Community / charter
The eye icon and its count, to the right of the reactions, show how many members opened the Talk. Each member is counted once, even if they return; the author’s own visits are excluded. Opening a Talk does not prove it was fully read. All members allowed to access the Talk see this count. Only its author with an active Premium subscription can see the full visitor list. Blocks and profile visibility restrictions are respected. Incognito hides profile and Talk visits: a visit made in incognito stays hidden after it is turned off. It contributes to the count without revealing an identity. A new visit outside incognito may appear. Available history is recovered when the visitor and the visit’s incognito status can be established; uncertain visits do not reveal identities.
If you have Premium and receive the weekly recap, an initial introduction may show visitors to your Talks, including older discussions. Later recaps show new visitors from that week. Without Premium, you may receive a one-time introductory email once ten different members have viewed your published Talks and at least three visitors can be displayed, subject to your commercial email preferences. A person who viewed several of your Talks counts only once towards this threshold. The preview shows three visitors. The same incognito and blocking rules apply.

A person who viewed several of your Talks counts only once towards this threshold. The preview shows three visitors. The same incognito and blocking rules apply.
You can block a member from their profile. Blocking cuts off all contact: you can no longer see or interact with each other, and some existing links are cleaned up (mutual favorites, forum follows, participation in each other's events). It is not possible to block an administrator. You can find and unblock your blocked members in the settings.
The list of your blocked members is accessible from your settings. You can unblock a member there, or use the block button on their profile, which acts as a toggle (block / unblock depending on the current status). Once unblocked, interactions become possible again.
Hiding is a gentler option than blocking: it removes a member from your lists so you no longer see them, without the complete cutoff or link cleanup that blocking entails. It's a setting on your side only: the hidden person is not notified and continues to see you normally. To cut the link in both directions, use blocking instead. As with blocking, you cannot hide an administrator, the action works as a toggle (hide / unhide), and you can find the list of your hidden members in your settings.
The "Super Atypiker" badge celebrates members who truly bring the community to life every day: those who organize, participate, exchange, and animate the forums. You get it automatically when your recent engagement is high, and you keep it as long as you remain active (the status is valid for about a month, extended as long as activity is maintained). To prevent it from flickering, we don't remove it at the slightest dip. Its loss happens silently, without notification, and it returns as soon as you re-engage.
The "Happy to Chat" badge indicates that a member is responsive to the first messages they receive. Specifically, it is displayed for members who respond to the vast majority of first messages they receive, once they have received enough to be evaluated (otherwise no badge, and no penalty). The badge is silently removed after a long period of inactivity and automatically reappears upon reconnection if the rule is still met. It is independent of Super Atypiker status.
You can add a member to your favorites from their profile. When a like is mutual, it becomes a match. In your "connections" area, you'll find the likes you've sent, those you've received, and your mutual matches, as well as your profile visitors. Non-premium members have a limited number of likes per day; beyond that, a message will invite you to go premium.
Have your initial conversations on Atypikoo, where you can remain anonymous and block or report someone with a single click. Be wary of anyone who wants to switch to another messaging app too quickly, refuses all calls, or has an overly smooth discourse. Before meeting: take the time to chat, make at least one audio or video call, choose a public place, inform a friend or family member, and plan a way to get home. Never make a bank transfer or share your bank details.
On the website, open https://www.atypikoo.com/browse/ and select “Filter” (the sliders icon) to open the search options. Your location must be set in your profile. Available criteria include relationship type, gender, age, distance and additional options. Their presence does not mean they are all free: the country-wide and worldwide search scopes require Premium on the website, as do some advanced options. A lock or Premium label indicates a restriction. App screens and available conditions may differ: specify whether you use the website or the app if you cannot find a setting. Your criteria are saved for 30 days and results are paginated. The affinities page is https://www.atypikoo.com/affinity/.
