A married police officer is suing a dating site over its use of a Facebook photo after his wife demanded to know why his image was being used in its adverts boasting of ‘uniformed singles’. 

David Guzman, from Golden Beach, Florida is said to have launched legal action against NSI Holdings Limited who he claims used his picture to promote their page UniformDating.com without him signing up. 

Guzman, who is married with children, says his image was wrongly used in an Instagram post which identified him as ‘Jason, 33’ and ‘Single.’ The comment continues, ‘Bulletproof vest? Nah, it’s all muscle.’ 

But in a lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in Miami the site argues Guzman, or someone with his personal information, did create a profile, The Sun Sentinel reports.

An image online shows a caption reads: ‘Like. Chat. Flirt. See uniformed singles near you who want to date right now!’

The suit states Guzman was forced to tell his wife ‘that he had no idea’ why he was being featured in the advert after friends alerted him to the picture in April 2018. 

He says when he contacted the site they were ‘resistant, astonishingly demanding that [Guzman] provide proof of his identity before removing the advertisements’. 

The lawsuits says the officer ‘has never used, nor does he have any interest in [NSI Holdings’] dating services’. 

In response NSI Holdings Limited, who claimed to have removed the images within days of his request, says Gusman’s position is ‘not enviable’, adding: ‘He is a married man and respected member of his community who has been caught with a profile on an online dating website. 

‘While sympathies may flow in [Guzman’s] direction, there is no liability.’

They add: ‘The information available to NSI Holdings indicates that [Guzman] himself ― or someone well acquainted with [him] ― created this user profile.’ 

Registered users allow NSI Holdings 'to reproduce and broadcast the information contained in your profile including your name, photograph for marketing and other purposes,' they say

They have asked the court to dismiss the suit after finding a user profile that included Guzman’s date of birth and email address. 

The company’s filing adds: ‘Rather, the information available to NSI Holdings indicates that [Guzman] himself ― or someone well acquainted with [him] ― created this user profile.’

They argue whoever uploaded the profile visited it once, adding ‘that creation of the profile was a momentary dalliance’. 

Registered users are said to allow NSI Holdings ‘to reproduce and broadcast the information contained in your profile including your name, photograph for marketing and other purposes’.
