Ethics policy

Sugar Daddy Belgium is more than a dating platform - it is a community built on fundamental values. This ethical policy is the compass by which we navigate: it defines what we tolerate as a platform, what we actively encourage, and where we absolutely draw the line.

Why an ethics policy?

Sugar dating moves in a social grey area where misunderstandings, prejudices and - unfortunately - abuse can occur. We take our responsibility seriously. This policy does not exist to impose rules, but to create a safe space where adults can discover what they are looking for with respect for each other.

🛡️

Protection

We protect our members from exploitation, fraud, harassment and other forms of abuse that can occur in online dating.

⚖️

Balance sheet

We strive for equal relationships in which both parties make free and informed choices, without coercion or dependence.

🌟

Reputation

By maintaining high ethical standards, we differentiate ourselves from platforms that are less careful about their responsibility.

Our seven ethical pillars

These fundamental principles underpin everything we do. They are non-negotiable and apply in all circumstances.

1

Respect and human dignity

Every individual deserves respect, regardless of their role on the platform, background or situation. Insults, humiliation, objectification and any form of disrespectful treatment are unacceptable. We expect members to approach each other as they themselves would like to be approached.

2

Voluntary and informed consent

Every interaction - online and offline - must be based on free will. Consent must be explicitly given, can be withdrawn at any time, and should never be obtained under pressure or manipulation. This applies to communication, encounters, and all forms of personal contact.

3

Legal compliance - zero tolerance for illegality

We operate within the boundaries of Belgian and European legislation. Activities that break the law - including human trafficking, exploitation, fraud, money laundering, or any form of crime - will not be tolerated and will be reported to the competent authorities.

4

Authenticity and honesty

Trust starts with truth. We expect members to be honest about who they are, what they are looking for, and what they have to offer. Deception - whether fake photos, fabricated stories, or hidden intentions - undermines the foundation of any potential relationship.

5

Protection of privacy and personal boundaries

Everyone's privacy is sacred. Sharing others' personal information without permission - including photos, conversations, contact details or locations - is strictly prohibited. Similarly, we respect everyone's right to set limits on what they share or discuss.

6

Inclusion and non-discrimination

Our community welcomes people of all backgrounds. Hate speech, discrimination, and exclusion based on ethnicity, nationality, religion, gender, sexual orientation, age (18+), disability or socio-economic status will not be tolerated.

7

Commercial integrity

Our business activities - advertisements, sponsorships, partnerships - are communicated transparently and must never compromise the safety of our members or the integrity of our moderation. Money buys no exceptions to our rules.

Code of conduct: concrete rules

Safe dating - recommendations for meetings

When you decide to meet someone in real life, take your safety seriously. Some key recommendations:

📍

Public location

First meetings always in a busy, public place - a café, restaurant or daytime terrace.

👋

Tell someone

Inform a friend or relative about where you are going, with whom, and when you expect to be back.

🚗

Own transport

Go by your own car or public transport, so you can leave whenever you want.

📹

Advance video call

Consider a video call before the physical meeting to verify that the person is who they claim to be.

💸

No advances

Never send money to someone you have not yet met in person, regardless of the story.

🔐

Protect your data

Never share passwords, verification codes, ID documents or bank details via chat.

Extensive safety tips can be found in our Guide to Safe Online Dating.

Frequently asked questions

Is sugar dating legal in Belgium? +

Yes, sugar dating is legal. It involves relationships between adults in which aspects such as financial support, mentoring or lifestyle may occur. This is fundamentally different from prostitution, which involves direct payment for sexual services. We do not tolerate activities that cross the line into illegality.

What is the difference between sugar dating and prostitution? +

Sugar dating involves a relationship - romantic or otherwise - in which financial support or lifestyle may play a role, but where the interaction is not limited to transactional sex. Prostitution involves direct payment for specific sexual acts. We explicitly prohibit the negotiation of paid sexual services on our platform.

Someone asks me for money before we have met. What should I do? +

This is a classic warning signal for scams. Never send money to someone you haven't met in person, no matter how convincing the story sounds. Report this profile immediately at meldingen@sugardaddybelgium.eu so we can take action.

Someone keeps sending me messages after I have said I am not interested. Is this allowed? +

No. When someone indicates they are not interested, the other person should respect this. Persistent unwanted contact is harassment and a violation of our ethics policy. Please use the block button and report the behaviour so we can take action.

Does Sugar Daddy Belgiëreport cases to the police? +

In serious crimes - such as suspected human trafficking, child abuse, concrete threats or large-scale fraud - we are legally and ethically obliged to contact the relevant authorities. We cooperate with police and judicial authorities when necessary to ensure safety.
