We reserve the right to remove content that violates these Terms or our community standards.

6. Matching & Connections

Photobello uses personality-based algorithms to suggest matches. We do not guarantee compatibility, relationship outcomes, or the accuracy of any match scores. Matches are suggestions based on persona data and should not be treated as endorsements of any individual.
