Platform Policies & Disclaimers

📜 Legal Disclaimer & Platform Policy Statement

Welcome to TheRealHim.com, a community-driven platform designed to share honest dating experiences submitted by Verified Sources. Our mission is to provide transparency, awareness, and valuable insight to help women make more informed decisions in their dating lives. While we take steps to ensure the authenticity of those submitting reviews, it's essential to understand the legal foundation of our platform, user responsibilities, and content limitations.

🛡️ Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act (CDA)

TheRealHim.com operates under the protection of Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act (47 U.S. Code § 230). This law states:

“No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider.”

In simpler terms, this means TheRealHim.com is not legally responsible for the content of user-submitted reviews, as long as we are not the creators or editors of that content. We are a neutral platform that provides space for individuals to share their personal dating experiences, and we are protected from liability for that third-party content under federal law.

✅ Verified Source Policy: Who Can Post

To maintain integrity and trust, only Verified Sources can submit reviews to TheRealHim.com. A Verified Source must be a woman who has personally met the man she is reviewing, and who either:

  • Has dated him (casually or seriously),

  • Had an intimate or emotional relationship with him,

  • Or has been a long-time acquaintance (e.g., close friend, coworker, roommate, etc.) who has observed his behavior closely over time.

Before posting, each Verified Source must provide government-issued photo ID for identity verification. While this process confirms that the reviewer is a real person, we do not guarantee the factual accuracy of every story shared.

We emphasize that these are personal experiences, not legal claims, and should be treated as such.

❌ No Defamation or Malicious Conduct Policy

We maintain a zero-tolerance policy for slander, defamation, or intentional misuse of our platform. TheRealHim.com is not a space for revenge, harassment, or personal vendettas.

If a man believes he has been the victim of a malicious, retaliatory, or false review, he may contact us directly through our reporting system. We will conduct a thorough internal review and, if intentional misconduct is found, the Verified Source will be:

  • Permanently banned from the platform

  • And all associated reviews will be removed

Our goal is to protect—not punish. TheRealHim.com is intended to inform and empower, not to cause undue harm.

🔐 Privacy, Anonymity & Confidentiality

We take the privacy and safety of our community extremely seriously. To protect all parties involved—both Verified Sources and individuals mentioned in reviews—we have strict confidentiality protocols in place.

🔒 Verified Source Privacy

Verified Sources are required to submit government-issued photo identification as part of our identity verification process. However, this information is:

  • Never shared with the public

  • Never visible to the person being reviewed

  • Never sold or posted online

Details such as name, age, and email address are collected strictly for verification and statistical purposes only. Your privacy is non-negotiable, and we are fully committed to maintaining anonymity and discretion for every Verified Source.

⚠️ Personally Identifiable Information (PII) Policy

To protect our community from harassment, retaliation, or doxxing, Verified Sources are strongly advised not to include any personally identifiable information (PII) about themselves or any third-party individuals who may be mentioned in their review.

This includes, but is not limited to:

  • Full names (of people other than the person being reviewed)

  • Addresses

  • Phone numbers

  • Workplaces

  • License plates

  • Photos

  • Social media handles (unless they belong to the person being reviewed)

🔎 You may identify the person you are reviewing using reasonable public details such as:

  • First and last name

  • Approximate date of birth or age

  • Social media usernames or profiles

However, no other individuals—including friends, family members, partners, coworkers, or others—should be named or identifiable in your review.

Any content that violates this policy may be edited or removed, and repeat offenses can lead to permanent banning from the platform.

⚠️ Reader Responsibility & Safety Guidelines

TheRealHim.com is a source of insight, not absolute truth. As with reviews on Yelp, Google, or other community-driven platforms, the content here reflects individual perceptions and personal experiences, which can be subjective.

We encourage every reader to:

  • Avoid confronting any individual about content they’ve read on this site.

  • Never treat any single review as 100% fact—each story is just one perspective.

  • Use the information here as a starting point to recognize patterns and red flags.

  • Conduct further research before making personal decisions, including:

    • Checking criminal records

    • Searching civil court filings

    • Looking into marriage or divorce records

    • Investigating online footprints and social media behavior

Your safety is your responsibility. Use this information wisely, discreetly, and thoughtfully.

🚨 Safety First

If you are in immediate danger, fear for your safety, or are experiencing abuse, please do not use TheRealHim.com as a reporting tool. Contact your local authorities or emergency services right away.

While TheRealHim.com is a space for women to share their experiences and help others make informed decisions, it is not a substitute for law enforcement, legal support, or crisis intervention. We do not have the ability to intervene in emergencies or provide direct protection.

If you ever feel unsafe or believe that a review you've posted has put you at risk, we strongly urge you to visit your account settings and remove the review immediately. Your safety always comes first.

You can also contact our support team if you need additional help with account actions or privacy-related concerns.

Here are some trusted resources if you need immediate support:

  • 911 or local emergency services

  • National Domestic Violence Hotline: 1-800-799-SAFE (7233) or thehotline.org

  • RAINN (Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network): 1-800-656-HOPE (4673) or rainn.org

Please take care of yourself. Once you are safe and ready, you're always welcome to share your experience—anonymously and on your terms.
