FAQ

Answers to common questions about Galerie Minuit — how it works, privacy, safety, pricing, age verification, couples accounts, and more.

Getting Started

What is Galerie Minuit?
A privacy-first social platform for open-minded adults and couples in the lifestyle community. Verified members, real connections, zero judgement.
How does Galerie Minuit work?
Sign up with your email, complete age verification, set up your profile, and start browsing verified members. Join clubs, groups, and events in your area. Message other members once you've completed verification.
Is Galerie Minuit free?
Yes. Free membership includes core browsing, groups, events, and replies. Supporter access adds protected content, unlimited browsing, and community perks. Annual Supporter is £45/year.
Can I join as a couple?
Yes. During onboarding, select "Couple" as your account type. Both partners should be aware of and consent to the account. You can link individual profiles or create a shared couple profile.
What countries is Galerie Minuit available in?
Galerie Minuit is available in the UK, EU, and most English-speaking countries. Age verification requirements may vary by region. The platform is designed to be GDPR compliant for EU users.
How old do I need to be to join?
You must be 18 or older. We require age verification during onboarding. In the UK and EU, we comply with the Online Safety Act 2023 which requires highly effective age assurance for adult content platforms.

Privacy & Safety

Is Galerie Minuit private?
Yes. Only registered, age-verified members can see your profile. Your profile is not visible to search engines or non-members. You control your visibility in Settings → Privacy.
Can Google see my profile?
No. All member profiles, photos, and conversations are behind authentication. Search engines cannot index any member content. We block crawling of all private routes in our robots.txt.
Is my data safe?
We take privacy seriously. All data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest. We are fully GDPR compliant. We never sell your data. See our Privacy Policy for full details.
How does age verification work?
During onboarding, we route you through available age-verification methods for your region. We store only the verification outcome — not your documents. Methods include facial age estimation, photo ID, and credit card verification depending on your region.
How do I report someone?
Tap the three-dot menu (⋯) on any profile, message, or content and select "Report". You can also email safety@galerieminuit.com. Reports are reviewed within 24-48 hours.
How do I block someone?
Go to their profile and tap "Block". They cannot see your profile, send messages, or interact with you. Manage blocked users in Settings → Blocked.

Account & Billing

How do I delete my account?
Go to Settings → Account → Delete Account. Your profile, photos, and data will be removed within 30 days. Some data may be retained longer for legal compliance (e.g., payment records for 7 years).
How do I export my data?
Go to Settings → Privacy → Export My Data. We generate a JSON file with all your personal data, available for download for 7 days. This is your right under GDPR Article 20.
What appears on my bank statement?
Charges appear as a discreet CCBill descriptor — not "Galerie Minuit". The exact descriptor is shown before you complete payment. We understand discretion matters.
Can I get a refund?
We offer a 14-day full refund, no questions asked, on Supporter memberships. If you believe you've been incorrectly charged, contact billing@galerieminuit.com within 30 days.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept all major credit and debit cards processed securely via CCBill. Your statement will show a discreet billing descriptor.

Features

What are Clubs?
Clubs are venue-based communities, often representing real-world lifestyle clubs or venues. Club owners can manage their presence on the platform and connect with members.
What are Groups?
Groups are community spaces organised around shared interests, locations, or topics. Any member can create a group. Groups can be public or private.
What are community boards?
Community boards are topic-based discussion areas for open conversation, local advice, and lifestyle questions.
What is Meet Today?
Meet Today is an availability signal inside For You and Browse filters. It helps you find nearby members who are also open to meeting soon.
What is the Hotlist?
The Hotlist lets you bookmark members you're interested in. You can organise bookmarked members into folders for easy access later.

Verification & Trust

How does profile verification work?
Members can earn verified badges for age and photo verification. Verified profiles appear more prominently in search results. Verification helps you know who you're talking to.
What does the verified badge mean?
A verified badge means the member has completed additional identity or photo verification beyond the required age check. It's a trust signal, not an endorsement.
Is Galerie Minuit better than SDC or Kasidie?
Galerie Minuit offers modern, mobile-first UX, UK Online Safety Act compliant age verification, AI-powered content moderation, and privacy-first design, with a free tier and an annual Supporter at £45. SDC and Kasidie are long-established lifestyle platforms; we don't restate their current pricing or features here — see the full comparison for what we can verify. See the full SDC & Kasidie comparison.
How does Galerie Minuit compare to Feeld?
Feeld is a broad, mainstream app for open-minded dating. Galerie Minuit is purpose-built for the lifestyle community with verified profiles, clubs, groups, events, and community features. We're GDPR compliant with UK OSA-ready age verification and a privacy-first design focused specifically on the lifestyle. See the full Feeld comparison.