Affinity is an internal score out of 100 used to order profiles on the Affinities page. It is based only on the personality traits provided by both members: their relative overlap measures similarity, while the number of traits actually shared strengthens the reliability of the result. Age, orientation, relationship goals, distance, languages and lifestyle do not change this score; they remain contextual information and can be used as search criteria. We do not display the raw percentage on profiles: the interface uses simple levels because a meeting cannot be reduced to a number.
No. The age gap does not change the affinity score, which is based only on shared personality traits. Age remains visible on profiles and available as a search criterion, so everyone can decide whether it is relevant to the kind of connection they are looking for.
Your feed gathers activity relevant to you: posts from forums you follow, events near you (based on your location, within a radius of about 50 km, or those you are participating in or have participated in), activity from your favorites, as well as public articles and news. The feed does not go back beyond 90 days and is sorted from newest to oldest. Content from members you have blocked (or who have blocked you) is excluded. For premium members, some additional activity around events (new participants, expressions of interest) is also visible. The feed loads by pages and refreshes dynamically when new activities arrive.
The professional directory lists practitioners (psychologists, therapists, etc.) referenced in the atypical universe. You can search for them by country, city, profession, areas of expertise, keywords, certification, online consultation, and distance. Each professional profile presents the practitioner, their profession, location, areas of expertise, and contact information, and only appears publicly once verified. Members can recommend a professional and leave a star-rated review; the average rating and number of reviews are displayed on the profile. The number of views for each profile is counted.
You can submit your application via the professional directory registration form (waiting list): the profile is then created awaiting verification and is not yet publicly visible. Direct creation and editing of profiles are reserved for the Atypikoo team, who validate and publish the profile. If you wish to have your profile removed, the pro statistics emails contain a secure link "Delete my pro profile" which notifies the team. For any request, contact support via notre système de support (ouverture d'un ticket depuis le site ou l'application, ou e-mail à help02@atypikoo.com).
The Atypiker score reflects your recent engagement in the community, over a rolling window of the last few weeks: your influence (Atypicoeurs received from distinct members), the events you organize or join, your forum posts, your active reciprocal conversations, and the regularity of your connections. As the window rolls, the status reflects your current activity, not your cumulative history. It's a recognition of those who keep the community alive here and now. The most engaged members may appear in the "Super Atypikers of the moment" showcases. The status is recalculated every night.
The "Super Atypikers of the Moment" page showcases particularly active members, organized by area of engagement (community, events, forum, messaging). The display order is slightly shuffled with each visit to vary the spotlight, and blocked accounts are excluded. It is no longer a fixed numbered ranking: it's a selection based on Super Atypiker status, which covers a recent activity time window.
“My Atypical Profile” is a free test that maps how you function using 16 atypical personality types. Its result can be shared: a dedicated page generates an image optimized for social media, with its own title and description. This test helps explain how you function, but it is not used to calculate affinities between members. The affinity ranking is based only on declared personality traits.
Yes, each member has an activity feed viewable from their profile, which lists their visible activities, from most recent to oldest. The initial load is accessible to all members; to scroll beyond the first page (pagination), a premium subscription is required. If you have blocked the member (or they have blocked you), their feed is not accessible.
From the forums section, you can create a topic by entering a title and a description. Upon creation, you automatically join the topic and follow it in your feed. Each new topic is subject to human validation by the team before publication on the forums: this validation may be assisted by an AI tool that only produces a compliance opinion and a sensitivity index, but the final decision (publication, pending, refusal) is always made by a person (GDPR art. 22).
Replies to a topic are reserved for logged-in members. To post, your profile must be validated; an empty message is refused, and a message detected as spam by the anti-spam filter is blocked. When you post in a topic, you automatically start following it in your feed. Messages are displayed in chronological order.
You can comment on a post in a forum, an event, a professional review, or a publication. The comment will be rejected if it's empty or caught by the anti-spam filter. In a closed forum, only administrators can comment. When you comment in a forum, you automatically start following that forum. You can then edit or delete your own comments.
