We’re different because we take your search as seriously as you do. Our discerning application process keeps the community well-balanced, highly engaged, and full of high-powered (and empowered) people committed to finding love.

At the League, we provide a highly curated experience where members are introduced to a limited daily number of high-potential matches, leading to IRL connections and onto a meaningful relationship.

Over half of League members went to top 40 colleges, 30% have advanced degrees, and a quarter are in Executive or Director roles in their professions. The League strongly believes that three quality matches are better than 100 bad ones. So keep those standards sky-high— because a Leaguer would rather be single than settle.

Ah, the all-powerful League matching algorithm. Wondering how it works and how you can make it work best for you? Let’s review:

Every day at Happy Hour (5pm local time), you’ll receive profiles to review on the Scout tab. We do our very best to only show you to people who meet your preferences, AND where you meet theirs, prioritized by those with whom we think you will have the highest compatibility–we don’t believe in wasting anyone’s time! The number of potentials you see daily is calculated primarily based on your subscription tier. Still, that number is also dependent on the size of our community in your area as well as your preferences.

Behavioral data and years of experience creating successful matches allow The League to make additional recommendations for you based on more than just your preferences. For example, set a goal to become Pickleball World Champion? You just might find your practice partner and soulmate in your next Batch based on that shared goal.

In an ongoing effort to foster a highly engaged community, a user who likes everyone but never messages will be deprioritized in the matching algorithm. This lack of communication on the app will also impact your flakiness score, and ‘Flakes’ will eventually get kicked out! On the other hand, users who log in daily have a higher match rate, so check the app often.

So now that you know how the algorithm works, how can you get more matches? First, make sure you have a complete profile and 6 high-quality photos. Your first photo is your first impression, so make sure it’s your best one!

Next, be open-minded. Your height/age/distance preferences may be causing you to filter out ‘THE ONE,’ not to mention narrowing your dating pool. We recommend being as inclusive as possible. And the more people you like, the higher your chances of matching.

We require you to authenticate your account to receive free access to The League as a Member. LinkedIn is our preferred method for verification. With LinkedIn, we can automatically import your education and profession for you as well as hide you from your coworkers. (Do you want to see your boss on a dating app? We didn’t think so.) We will not show any LinkedIn data outside of your education and profession, and you can control what data is visible on your profile. To do this, go to Edit Profile then Education or Profession and tap the green eye icons signifying ‘visible’ to make them hidden. 

Alternatively, we offer Doximity, an edu email verification, or corporate email address verification as alternate authentication methods.

LinkedIn does not give us access to your username and password so there is no risk to you. LinkedIn provides a portal that we integrate with to allow you to link your profile without us ever knowing your user credentials. Thus, we do not have access to your username and password.

To support daily business and technical operations
Operating The League involves a lot of daily business and technical operations, including hosting data securely, providing you with good customer care support, operating advertising and marketing campaigns, understanding what users like or dislike about our services so we can make them better, performing research and development, facilitating payments, managing revenue and accounting, fighting against spam, abuse, fraud and similar harmful behaviors, legal support and others. We share information about you with affiliated Match Group companies so they can help us perform some of these daily operations as our service providers.

To help keep you and others safe
We share and receive information about you with/across Match Group companies to aid us in our efforts to keep you safe. This enables us to do things like:

• Investigate, identify and take action against (e.g. ban) fake accounts, spam, abuse, fraud and other wrongdoings across Match Group services.
• Identify and combat potential discrimination or bias, by improving our ability to check the design and usage of Match Group services against discriminatory or biased outcomes.
• Work with law enforcement when we suspect things such as fraud or harmful or illegal activity, or to help prevent death or imminent bodily harm.

To personalize your experience on Match Group services (where and as allowed by applicable law)
If you’re using more than one Match Group service, sharing your information with other Match Group companies allows us to personalize your experience on Hinge and across these services. This personalization includes, for example, the prices and discounts you’ll experience on the Match Group services you use. For instance, the prices and discounts you may see for our service may vary, based on the fact that you also use another Match Group service or used a paid feature on that other service.

To understand how people use Match Group services 
Sharing information helps us understand how people use Match Group services, for instance by more accurately counting the number of unique registered, active or paid users across Match Group services, how many Match Group services they use on average, how people go from one to the other, and how usage patterns might differ.

If your account has been banned or you have had content removed from The League, but you do not believe you have violated our Terms of Service or Guidelines, you can submit an appeal directly through the form linked below.

We’ll only review appeals that provide all of the required information and are submitted directly through this designated form. If your form is incomplete, we cannot review or process your application to appeal. Your appeal must be submitted within 6 months of the date of the action you are contesting.

