A Tinder ban,
lifted in 31 days.
The founder’s own account. No reason given, and no way to appeal: Tinder’s appeal needs the banned login. A data access request and its one-month legal deadline got it lifted.
It costs nothing, and it tells you plainly when paying anyone is the wrong move.
31 days, step by step
A data access request goes to Tinder: everything it holds, the ban record, and a human review.
Match Group’s legal desk points to a tool that needs the banned login. Tinder passes the ticket to “a specialist”.
A formal notice to Tinder’s data protection officer, naming the legal deadline.
One short chase. Two holding replies.
Tinder’s Data Protection Office lifts the ban. A new account opens the same afternoon.
“…your credentials have been unbanned. If you would like to create a new account, please do so…”

The email, and the app the same afternoon
What it proves, and what it does not
It proves the route. A data access request carries a legal deadline. Tinder answered on its last day, and lifted the ban.
It is not a success rate. One case is one case, and Tinder never said why. Other documented cases: do dating app ban appeals work.
It is not a workaround. Nothing was reset or evaded. Tinder lifted the block and invited the new account in writing.
Check your case first. It is free, and it says plainly when paying anyone is the wrong move.