Yes. You can edit the content of your own comments (an administrator can also do so). Deletion is possible by the comment's author or by an administrator. The owner of the parent topic/event cannot delete another member's comment: if they find it bothersome, they can report it and moderation will handle the request. A non-administrator member cannot delete an administrator's comment. When a comment is deleted, any reports associated with that comment are also deleted.
The ♡ button allows you to highlight a particularly useful or constructive message. This is distinct from reporting (the “…” button). Content appreciated by the community gains visibility and recognition, a simple way to value exchanges that feel good.
Atypikoo publishes articles (news) categorized by category and language. Only published articles are visible; some may be scheduled for later publication. Logged-in members can comment on a published article. Like all community content, an article comment can be reported and may display "Content hidden by moderation" if it exceeds the reporting threshold.
Moderation
Use the “…” button on the content: it opens the reporting form where you choose a reason (corresponding to the charter categories) and specify the context. You can attach up to 5 files (images or PDFs, max 5 MB each). Reporting is reserved for behaviors prohibited by the charter: it is not for expressing a simple disagreement of opinion. You cannot report the same content twice, nor report an administrator.
The reasons offered for content/members are: inappropriate or offensive behavior; hate speech or discrimination; toxic or manipulative person; harassment or intimidation; fraudulent profile or identity theft; spread of false information; suspicion of illegal activity; cultic or ideological drift; suicidal intentions or severe psychological distress; advertising or commercial solicitations; and "Other issue." Specific reasons exist for events (no-show, disruptive behavior, inappropriate content, misleading event).
The reporting form allows you to target a member (the "user" entity) and offers to block them in the same action. If you check the block option, the member is added to your block list and removed from your common events. Profile reports never trigger an automatic ban: they alert the team, who examines and decides humanly (GDPR art. 22). In case of persistent tension, the charter recommends using "Block" or writing to support: notre système de support (ouverture d'un ticket depuis le site ou l'application, ou e-mail à help02@atypikoo.com).
Your report is recorded and passed to the moderation team. How it is handled depends on the reported content, the context and the seriousness of the issue. Automated tools can help sort or analyze reports. Once reports have been validated, the service’s rules may trigger a warning or a restriction on forum participation. Account bans are decided by the team.
Measures are graduated and proportionate. For forum content, escalation follows steps based on an alert counter: first a simple alert (warning email, no restrictions), then, in case of recurrence, temporary restrictions on the ability to publish, of increasing duration, up to a permanent publishing restriction (equivalent to a forum ban). Each step triggers a reasoned notification, and the measure can be contested with support.
The number of reports alone does not determine whether action is taken. One report may reveal a serious violation; several may concern the same incident. The decision depends on the facts, context and seriousness. Positive reactions do not protect content that breaks the rules. A report about psychological distress is not, by itself, grounds for a sanction.
Content (message, comment, article comment) that receives a significant number of validated reports may be automatically hidden pending human review: when the same content is heavily reported, it is replaced by "Content hidden by moderation" for members. The hiding is visible on the feed; the content is not deleted. Administrators continue to see the original content. The author can dispute the measure at any time with support.
There are two distinct displays. "Content hidden by moderation" appears automatically when content receives a significant number of reports, awaiting human review. "This message has been moderated in accordance with the charter (see charter)" corresponds to a decision made by an administrator: the content is then replaced by this placeholder which links to the Forum Charter. In both cases, the original content is preserved (for audit, reversibility) and the measure can be reversed.
AI tools can help detect problematic content, sort reports or assess a new discussion topic. Their assessment is not a moderation decision. Once reports have been validated, warnings or restrictions on forum participation may be applied automatically under the service’s rules. Banning an account remains a decision made by the team.
When access to content or an account is restricted because content is illegal or breaks the rules, the affected member receives an explanation in accordance with the applicable requirements. It sets out the action taken, the reasons and the options for challenging it. The duration, scope and any use of automated tools are included where relevant. Some restrictions on forum participation may be applied automatically after reports have been validated. Account bans remain a decision made by the team.
Contact support at https://www.atypikoo.com/ticket/create/ and identify the decision you want reviewed. Include useful information, such as the context, an error you noticed or a revised version of the content. The team may uphold, change or lift the action. Lifting a sanction does not recover data that has already been deleted.
