inEden — Community Guidelines

Version: 2026-07-16 Effective Date: May 17, 2026 Last Updated: July 16, 2026

These Community Guidelines ("Guidelines") describe how we gather on inEden — what belongs, what doesn't, and how we keep this space safe. They supplement our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. By using inEden, you agree to follow these Guidelines.

Rose Global LLC d/b/a In Eden ("inEden," "we," "us") may update these Guidelines from time to time. Material changes will be communicated via email or in-app notice.

Connected for such a time as this.

1. What we're building

inEden is a women-centered, city-anchored community for values-aligned connection — not a women-only platform. Members come from different backgrounds, faith traditions, life stages, and cities. The connective tissue is a shared commitment to gather intentionally, with care.

Faith is the foundation of inEden's design, but it is not a gate. Members choose whether to unlock faith-rooted content through a reversible profile toggle. That choice affects what you see in your feed — never whether you belong. These Guidelines apply equally regardless of that choice.

The member experience lives in our iOS app. The website at ineden.app is our public home, plus Founder and Admin portals. Members who sign in on web are directed to download the app.

2. Who can be here

• You must be 18 or older to use inEden.
• inEden is women-centered — built for women who want intentional belonging — but not women-only at the platform level. Applicable law does not permit us to deny membership based on gender; see Section 4.1 of our Terms of Service for the full posture.
• We ask how you identify (Woman / Man / Prefer not to say) for personalization and safety messaging. We do not use gender to deny signup or feature access at the platform level.
• Men who join see a one-time awareness screen explaining that inEden is women-centered. Acknowledging it is eyes-open consent — not a block.
• Friend Match suggests women-to-women connections only at v1. There is no setting to expand this. That is a discovery preference, not platform-access denial — men may still sign up, join groups, send and receive DMs (within connection and account rules), and see content.
• Group hosts (Founders) may declare their group women-only via Group Settings. That is a host's documented participation policy, not a platform-wide block. Hosts are responsible for their own group rules and for compliance with local law.
• In-person events are run by independent hosts. Most gatherings in our community are predominantly women, but who may attend a specific event is decided by that host and by venue and local rules — not by inEden. Tapping "I'm going" in the app adds an event to your private save list. It does not RSVP you with the host or guarantee admission.

3. Where we gather

inEden is organized around your city, your interests, and the groups you join. The main surfaces:

4. Your account and privacy

• Sign-in: Apple, Google, or username + password (with a 6-digit email code for signup verification and password recovery).
• No identity verification: We do not collect biometric data, run facial recognition, or background-check members. We do not represent that any member is who they claim to be. Your safety tools are the connection-request handshake, Block, and Report — on every member-facing surface.
• Block creates mutual invisibility — neither person sees the other anywhere on the platform, and no notification is sent to the blocked party.
• Cycle wellness (Move) is informational only — not medical advice. Logging requires explicit consent before any write. See our Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy.

5. What belongs here

• Kindness and curiosity — even when you disagree.
• Vulnerability shared with consent and care — not pressure.
• Celebrating other women's wins without comparison or competition.
• Honest conversation about faith, work, relationships, health, and growth — without dogmatic pressure.
• Prayer requests on group boards, offered with care and received with respect.
• Invitations to real, in-person gatherings through proper event surfaces.
• Asking for help, and offering it — with boundaries respected.
• Founder and member content that is thoughtful, on-brand, and clearly attributed.

6. What doesn't belong

Any of the following may result in content removal, suspension, or permanent account termination:

1. Harassment, bullying, stalking, or personal attacks. Disagree with an idea; never attack a person.
2. Hate speech or discrimination based on race, ethnicity, national origin, disability, age, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, or socio-economic status.
3. Sexual content and solicitation. inEden is not a space for sexually explicit messages, images, or unsolicited sexual advances. Thoughtful conversation about relationships is welcome; pornographic material is not.
4. Content involving minors in unsafe or inappropriate contexts. We report child sexual abuse material (CSAM) and imminent safety concerns involving minors to appropriate authorities without delay.
5. Spam, scams, or commercial pitches outside proper Founder channels. No pyramid schemes, MLM recruitment, or "DM me for my link."
6. Misinformation about health, science, or public safety that could cause real harm — especially in wellness or faith contexts.
7. Impersonation of another member, celebrity, public figure, or inEden staff.
8. Privacy violations — screenshotting and sharing private DMs without consent, doxxing, or posting identifying information about others.
9. Proselytizing or dogmatic pressure — sharing your faith is welcome; pressuring others to adopt yours is not.
10. Illegal activity — if it's illegal offline, it's not welcome here.
11. Circumventing safety tools — contacting someone who blocked or declined you, bulk connection-request spam, or evading rate limits.
12. Misrepresenting events or ticketing — fake events, bait-and-switch gatherings, or mislabeled ticket links.
13. Yoga or sound-bath content, in any form. inEden doesn't host these categories — as classes, events, groups, or resources. Content will be removed, and repeat attempts to publish it may result in the host being blocked.

