Clear the frame.
Remove documents, addresses, work badges, school names, medicine labels, and reflective surfaces that reveal more than intended.
CONTROL IS PART OF THE PRODUCT
KEEP THE GOOD PART.
DROP THE RISK.
Random conversations work better when boundaries are visible before anything personal appears on screen.
Start matching →Share slowly.
Use broad topics before legal names, exact locations, financial details, or accounts that connect to your offline identity.
Consent can change.
Neither participant owes the other more time, another camera angle, contact details, or a specific kind of conversation.
Leave, report, block.
End the session when behavior feels coercive, deceptive, threatening, or unsafe. Use available report and block controls when a line is crossed.
60SECONDS BEFORE VIDEO
Look behind you.
Move mail, badges, family photographs, house numbers, and anything reflected in a mirror. A blurred background can hide detail but should not be your only privacy control.
Choose what stays private.
Decide in advance that legal names, exact locations, contact accounts, identity documents, and financial requests are outside the conversation.
Find the exit before the hello.
Know where to leave and where reporting appears. If someone applies pressure, captures private material, threatens you, or asks for money, end the conversation first.

Do the useful thing next.
Ending the conversation stops the immediate contact. What follows depends on what happened—an uncomfortable remark, an account shared too early, a payment request, or a credible threat do not need the same response.
- 01Use the product controls while the session is identifiable.
If a report or block control is available, use it before starting another match. The report and block guide explains what details are useful without asking you to confront the other person.
- 02Secure anything you exposed.
Change a reused password, review account sessions, and contact the relevant financial provider if money or payment credentials were involved. Do not send more money to “recover” an earlier payment.
- 03Keep evidence only when it is safe and lawful.
Note the time, account name, request, and any transaction reference. For threats, extortion, or suspected crime, preserve what you already have and contact the appropriate local service rather than continuing the chat.