The available options depend on the type of dispute. For a dispute about a paid Atypikoo service, you can contact CM2C, the consumer mediator named in the Terms of Sale, after first making a complaint to Atypikoo and subject to the stated conditions: https://www.atypikoo.com/page/cgv/. You can also bring the matter before the competent courts. A moderation notice identifies the options for challenging the action concerned.
Specifically targeted are: harm to individuals (insults, personal attacks, harassment, hateful or discriminatory remarks, threats); harm to community safety (fake profiles, impersonation, undue influence/recruitment, circumventing sanctions); advertising, solicitations, and proselytism; disinformation clearly dangerous to health or safety; privacy violations (doxxing); illegal content; and harm to the service's operation (bots, flooding, multiple accounts). However, frankness, a minority opinion, or a strong disagreement are not, in themselves, grounds for sanction.
Moderation measures depend on the facts, their seriousness and the context. Some serious cases justify an immediate ban without prior warning: child pornography or glorification of terrorism, explicit death threats or threats of violence, proven identity theft, payment fraud, clear circumvention of a previous ban, proven doxxing, dissemination of intimate images without consent (including deepfakes), incitement to suicide targeting a member, or coordinated mob harassment. A single report may bring a serious violation to light and justify action once the facts are established; the number of reports alone does not determine the decision.
The reason "suicidal intentions or severe psychological distress" does not trigger any sanctions against the person concerned. Atypikoo may, as a courtesy and without obligation, send the person a help message inviting them to contact specialized resources (notably 3114 in France). This system is experimental, confidential, and may be interrupted without notice. In case of emergency, immediately contact emergency services (15, 18, 112) or 3114. For a clear danger, send the link/screenshot via notre système de support (ouverture d'un ticket depuis le site ou l'application, ou e-mail à help02@atypikoo.com) mentioning "urgent".
If the rules are breached, the team may close or remove a topic, or remove a post. These measures follow the principle of proportionality and are subject to a reasoned notification when they are unfavorable.
In the event of a ban, the member's public posts on the forums are automatically hidden from other members as soon as the decision is made. This measure protects the community against the post-ban exploitation of information that may have been included (contact details, external references). Detailed terms (database retention, durations, restoration in case of decision reversal) are set out in the GTC (art. 12.3.3) and the Privacy Policy (section 12.6).
Reporting must remain proportionate: it is reserved for behaviors prohibited by the charter, not for expressing a disagreement. In case of repeated or clearly misused abuse, and after written and reasoned notification to the member concerned, their future reports may no longer be taken into account. This decision can itself be appealed. Furthermore, the same content can only be reported once per member.
Events
No. Any registered member can create an event, whether on a free or premium plan; no subscription is required. Organizing real-life meetups near you is at the heart of Atypikoo, not a paid option: you can create as many as you wish.
There is no limit to the number of events you can create, whether you have a free or premium plan. Create as many as you want to keep the community around you vibrant.
You do not need Premium to join an event organized by a member or express interest, provided you have access to it. The activity itself may still have a cost, so check the event page before registering. If the event is full, Premium members can join the waiting list and be registered automatically when a place becomes available. Members without Premium see the message “Event full”. If the activity has a cost, you pay the organizer directly.
An event can be online or in-person. If it's online, no address is required. If it's in-person, a location is mandatory: without a location, creation is refused. The address is verified and localized before saving, to prevent an event without a valid location.
Yes. For an in-person event, you must indicate a precise location (bar, restaurant, park, museum, etc.) with the necessary information to get there. The address is automatically verified and localized. However, avoid publishing personal contact details (phone, home address, private email) on the event page.
The start date and time are mandatory. The end date is optional; if you enter it (end date or time), it must be after the start. If an end time is specified, it must be strictly after the start time; without an end time, an end on the same day is accepted. An end before or equal to the start is refused.
