years old to use Aligned Men. You may hold one account, it must be yours, and the information on it must be true. Do not impersonate anyone, and do not create an account for someone else.
Aligned Men is built for men looking to build alongside other men. We may decline or close any account at our discretion.
2. Your account
Keep your login credentials to yourself. You are responsible for what happens under your account. Tell us promptly if you think someone else has access to it.
3. How to behave
The service depends on people being straight with each other. Do not:
- harass, threaten, stalk, intimidate, or abuse another member, on or off the platform;
- post anything unlawful, hateful, sexually explicit, or designed to incite violence;
- misrepresent who you are, what you have done, or what you are building;
- use Aligned Men to spam, recruit for a scheme, solicit investment fraudulently, or run a commercial pitch at people who did not ask;
- scrape, bulk-export, or resell other members' information — including their web cards — or try to work out anyone's precise location;
- probe, overload, or interfere with the service or the accounts of others.
Report anything that crosses these lines. We investigate reports, and may remove content, limit how content or accounts are shown to others, or close accounts, without notice, when the situation calls for it.
4. What you post stays yours
You keep ownership of your profile, projects, posts, comments, photos, and messages. You give us permission to store, display, and distribute that content for the purpose of operating Aligned Men — showing your profile to matches, rendering your posts in the feed, and, when your web card or a public project's card is on, showing it on the web to anyone with its link (and in search results if you turn that on), and so on. That permission ends when you delete the content or your account, except for copies already made by other members, for backups that age out on their normal schedule, and for what stays after an account is deleted, which is described at aligned.men/delete-account. Switching a card off ends its display on the web, except for link previews and copies that others have already made.
You are responsible for having the right to post what you post, including photos.
5. Matching, and what it is not
Alignment scores, match explanations, and parts of your profile summary are generated by software, including a language model. They are an informed guess. They can be wrong, they can be oddly worded, and they are not a judgement of anyone's character or a vetting of anyone's claims.
We do not perform background checks on members. A high alignment score is our estimate of how well two members fit, drawn from what they have told us, input from our team, how they have interacted on Aligned, and an automated AI assessment. How it is worked out is our own, and we do not publish it. It does not mean the other person is who they say they are.
6. Meeting people in person
Aligned Men is designed to lead to real meetings, so this deserves saying plainly: you meet other members at your own risk. Meet in public first. Tell someone where you are going. Do not send money to someone you met here. Do not share financial details.
We are not a party to what happens between members, and we are not responsible for the conduct of any member, online or off.
7. The service will change
Aligned Men is early and under active development. Features may change, break, or be removed, and the service may be unavailable at times. We do not promise uninterrupted access.
8. Third-party services
The app relies on outside providers for hosting, sign-in, maps, notifications, and AI, which we use for matching, search, and drafting text such as profile summaries. Links posted by members lead off the platform. We do not control any of that, and we are not responsible for it. The Privacy Policy describes the kinds of providers we use.
9. Ending it
You can stop using Aligned Men at any time. You can delete your account in the app's settings; it is deleted at once and cannot be restored. You can also email privacy@aligned.men from the address on your account. What is deleted and what stays is described at aligned.men/delete-account.
We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms, or that puts other members at risk.
10. Disclaimers and limits
Aligned Men is provided as is, without warranties of any kind, to the fullest extent the law allows. We do not warrant that the service will be error-free, that matches will be suitable, or that any member is trustworthy.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, or for loss of data, profits, or opportunity, arising from your use of Aligned Men or your interactions with other members. Nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited by law.
11. Disputes
If you have a problem with us, email privacy@aligned.men first. Most things are resolved that way, and we would rather sort it out directly than formally.
12. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. If a change materially affects you, we will update the date at the top and notify you in the app. Continuing to use Aligned Men after a change means you accept it.