Zero tolerance: We have zero tolerance for objectionable content and abusive users. Every member-facing surface includes Block and Report tools. We review reports and act — removing content and/or ejecting users — within 24 hours for routine issues and immediately for urgent safety concerns.

7. Direct messages and connections

• No DMs to strangers. Connection requests require mutual acceptance before messaging opens.
• Optional 200-character note on connection requests — use it thoughtfully; bulk identical notes trigger rate limits.
• Photos in DMs (iOS at v1): one photo per message, 5 MB max, auto-pruned after 30 days. No sexually explicit images.
• Tapback reactions (like, love, praying-hands, laugh, exclaim, question) are allowed. Voice notes are not supported at v1.
• Read receipts and typing indicators are off by default and opt-in per thread.
• Founder exception: Founders may DM members of groups they lead without a prior connection request. Membership is treated as implicit consent to community leadership contact.
• Founder blasts (push + email + in-app card) may be muted per Founder in Notifications — independent of every other notification category.

8. Groups, events, and Founder content

• Group joins are instant for all group types — no Founder approval gate for membership.
• Message boards are curated broadcast spaces: group leaders and admins post threads (text, photo, question, or prayer request); members react and comment but do not start their own threads.
• Events on inEden are discovery surfaces. Most paid ticket events link to external ticketing platforms (Eventbrite, Luma, and others). Some Founders may sell a single flat-price in-person ticket through inEden checkout (Stripe in browser) — all sales final at v1.1. Free events support a private "I'm going" save list on Home; that is not an RSVP with the host.
• Third-party listings surface public information about independent hosts and businesses for city discovery — not as advertising or endorsement. If you operate a listed group or business and want a listing reviewed or removed, email support@ineden.app with subject "Listing Dispute" (see Terms §9.4). Copyright claims use the DMCA process in Terms §9.3.
• Founder blasts are limited to 5 per rolling 24 hours per group. Blasts must be relevant to the group community — not spam. Push respects quiet hours (10pm–7am) in your local timezone.
• Every blast, event, and resource includes a Report button. Founder-content reports route to a separate, higher-priority admin queue. Two reports against a Founder's content in 30 days triggers an automatic pause pending admin re-approval.

9. Safety in real life

inEden connects members in person — at Founder events, classes, and group gatherings. inEden does not vet, background-check, or verify the identity of any member. When meeting someone from inEden for the first time:

• Meet in a public place.
• Tell a trusted person where you'll be and when you expect to return.
• Verify event details independently before attending.
• Trust your instincts — if something feels off, leave. You don't owe anyone an explanation.
• Report concerning behavior via the in-app Report button or email support@ineden.app.
• In an emergency, call your local emergency number (911 in the U.S.).

10. How enforcement works

When a violation is reported, our moderation team reviews it. Depending on severity and history, actions include:

Reports are confidential — the person reported is not told who reported them. The reported member is notified of action taken against them only when we take action (warning, removal, pause, or ban).

11. How to report

Every profile, DM thread, group post, blast, event, resource, and group page includes a Report button. Choose a category (Spam, Harassment, Inappropriate content, Safety concern, Off-brand for inEden, Other), add optional context, and submit.

For urgent safety concerns, email support@ineden.app directly.

After reporting, you may optionally block the member.

12. Appeals

If your account has been suspended or banned and you believe it was an error, email appeals@ineden.app with your account email and a brief explanation. We review appeals within 7 business days.

13. Contact

• Safety reports: support@ineden.app
• Appeals: appeals@ineden.app
• Community feedback: community@ineden.app
• General support: support@ineden.app

These Guidelines exist so belonging stays possible — calm, intentional, and safe. Your feedback shapes how we hold this space.