You can search for events using filters: event type, free text, country, city, as well as pro and ambassador filters. The search is paginated. Private events do not appear in public searches: only visible events are listed there.
Yes, and that's kind of the heart of Atypikoo: meeting up in real life, close to home. The list of nearby events shows you in-person gatherings around you, from the closest to the furthest, sorted by date (past, canceled, or events from members you've blocked are not included). You can find it in the Events section, which is based on your location.
Only the event creator (or an administrator) can cancel it. Canceling does not delete the event: it marks it as canceled and automatically notifies participants. An event that has already been canceled cannot be canceled again. Please remember to notify participants sufficiently in advance if you cancel.
Permanent deletion is only possible by the creator (when the event has no other members than them) or by an administrator. It also deletes related participations, posts, comments, activities, and notifications. If members have joined the event, you cannot delete it: instead, use cancellation, which keeps the event and notifies participants.
Yes. An event is considered archived once its date has passed (beyond the day after the end date, or failing that, the day after the start date). For an archived event, you can no longer join, declare yourself interested, or publish a post (response 403 "This event is archived"). Archived events are also excluded from nearby event lists.
To post in an event's feed, you must be a member (have joined the event); a pending status is not enough. Other members are notified of new posts. No posts can be made on an archived event.
Yes, inviting your favorites to an event is a feature reserved for premium members. You can select the favorites to invite; those already members or already invited are ignored, and each invitee receives a notification. Duplicate filtering is still handled server-side.
Our events are first and foremost welcoming spaces where you don't have to over-adapt or play a role, and that's the whole point of getting together with other atypical individuals. Specifically, the Event Charter asks participants to be courteous to others and to the organizer, to respect reasonable instructions (venue, times, practical rules), and to unregister without justification if they cannot attend. Capturing or sharing images of other participants without their consent is prohibited, and any therapeutic service provided by a non-professional member is strictly prohibited. Everyone participates at their own risk and must be covered by their civil liability insurance.
In case of inappropriate behavior, discomfort, discriminatory remarks, or an attempt to exert control during an event, report the incident without delay. You can report an event directly from the application (the report then targets the event organizer; you cannot report your own event and your profile must be validated). For any other difficulties, contact notre système de support (ouverture d'un ticket depuis le site ou l'application, ou e-mail à help02@atypikoo.com).
In case of a medical incident, the immediate response is to alert emergency services (911 in the US) without delay and stay with the person. Atypikoo does not coordinate on-site emergency response, but we are here for what follows: to report an issue related to the event or its organizer, write to us at notre système de support (ouverture d'un ticket depuis le site ou l'application, ou e-mail à help02@atypikoo.com) and we will take over.
When an event has reached its maximum capacity, premium members are placed on a waiting list: they are automatically registered as soon as a spot becomes available, with the longest-waiting member being promoted first and notified. Non-premium members see the message "Event full". Interested premium members can also be notified by email when a spot becomes available.
Messaging
A single reminder is sent to you approximately 24 hours before the free window of a Matchikoo you haven't yet contacted expires, so you don't miss it. No reminder is sent if a conversation has already begun.
The old monthly Matchikoo quota has been removed, so there are no unused contacts to carry over to the next month. Each match gives you 7 days to start a conversation for free. This period starts when the match forms; another Matchikoo match does not extend it.
If neither of you has Premium, add the person to your favorites. If they add you too, you become a Matchikoo match and have 7 days to start a conversation for free. There is no longer a monthly quota specific to Matchikoo. Once you’ve started chatting, you can continue for free. Blocking, an unavailable account or anti-abuse measures may prevent you from sending messages.
You can reply in an existing conversation for free, without Premium. These replies do not count toward your limit on new conversations. You can keep chatting after the Matchikoo free messaging period ends. Blocking, an unavailable account or anti-abuse measures may still prevent you from sending messages.
Liking a profile means adding it to your favorites: a one-way signal of interest. As long as the person hasn't liked you back, it is NOT a match and does not open any particular messaging. The number of likes is limited: up to 10 per day and 60 per month.
