Relates to online dating services

This bill (A 428) protects New York users of paid online dating services by setting clear consumer safeguards. It limits subscription contracts to $1,000 total (with exceptions for short-term plans), bans requiring forced add-on services (like grooming), and guarantees a minimum number of matches per month for paid plans over $25. Users gain the right to cancel without penalty if matches aren't delivered for two months, receive a refund (minus a small fee), and get their personal data deleted or returned upon cancellation. The law directly affects all paid online dating platforms operating in New York, ensuring transparency and reducing deceptive practices.
