Treat every match as a stranger

Legitimate users will not demand gift cards, crypto, or emergency wire transfers on camera. End the call and report if someone pressures you off-platform.

Never show government IDs, mail with your address, or workplace badges during early sessions.

Consent and recording

Assume others may attempt to capture the stream outside the app. Do not perform content you would not want saved — and never record partners without explicit consent.

Use skip the moment someone crosses a boundary. You do not owe a lengthy explanation in anonymous video chat.

Use in-app safety tools

Report minors, harassment, or illegal material through the product’s report flow. See our Safety Center for what we can investigate and what we cannot promise in real time.

Read the Privacy Policy to understand what technical data may be logged to operate the service.
