The Tea app is now available in Canada, and Canadian men are already being posted on it. MGMT Reputation can find a Tea post about you for $199.99 (searched by your name and phone number) and remove it for $999.99. Most removals are done within 14 days, and if it isn’t removed within 30 days, you get a full refund.

If you live in Canada and you’ve just heard that Tea has arrived here, you probably have two questions: could I be on it, and what can I do if I am? This guide answers both in plain language, including what a privacy complaint under Canadian law can and can’t do for you.
What changed: Tea is now in Canada
Tea (full name: Tea Dating Advice) is a women-only app where users can anonymously post about men they’ve dated or matched with, add a “red flag” or “green flag”, and share photos and comments. Until recently it was a U.S. app. It is now open to women in Canada, and posts about men in Canadian cities are appearing on it.
For Canadian men, that’s a new exposure overnight. If you’ve been on dating apps in the last few years, a match you never heard from again can now post your name, photo and city on Tea, and you won’t be told. If you want the background on how the app works, our straight-talk guide to the Tea app covers it in full.
How Canadian men end up on Tea
You don’t sign up for Tea and you don’t get a notification. A user can create a post with your first name, your dating-profile photos, your city and her account of what happened. Men can’t join the app, so you have no account, no alert and no way to reply.
Posts are searchable inside the app by other women in your area. Screenshots also travel: a post on Tea can end up in a private group chat, on Reddit, or in an Are We Dating the Same Guy group in Canada. Most men only find out when a friend, a date or a colleague mentions it.
What Canadian privacy law says, and what a complaint can actually do
Since Tea arrived in Canada, a lot of men have been sharing step-by-step guides to filing a privacy complaint. It’s worth knowing exactly what that route offers before you spend time on it.
Canada’s federal private-sector privacy law is PIPEDA (the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act). Complaints about how a business handles personal information go to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada (OPC). Alberta, British Columbia and Quebec also have their own private-sector privacy laws, so where you live can change which office handles it.
Here’s how the OPC route works, from the OPC’s own guidance:
- You’re expected to raise your concern with the business first. If you skip that step, the OPC may not accept your complaint.
- The OPC can make recommendations, such as a change in process or help correcting your information.
- The OPC cannot force a business to take a specific action, issue fines, or make a business compensate you.
- The OPC reports processing delays of several months because of complaint volumes.
- If you’re not satisfied, you may be able to take the matter to Federal Court.
So a complaint can be a reasonable thing to do on principle, and it may help push the platform to change how it handles Canadians’ information. But it is slow, and it does not take the post about you down. If your goal is to get your name and photo off the app, a complaint and a removal are two different jobs. This isn’t legal advice, and we’re not a law firm.
“Is what’s posted about me even legal?”
Some of what appears on Tea is opinion (“I wouldn’t date him again”), which is generally protected. Not everything is. A specific false accusation presented as fact can be defamatory, and posting your photos, phone number or other personal information without your consent can break the platform’s own rules and, in some cases, privacy law.
Whether a particular post crosses the line depends on what it says and how it’s framed. For most men, the practical question isn’t “can I win a case?” but “how fast can I get this off the app?”
What you can actually do
1. Find out what’s there first. You can’t act on a post you haven’t seen. Our Tea app search checks by your name and your phone number, confidentially, for $199.99, and you get a private report of what we find.
2. Keep a record. If a post exists, the date, the wording and the photos used all matter for removal. We capture all of it as part of the search.
3. Don’t contact the poster. It almost always makes things worse, and it can turn one post into several. We never contact the poster either.
4. Get it removed. Tea App Post Removal is $999.99. Most removals are done within 14 days. Not removed within 30 days? Full refund.
5. Watch for reposts. Posts can come back or be copied into other groups. Monthly AWDTSG and Tea monitoring ($499.99 a month) scans every week for new mentions of your name, photo or phone number.
How we handle Tea posts for Canadian men
Every Tea case is handled in-house by our own team, confidentially, from start to finish. We work through the platform’s official reporting channels and the rules a post breaks, such as unauthorised photos or personal information, and we never contact the poster. When it’s done, you get proof: screenshots and a short confirmation video showing the post is gone.
We serve clients across Canada from our St. Catharines, Ontario office, so you’re dealing with a team that knows the Canadian side of this.
Quick answers for Canadian men
Can I check Tea myself?
No. Tea is women-only, so men can’t open an account to look. A confidential search is the only way to know for sure what’s been posted about you.
Will the person who posted find out?
We never contact the poster. Removal goes through the platform’s own channels, not through her.
Do you help outside Ontario?
Yes. We work with men across Canada, from British Columbia and Alberta to Quebec and the Maritimes.
What currency are your prices in?
Our prices are in U.S. dollars, and payment is taken in full when you book.
What if I’m also in an Are We Dating the Same Guy group?
It’s common for the same post to appear in both. We can search and remove across Tea and the Canadian AWDTSG groups together.
The bottom line
Tea’s arrival in Canada means Canadian men can now be named and photographed on an app they can’t see or reply to. A privacy complaint is your right, but it’s slow and it won’t take the post down. The fastest way to deal with it is to find out what’s there and have it removed properly.
Not sure where to start? Book a consultation ($99.99, credited in full on any job of $1,000 or more) and we’ll tell you exactly what we can do. Or go straight to our Tea app search and removal.
We remove it for you.
