Safety

Our approach to safety

Everyday people open our apps to make new connections, share stories and learn about the world but in order for everyone to have meaningful interactions, they first need to feel safe.

Guidelines

We enforce community guidelines and nudge users toward intended usage

Systems

We use industry-leading security technology to monitor and enforce

People

We give users choice and have a dedicated team ready to respond

Safety Toolkit

We want all community members to have a positive experience, which means being as safe and secure as possible. This is why we developed a number of seamless safety features in our apps.

Real people only

Our technology ensures that human faces are visible on camera whenever we are connecting people. We default to blurring the screen unless users choose otherwise.

Content moderation

We promote clean chat and make sure people are not exposed to inappropriate content. Automated content moderation is combined with a responsive team.

Identity verification

Our communities are exclusively 18 years or older and age will need to be verified regardless of how users sign up. We conduct deeper KYC in-app when necessary.

Blocking and reporting

We empower users with seamless, instant reporting tools and the ability to block and unblock specific users at any time.

Each of our products has a dedicated safety center.