A Matchikoo is a match: it happens when two members have mutually added each other to their favorites (two reciprocal likes). A one-way like is never enough. Technically, as soon as at least two likes exist between the two of you (one in each direction), the Matchikoo is formed and you both receive a notification.
Each Matchikoo can be contacted for free for 7 days after the match is created. This window starts the moment the second like creates reciprocity. After this period, writing to this match requires upgrading to Premium. The goal is to seize the momentum of the connection while it's fresh.
After a Matchikoo match forms, you have 7 days to start a conversation for free. There is no longer a monthly limit specific to Matchikoo conversations. Once you’ve started chatting, you can continue for free. Blocking, an unavailable account or anti-abuse measures may still prevent you from sending messages.
You can reply in an existing conversation for free, without Premium. These replies do not count toward your limit on new conversations. You can keep chatting after the Matchikoo free messaging period ends. Blocking, an unavailable account or anti-abuse measures may still prevent you from sending messages.
This is an anti-spam protection. As long as the other person hasn't replied to you at least once, you cannot send an indefinite number of messages: beyond 3 consecutive messages without a reply, sending is blocked with the message "You can write again after this member replies". As soon as the person replies, you can write freely again.
This message (reason no_match) appears when you try to write to a free member with whom you don't have a match (no reciprocal likes), and neither of you is Premium. To unblock: add the person to your favorites so that a Matchikoo can form if they like you back, or go Premium to write to them directly.
This message means that the Matchikoo still exists, but it is more than 7 days old, outside the free window. Liking the same person again does not open a new window: the match date is set when it is formed. However, all is not lost: writing to a Premium member is always free, and each match with a new person opens a new free window for you. Finally, if you want to reconnect with old Matchikoo beyond 7 days, that is one of the comforts that Premium offers.
This message refers to the old monthly Matchikoo quota, which has been removed. After each match, you have 7 days to start a conversation for free. Other limits on new conversations are separate from that old quota. If this message still appears, send its exact wording to support and say whether you are using the website or the app: https://www.atypikoo.com/ticket/create/.
Sending photos in messages is reserved for Premium members (sending to an admin/support account remains possible). For free accounts, the attempt is refused. Images are automatically optimized and securely stored before being delivered in the conversation.
Sending voice (audio) messages is reserved for Premium members: a free member cannot send them, but they can absolutely receive and listen to those sent to them. The only exception: any member, even a free one, can send a voice message to an admin/support account. A voice message is a short message, securely stored and delivered in the conversation in real time. Voice often makes an exchange feel more real, a natural extension of the authenticity we seek here.
Some profiles are AI conversational assistants (bots). They are clearly identified as AI assistants. When you write to them, they reply automatically, and these exchanges do not consume your match conversation quota.
Yes. A discreet reminder is sent 24 hours before the free window of an uncontacted Matchikoo expires. This reminder is only sent if both likes still exist and no message has yet been exchanged between the two of you. Only one reminder, no spam.
Before sending, the system checks a few basic conditions: the message must not be empty, the recipient must still exist, and it must not be an account with which exchange is impossible. If any of these conditions fail, the message is rejected with an explicit error. Please check the content of your message and ensure the profile is still active.
Deleting a conversation removes it from your inbox, but not the other person’s history. Deleting a message you received hides it only for you. If you delete a message you sent, its text is removed from the conversation. This cannot undo a message that has already been read, a screenshot or a notification preview already received, and does not guarantee that all copies of photos or audio files are erased.
In certain developing geographical areas, a temporary local opening may allow two free members from the same area to initiate a few conversations per month without a match, under certain conditions (validated profile, main photo, recipient available). This feature is temporary, governed by a monthly and daily quota, and can be deactivated at any time: do not count on it as a permanent right.
This message only concerns areas where one-time local opening is active. It means that you were eligible to write to a free member in your area without a match, but you have exhausted your monthly local quota. The counter resets on the 1st of the month, or go Premium to write without limits. This option remains temporary and may be deactivated.
