The dating-platform glossary.

An extra feature that may have its own price or renewal. Canceling an extra and canceling the base subscription can be separate tasks.

The arrangement that extends a subscription into another paid period unless it is canceled under the applicable terms. Check the final status, not just a button click.

The company and account used to manage a purchase, such as Apple, Google Play or the service directly. Your current phone does not necessarily identify it.

A control aimed at a particular member. Its exact effects vary; it is not the same as a general discovery pause or a formal report.

An action intended to stop the next subscription period. It is distinct from requesting a refund, closing a profile or removing an app.

The product area that shows or recommends profiles. Visibility in discovery can have different controls from existing conversations.

A reversible account action on services that offer it. Read the relevant service’s definition and payment consequences rather than assuming it means deletion.

A calculation that spreads a longer purchase over months. It may differ from the full amount charged at checkout.

A visibility control that may limit new discovery while leaving an account, conversations and billing in place. Check each of those separately.

A product-defined connection between accounts. It is not proof of identity, compatibility, current availability or an intention to meet.

A service’s interpretation of selected answers or inputs. It is not an independently verified probability of a relationship.

The business responsible for the charge. The receipt or statement can help identify who to contact and where to manage renewal.

A defined check involving a person and profile images. Its scope and data processing vary, and a badge is not a safety guarantee.

An account-closure action under the service’s terms. Retention and subscription effects can differ by platform and payment route.

A return of a payment if approved under applicable terms or rights. A request alone is not confirmation that renewal has stopped.

A submission asking the platform to review conduct or content. It can be different from blocking contact and does not guarantee a particular outcome.

The period and reasons for keeping information. A hidden or closed profile is not proof that every associated record is immediately erased.

Deception that uses a personal connection to obtain money, account access or another financial benefit. A persuasive relationship story does not remove the transfer risk.

A limited initial offer with specific conversion and cancellation rules. Ending a trial may affect access immediately; read the actual offer.

Removing the app from a device. It does not establish that an online profile or a recurring purchase has been closed.
