Age Suitability
Connection Ocean is a language and cultural exchange service intended only for adults. This page explains the service's age eligibility policy and the safeguards available to members.
Adult eligibility
You must be 18 years of age or older to use Connection Ocean. People under 18 may not create or update a profile or use member discovery, messaging, audio calls, or video calls.
Features covered by this policy
Connection Ocean includes social and communication features intended for adult language and cultural exchange:
- Public-facing member profiles
- Member discovery
- User-generated content, including profile text and photos
- Direct messaging
- Audio calls
- Video calls
How age eligibility is handled
Eligibility is based on the birth date supplied by the user. Connection Ocean does not independently verify every user's age, does not currently use third-party verified age assurance, and does not currently use Apple's Declared Age Range API.
This eligibility policy is separate from the App Store age rating, which Apple calculates from the app's content and capabilities.
Safety controls and moderation
Report a member from Discover or their profile. Reports notify the moderation team by email for review and appropriate action. Blocking prevents further interaction and does not itself submit a report. Profile text and photos are reviewed before changes are published. You can replace rejected submissions. New accounts requiring approval remain inactive until approved.
