🗽 Zocialized Statement Regarding U.S. Market Withdrawal

Effective Date: September 1, 2025

As of 09/01/2025, Zocialized.net will no longer operate in the United States.

This strategic decision was made after a comprehensive evaluation of our platform’s performance, user experience, and long-term goals across global regions. While the U.S. has been an important part of our journey, several factors led us to reassess our presence in this market:

Key Considerations:

• Community Integrity: Maintaining a respectful and harmonious environment is core to our mission. We observed challenges in moderation within the U.S. sector that impacted the safety and inclusivity of our member experience.
• Operational Complexity: Regulatory and compliance landscapes in the U.S. demand extensive resources that diverted focus from enhancing features and user support for our broader global community.
• Strategic Refocusing: Our strongest engagement and retention rates continue to come from select countries in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. Concentrating efforts where we see consistent alignment with our values enables us to offer richer experiences and grow responsibly.

We remain committed to building a premium dating ecosystem tailored for discerning individuals around the world. This decision is not a reflection of the value of our U.S.-based members, but rather a necessary step to preserve the quality and integrity of our services.

🔐 What Happens to U.S. User Accounts and Data

To ensure a respectful and secure transition, Zocialized.net will implement the following measures for U.S.-based accounts:

• Account Access: U.S. users will retain access to their accounts until August 31, 2025, after which login functionality will be disabled.
• Data Retention & Deletion:
• All personal data associated with U.S. accounts will be securely deleted by October 15, 2025, in accordance with our privacy policy and applicable data protection laws.
• Users may request early deletion or export of their data by contacting our support team via the Contact Page.
• Subscription Refunds: Active premium subscribers in the U.S. will receive prorated refunds for unused membership time. Refunds will be processed automatically within 30 days of service termination.
• Transition Support: Our team will be available to assist with account closure, data export, and any questions regarding the transition. We encourage users to reach out before September 1, 2025 to ensure a smooth experience.

We appreciate your understanding and thank our American members for being a part of our journey. Your presence helped shape Zocialized into what it is today, and we remain grateful for the connections you’ve made and the stories you’ve shared.
