Dion Terms of Service

November 20, 2024

Welcome to Dion, the revolutionary application that transforms socializing by allowing users to connect through the act of treating each other. At Dion, we prioritize creating a welcoming and secure environment for our community, where every member feels their privacy is guarded and respected

We carefully choose community members who demonstrate a commitment to our code of conduct, especially regarding the respect for others' privacy. These members are expected to uphold these standards as part of their agreement with our Terms of Use. We also conduct regular reviews of our community, removing anyone who violates our conduct code or engages in disrespectful or inappropriate behavior.

Dion offers privacy controls such as the ability to “become non-discoverable”, so hide your profile when you prefer not to be contacted. These options let you maintain existing conversations while preventing new members from viewing your profile. Additionally, we’ve made it simple to manage your “social mode” and location settings, ensuring you have complete control and visibility over your location data.

In essence, our community’s well-being is paramount. Your comfort, security, and trust are the core values that guide us. Every decision we make is aimed at offering the fulfilling experience you seek. For any inquiries about these Terms of Use, your membership, or any other part of Dion, please don’t hesitate to contact us at: contact@dionapp.com.
