Safety Tips for Private Chat

Start with clear boundaries

• Decide what you are comfortable sharing before you start a match.
• You can begin with text if you are not ready for video.
• You can leave a conversation at any time.
• Do not feel pressured to turn on your camera or microphone.

Protect your privacy

• Avoid sharing your full name, address, workplace, school, or financial details.
• Be careful with links, downloads, and requests to move the conversation elsewhere.
• Use a background and lighting setup that does not reveal your home details.
• Review your browser camera and microphone permissions when you are done.

During a live chat

• If someone makes you uncomfortable, leave the conversation.
• Do not send money, gift cards, or payment details to strangers.
• Be cautious of anyone who rushes intimacy, secrecy, or urgency.
• Trust your judgment — a conversation should feel respectful.

Reporting and support

Use the in-product controls available in your session to leave a match, block unwanted contact when available, or report behavior that breaks the community rules.

For account or product questions, visit Contact or read the Community Guidelines.

Safety tools and outcomes depend on the product controls available in your session and on how other people behave. No chat service can remove every risk.
