Safety & community guidelines

Every member accepts these rules before their first conversation. They apply to users and to model profiles equally.

Every chat self-destructs. Two days after a conversation starts it is permanently deleted — messages, photos, videos and locations. There is no archive and no way to restore it.

Moderators review reports. Both sides of a chat can report the other. Reports are read by our team, together with the reason and any detail you add.

What gets an account permanently blocked

  • Harassment, threats or hate speech

    Insults, intimidation, stalking, or attacks based on race, gender, religion, disability or sexual orientation.

  • Scams, fraud and payment requests

    Asking for money, gift cards, crypto or bank details. Never send money to anyone you meet here.

  • Spam and unsolicited advertising

    Bulk messaging, link dumping, or promoting other services.

  • Sexual content sent without consent

    Explicit images, videos or messages that the other person did not ask for.

  • Anything involving minors

    Accounts belonging to, or content depicting, anyone under 18. This is reported to the authorities.

  • Illegal activity

    Drugs, weapons, trafficking, stolen goods, or any other unlawful transaction.

  • Impersonation and fake profiles

    Pretending to be someone else or misrepresenting who you are.

  • Sharing private information

    Publishing someone else's photos, phone number, address or messages without permission.

Blocks on this platform are permanent. A blocked account keeps its login but loses access to search, profiles and every existing conversation immediately. We do not run temporary suspensions or warnings.

Staying safe

  • Never send money, gift cards or crypto to someone you met here.
  • Do not share bank details, ID documents or passwords.
  • Sharing your live location is optional — you can always decline.
  • If a conversation feels wrong, report it and stop replying.
