Account, photos, visibility, meetings and events: what you need to feel confident, from the first message to the end of the evening.
A strong account starts with a unique password used nowhere else. A password manager can help you keep track of it.
No one needs your password to help you — not another member, not the team behind the site. If someone asks for it, end the conversation.
Each photograph can be public, limited to your connections or kept to yourself. You choose photo by photo, and you can change the setting at any time.
Before publishing an image, look at what it gives away in the background: a licence plate, an address or a recognisable view of your building.
You decide what appears in your profile and how people can find you.
Visibility can be adjusted without recreating a profile, and you can change it back whenever you like.
The Report button is available from every profile, conversation and room.
Blocking ends contact: the person can no longer write to you or see your profile. Reporting brings the behaviour to the attention of moderation.
The platform processes no payments and no money transfers. No conversation here should be used to ask you for funds.
Requests for gift cards, cryptocurrency, transfers or banking details are warning signs, whatever reason is given.
Some people push to continue the conversation elsewhere, very quickly. You are under no obligation to agree, now or later.
While you stay in the site’s messages and rooms, you keep access to blocking, reporting and visibility tools.
For a first meeting, choose a public, busy place that is easy to leave: a café, a restaurant or a busy park.
Tell someone you trust where and when you are going, and stay in control of your own transport. You do not have to give out your address.
Plan the trip home before the meeting even starts. A route you already know removes much of the stress at the end of an evening.
A few simple habits make the way home calmer.
Events take place in public venues where you can come and go freely.
You can leave an event at any time, without having to explain yourself.
Published wishes are reviewed before they become visible. A wish must stay respectful and cannot be used to get around the rules.
You can remove a wish or change its visibility at any time.
The Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre warns about urgent money requests, pressure to invest and attempts to isolate someone from trusted friends. Do not share banking credentials or send money to someone you have not met.