Please note, multiple appeal submissions will not be considered and may alter your position in the queue. Please click HERE to access The League’s appeals form.

Keeping you safe is and will always be a top priority. We use automated tools to scan interactions like messages and video calls solely for indications of harmful or illegal behavior.

Our trained agents may review interactions that are flagged by our automated tools or in response to a user report. We may use these examples to train our technology to improve our ability to find and remove similar content.

If you are a The League’s member located in the European Economic Area, Switzerland, or the UK, you may contact The League’s Data Protection Officer (“DPO”) directly by postal mail at the address listed in  Section 13 of the League’s Privacy Policy or by reaching out to our customer care team at contact@theleague.com.

Your privacy and safety is the top priority of The League. It is at the core of the way we design and build the services and products you know and love, so that you can fully trust them and focus on building meaningful connections.

As part of our commitment to transparency in the way we process your information, we explain here what profiling is, why it is at the heart of our service and how you benefit from it.

What is automated decision-making and profiling?

Various privacy laws in the US and around the world address automated decision-making and profiling. For example, Europe’s data protection framework, the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), provides the following definitions:

– Automated individual decision-making: making a decision about an individual solely by automated means (i.e., using computers and algorithms only, without any human involvement in the decision-making process);

– Profiling: evaluating certain things about an individual, including interests, preferences or behavior, through an automated processing of personal data (e.g., using computers and algorithms to determine someone’s interests based on his or her online behavior).

How does The League use automated decision-making or profiling?

Automated decision-making and profiling are invisible features that are at the core of the services you know and love, upon which we constantly improve and without which we would be unable to help you build meaningful connections. The League uses these features for the following reasons:

– To help connect you with other great The League members.

We use the information you and other members of The League community provide us directly or through your use of our service (including, for example, age, gender, location, interests, your preferences, and who you like, skip, or match with) to power our proprietary matching algorithm and recommend compatible people to you.  We use the same process to recommend you to other users. 

Of course, you can also always change your discovery settings to filter profiles which are shown to you on The League.

– To promote safety and security.

We use automated decision-making and profiling as part of our moderation efforts (for example, removing bots), as well as to promote the safety and security of our users by making it easier to prevent illegal and unauthorized actions from happening and to swiftly and efficiently detect and fight those actions when they happen.

This processing may lead to suspension or account closure for users who are reported or found to engage in illegal or unauthorized activities, both on and off our services, without prejudice to other legal actions we could take.

See our Privacy Policy to learn more about how we process personal data (Section 4 – “How We Use Your Data”) and your rights (Section 9 – “Your Rights”). If you close your account, your data will be retained only for limited purposes and deleted, as described in our Privacy Policy (Section 9 – “How Long We Retain Your Data”).

Wait times are calculated based on complete profiles, demand in your location, and interest in your profile from our user community. We prioritize subscribers, Golden Ticket holders, and users who have made an endorsement, followed by all others on the waitlist. Since members of The League’s in-app community review and vote on waitlist profiles like yours, to maximize your chances of getting in, it’s essential to verify your account, optimize your photos, complete your ‘About Me’ section, and other profile information as soon as you can.

Your waitlist application will be retained for a maximum of 2 years from the application date, after which it will be deleted. If your application is not approved within this period, you are welcome to reapply.

You can also remove your waitlist profile at any point by selecting the “Delete Account” button within the app settings.

The Digital Services Act (DSA) is a European Union (EU) regulation that requires online platforms to provide a dedicated report flow for EU users to report illegal content under EU or Member State law. 

Content that violates our Terms of Service, Community Guidelines, or is illegal will be removed from our platform. Per our policies, additional action may be taken against the account responsible for the prohibited content. 

EU Users: If you find content you believe is illegal, please submit a report through the in-app report option by clicking Report Illegal Content under Settings>Support. Alternatively, EU users may report illegal content by clicking HERE.

In your report, please provide the following information to help us promptly identify the content at issue and take action on your report, including: 

• how the content is illegal
• how we can locate the content being reported
• any other additional information that could be helpful (including screenshots or attachments)

If there is not enough information to identify the reported content, we may be unable to take action on the report. 

Non-EU Users – Users outside the EU are encouraged to report illegal or prohibited content through the in-app reporting options available on the profile where the content is also located. You can click on the Flag icon in the lower-left corner of the user profile you are reporting and tell us why you are flagging them by clicking “Other” and giving us details.  You may also email Safety@TheLeague.com with the details of why you are reporting.