If your last initiated conversations have not received any response, a kind reminder email may be sent to you (approximately 24 hours later) to suggest adjusting your approach. This is a helping hand, not a penalty. If you need support, contact us via notre système de support (ouverture d'un ticket depuis le site ou l'application, ou e-mail à help02@atypikoo.com).
This message appears when the recipient's account is no longer able to receive messages (e.g., account blocked/unavailable). This is not a quota limit: the conversation is simply not possible with this account. If you think this is an error, contact support via notre système de support (ouverture d'un ticket depuis le site ou l'application, ou e-mail à help02@atypikoo.com).
Without a subscription, you can create a profile, browse profiles and use favorites within the free plan’s limits. You can also message a Premium member without a prior match, or contact your Matchikoo matches within 7 days of each match forming. Once a conversation has started, you can continue it for free. Forums and events are also included in the free plan, although some activities have a cost. Premium adds features such as advanced filters, privacy options and media messaging. Your plan may limit how many new conversations you can start; that limit does not apply to Matchikoo matches still within their free period. Blocking and anti-abuse measures still apply.
Account
Yes. The free plan lets you get Matchikoo matches, contact a Premium member, continue an existing conversation and take part in the community, subject to each feature’s conditions. Premium gives you more contact options and extra features, but does not guarantee replies, meetings or faster results.
You must be at least 18 years old to register on Atypikoo. Upon registration, your date of birth is checked: if it indicates an age below the minimum required, the account cannot be created. This limit applies to everyone, without exception.
Registration is done by providing a username, a valid email address, a password, your first name, your gender, your date of birth, and your city. Your email and username must be unique (they must not already be in use). Once registered, you will be guided through an onboarding step to complete your profile before you can fully access the community.
Yes. You can sign in with a service such as Google or request a login link by email. With that link, you do not need to enter a password: open it, then confirm sign-in on the page shown. The link signs you in but does not change your password. To recover an old account, first use the same email address and sign-in method as before. Avoid creating another profile if a purchase is linked to the old one. If you have forgotten the address or created a duplicate, contact https://www.atypikoo.com/ticket/create/; account ownership needs to be checked before any action is taken.
Your password must contain at least 8 characters, with at least one lowercase letter, one uppercase letter, one number, and one special character. Preferably choose a long, unique, and hard-to-guess password, and do not reuse it from another site.
A confirmation link is sent to you by email after registration. If you haven't received it, you can request a new one via the resend confirmation link feature (enter your email address). Remember to check your spam folder.
Choose a clear, well-lit, and recent photo that truly represents you, where your face is visible. Opt for a positive expression and stay natural, without filters. Avoid: group photos, DIY montages, photos of your children, sunglasses and hats, excessive selfies, and any suggestive or inappropriate photos. Ideally, publish at least three photos (portrait, full-body, in motion).
Yes, in your photo settings. A private photo is still visible to you and to members you have added to your favorites, even if they have not added you to theirs. Your main photo is always public: setting a photo as your main photo makes it public. If moderation has locked a photo’s visibility, you cannot change it yourself.
The profile completion score indicates which information you have filled in, such as your photo, description, location and other sections. Completing this information helps other members discover your profile and what you are looking for. This score measures neither your personal worth nor your compatibility with someone, and does not guarantee visits, messages or meetings.
In addition to your first name, username, gender, date of birth, country, city, and languages, you can fill in many fields: the text "How are you atypical?" (at least 65 characters), what you are looking for, your interests, your relationship status, your profession, your education, your skills and training, your website, your height and body type, smoking habits, your relationship with children, the type of encounter you seek, your sexuality, your MBTI, as well as personality traits (tags).
You can select up to 30 personality traits ("aspects") to refine what makes you atypical. Beyond 30, a message will inform you and the selection will not be saved. Choose those that truly represent you: they help other members recognize you.
You can edit your information from your profile settings. Some fields have rules: the first name and username must follow a specific format (at least 3 characters, no emojis, and certain words are not allowed), the username must remain unique, and the text "How are you atypical?" must be at least 65 characters long. Changing your city automatically recalculates your location.
