Your Safety Comes First
Chat and Video is designed to be a safe space for genuine connections, but online safety is a shared responsibility. Follow these guidelines to protect yourself while enjoying our platform.
Protect Your Personal Information
Never share sensitive personal details with strangers online. This includes:
- Your full name
- Home address or workplace
- Phone number
- Email address
- Social media profiles
- Financial information
- Daily routines or locations
Video Chat Safety
- Be mindful of your surroundings: Ensure you're in a private space where you won't be interrupted or overheard.
- Use good lighting: It helps both parties see clearly and creates a more natural conversation.
- Dress appropriately: Treat video chats like any other public interaction.
- Never record conversations: Recording someone without consent is illegal in many jurisdictions and violates our terms.
- Trust your instincts: If something feels off, end the chat immediately using the 'Next' button.
Recognizing Red Flags
Be cautious if someone:
- Asks for money or financial assistance
- Pressures you to share personal information
- Shares inappropriate content
- Makes you feel uncomfortable with their questions or behavior
- Claims to be someone they're clearly not
- Rushes the relationship or conversation

- Tell a friend or family member where you're going
- Arrange your own transportation to and from the meeting
- Stay sober and maintain clear judgment
- Trust your instincts—leave if you feel unsafe
Account Security
