Safety

You stay anonymous until you decide otherwise. Here are the tools that keep it that way.

Built-in protections

  • Aliases by default. Your name and photo open only after you and the other person both choose to reveal.
  • Approximate distance only. Exact location is never shared or stored.
  • Choose who can find you: everyone nearby, only people you've chatted with, or nobody.
  • Hide your profile again from anyone you revealed to, at any time.
  • Block and report from any chat. Reports are reviewed by our safety team.
  • Optional ID verification through Stripe Identity.

Meeting up

Meet in public places the first time, tell a friend where you're going, and arrange your own way home. Never send money to someone you've met here.

If you're in danger

Contact your local emergency services immediately. For LGBTQ+ support in the US, The Trevor Project (1-866-488-7386) and the LGBT National Hotline (1-888-843-4564) are available.