You can change your email address and password in your account settings. An email address change needs to be confirmed. If you have forgotten your password, use “Forgot password” to receive a reset link, which is valid for a limited time. A login link only signs you in; it does not reset your password. If you cannot sign in, use your usual sign-in method and the most recent link. Do not create a new account to recover an old purchase. If you cannot find the account or have created a duplicate, contact https://www.atypikoo.com/ticket/create/ without sending your password or a login code.
On the website, request deletion at https://www.atypikoo.com/settings/accountp/. You have 24 hours to cancel the request by logging back in, so avoid signing in during that time just to check its progress. Deletion is not guaranteed at an exact time. In the app, access to the account is disabled as soon as deletion is requested; the data is processed afterward. For a temporary break, use standby mode: it does not delete the account or stop subscription charges on its own. If your account is on standby, inaccessible or deletion fails, contact https://www.atypikoo.com/ticket/create/. Check renewal cancellation separately with the service you bought the subscription from, particularly Apple or Google. The privacy policy explains how data is handled and which contributions may be retained.
Yes. From the dedicated data section in your settings, you can request an archive of your personal data. The archive is generated, and then a download link is sent to you by email. The download is done via a secure link specific to your account.
Atypikoo will never ask for your password or banking information via email. Never share your password, even with someone claiming to be from support. If you receive a suspicious email asking for your Atypikoo or banking credentials, do not reply and report it to the support address indicated in our security tips. Also, beware of money requests and unexpected links.
You can adjust your email notification preferences from your account settings. Emails also include a one-click unsubscribe link in their footer, which allows you to stop a category of emails without even logging in.
Every email sent contains a link to your email preferences in the footer. This page is accessible even without logging in, thanks to a secure link (signed token) specific to your account: you choose the categories of emails you wish to receive or not, and your choices are saved to your account. Emails also offer the one-click unsubscribe button integrated by Gmail and Yahoo, which immediately removes you from the relevant category. You can also modify these preferences from your account settings.
From your own profile, the “Analyze my profile” button launches an AI-assisted analysis: it examines your photos, your self-description, and the overall consistency of your profile, then sends you an email with a score and concrete suggestions for improvement. Each account is entitled to a maximum of 3 analyses in total: this is a lifetime cap for the account, not a monthly quota, and there is no reset. Non-premium members are entitled to only one analysis; to launch others (up to 3 in total), a premium subscription is required. The analysis is free (no credits are consumed) and there is no waiting period between two analyses as long as the cap is not reached. By launching the analysis, you agree that your profile information and photos will be processed by our AI provider, in compliance with our privacy policy (which specifies the retention periods for analysis results).
The site is available in French, English, and Spanish. You can change the language using the language selector; your choice is stored in a cookie valid for one year, and if you are logged in, it is also saved to your profile. After changing, you will remain on the current page (with the URL adapted to the language). Only active or beta languages are selectable. French is the default language.

The bell displays a badge as long as you have unseen notifications. As soon as you open the notifications page, all your notifications are marked as seen (the badge disappears), but those that were unread when you arrived remain highlighted during your visit so you can spot them. Notifications are paginated (20 per page) and filterable by category. For example, you receive a notification when a member writes you a message; if several unread messages accumulate from the same sender, they are grouped into a single notification "so-and-so wrote you N messages". Notifications older than 6 months are automatically purged.
In addition to the bell icon, the site regularly queries the server to detect new notifications and display a preview (toast) of the most recent one, as well as a counter of unread notifications. The bell also allows you to preview your latest notifications (up to 5) without leaving the current page. You can mark an individual notification as read.
You can contact the Atypikoo team via the internal ticketing system: from your space, open a ticket describing your request and follow the responses directly in the ticket thread (you can reply to it and attach files). If you are not logged in, guest access via a secure link also allows you to view and reply to a ticket. For any help request, use notre système de support (ouverture d'un ticket depuis le site ou l'application, ou e-mail à help02@atypikoo.com).
