Questions, answered plainly.
What Akin is, why the limits exist, and what happens to your information.
Is Akin a dating app?
No. There is no matching, swiping, profile browsing or direct messaging. Akin is a place to talk about dating, not find a date.
Is Akin anonymous?
Other members see a generated identifier rather than your name, email or photo. Akin still keeps the minimum account information needed to operate and protect the service, so we describe the experience as anonymous-feeling rather than promising absolute anonymity.
Why only four people?
One person starts a conversation and up to three people answer. The cap makes room for different perspectives without turning a vulnerable question into a crowd.
Who can join?
Akin is intended for adults aged 18 and over. The first launch is focused on people dating in Sweden.
How is harmful content handled?
Members can report posts and replies, block another identifier, and contact the safety team. Reports are reviewed by a person and actioned under the community guidelines.
What happens when I delete my account?
Your account is closed, active sessions are revoked and personal data is deleted or irreversibly de-identified unless a limited record must be kept for a valid legal or safety reason.
