Terms of Service
HYPE — thehype.fun
Eligibility — 18+
HYPE is an adults-only platform. You must be 18 or older to create an account. This is a hard requirement, not a suggestion: accounts found to belong to anyone under 18 will be removed, and that includes users between 13 and 17, who are old enough for some services but not for this one. If you are a parent or guardian and believe a minor has created an account, contact us and we will delete it.
Your account
You're responsible for what happens under your account and for keeping your password secure. Don't impersonate anyone or share your login with someone else.
Your content
You own what you post. Posting it to HYPE gives us the limited license needed to store, encrypt, transmit, and display it back to you and the people you're sharing it with — nothing more.
Encryption & disappearing content
Room messages and media are encrypted client-side; we can't read them. Disappearing-message timers and confession/story expirations are best-effort deletion, not a guarantee against someone screenshotting or forwarding content before it expires.
Conduct
No harassment, hate speech, illegal content, spam, or impersonation. Confessions posted anonymously are still subject to these rules — anonymity protects your identity from other users, not from consequences for content that breaks them.
Reporting & blocking
You can report any post, reel, confession, comment, or account directly from the app, and block any account to stop them contacting you and stop their content from appearing in your feeds. Reports are reviewed by our team.
Moderation
We may remove content, suspend, or delete accounts that violate these terms, at our discretion, with or without notice.
Account deletion
You can permanently delete your account at any time from Settings inside the app — no need to contact support.
No warranty
HYPE is provided "as is." We work to keep it reliable and your content encrypted in transit and at rest where noted, but we don't guarantee uninterrupted service.
Changes
We may update these terms as the platform evolves; continued use after a change means you accept the update.
