Terms of Use
Coupla · in effect from 5 November 2026
English · Türkçe
These terms are the agreement between you and us — Yunus Sina Gülşen, Istanbul, Türkiye, who makes Coupla — for using the app. You accept them by pressing Agree in the app, after you first sign in; if you do not, please do not use Coupla. How we handle your data is in the privacy policy.
In short
- What you put in Coupla stays yours.
- Only the people in a space see what is in it.
- Nothing that abuses, threatens or exploits anybody is allowed — a child’s safety first.
- You can leave a space, or delete your account, at any time, free.
- A change to these terms that matters is told in the app ahead of its day, and you are asked to accept it on that day.
What Coupla is
Private shared spaces: one just for you, one for you and your partner, one for you and one other person, or one for a group. People join a space only by an invitation from somebody in it, and what is in a space is seen by the people in it and nobody else.
Your account
You must be 18 or older to use Coupla.
You sign in with Google or Apple, and the account is yours alone: do not let anybody else use it, and do not use anybody else's. You are responsible for what is done from it.
What you put in Coupla
It stays yours. You let us store it, make the copies Coupla needs to work and send it to the people in the space you put it in, for as long as it is in Coupla, including what stays in a space after you leave it or delete your account. We read the page of a link you save, so it shows a title and a picture. Nothing else.
You must have the right to share what you share — other people’s pictures and information included.
What is not allowed
There is no tolerance in Coupla for objectionable content or abusive users. You may not use Coupla to put up, send or share:
- anything that sexually abuses or exploits a child, or sexualises anybody under 18 — see Child safety;
- intimate pictures or videos of anybody without their consent;
- threats, harassment, bullying or intimidation;
- hate against people for their race, ethnicity, religion, disability, sex, gender, sexual orientation, nationality or any other part of who they are;
- content that promotes terrorism or violent extremism, or urges anybody to hurt themselves or others;
- anything illegal, or that infringes somebody else’s rights, their copyright and their privacy among them;
- malware, scams, phishing or spam.
Nor may you impersonate anybody, use Coupla to stalk or watch somebody, invite somebody into a space to abuse them, or try to get into accounts or spaces that are not yours, or to break, overload or get round Coupla’s limits.
Child safety
These are Coupla’s standards against child sexual abuse and exploitation (CSAE). Coupla forbids it in every form: sexual abuse material involving a child (CSAM), grooming, sextortion, and anything that sexualises a minor. When we learn of it, we remove it, close the accounts involved and report it to the relevant authorities, as the law requires.
To report it, use Report on the item or on the person’s page, or write to coupla@sinaware.com, our child safety contact, and say which space and what you saw; these reports come first. Do not copy, save or send on what you saw, not even to us.
Reporting, and leaving
If something in a space breaks these terms, or somebody in one is abusing you, use Report — in an item’s menu, or at the foot of the person’s page — which sends us a report from the app, naming what you are reporting. Or tell us at coupla@sinaware.com — in the app, the Profile tab, then Contact — and say which space and what. We read every report and act on it promptly.
You can leave any space at any time, and Coupla has nothing outside its spaces — no messages, no search for people, no public profiles — so once you have left every space somebody is in, they cannot reach you in Coupla.
You can also be removed from a space by somebody else in it. In a space for two, either of you can remove the other; in a group, whoever made it can — or, once they have left, whoever has been in it longest. Somebody removed loses the space on every phone, is told they are no longer in it but not who removed them, and can come back only with a new code.
Anybody, in Coupla or not, can tell us about something in it they believe is illegal: write to coupla@sinaware.com with where it is, what it is and why. If something in Coupla uses work you own without permission — a picture a link’s preview shows included — tell us and we take it down within three days. An intimate picture of you shared without your consent comes down within 48 hours of your asking. Somebody who does it again and again loses their account.
What we may do
If you break these terms, we may remove what you put up, suspend your account, or close it. While your account is suspended you cannot use Coupla until we lift it; we suspend an account while we look at a report, or instead of closing it, and we say why and how to disagree. We do it at once only for serious harm — child abuse, threats, intimate pictures shared without consent, or what a court or the police order. Otherwise we tell the person first and give them a chance to answer. Either way we say what and why, the same day unless the law or somebody’s safety stops us, and they can write back to ask us to look again. A person decides, never a program.
We may change Coupla or stop offering it; if we stop, the app will say so first.
A space nobody in it has opened Coupla for three months is deleted, with everything in it, after a notification to everybody in it a week before and again the day before. Opening Coupla keeps it.
Ending
You can delete your account at any time: in the app, the Profile tab, then Delete account, or as how to delete your account explains.
What we are responsible for
We work to keep Coupla running and what you put in it safe, but it is not a backup: keep your own copy of anything you cannot lose.
We are responsible for what we do on purpose or through gross negligence, for harm to anybody’s life or health, and for damage to your phone or your files that our lack of care causes. Beyond that — for ordinary negligence only — Coupla is free and comes as it is, and we are not liable for losses from using it or from being unable to. Nothing here takes away a right the law gives you that cannot be taken away.
Changes
We change these terms only for a reason we give — a new feature, a change in the law, keeping people safe. If a change matters, the app tells you what changes and the day it starts, at least thirty days ahead for a change against you. From that day it asks you to accept the new terms before you carry on; if you would rather not, you can delete your account, free. Until that day the old terms stand.
The law
These terms are under Turkish law. Wherever you live, you keep the protection its law gives you, and can go to its courts.
The rest
If a part of these terms is found void, the rest stands. Not acting on a term is not giving it up. We may pass Coupla on to somebody who keeps these terms. We tell you things in the app; you tell us at coupla@sinaware.com.
