Preserve your ability to leave independently and verify uncertainty before sharing private locations.
Safety is part of the product.
Clear intent never replaces consent, verification, privacy controls or good judgment.
Agreement to chat or meet never implies agreement to sexual contact. Consent stays specific and reversible.
Share home, workplace, routine and exact location only when you actively choose to.
Do not send money, crypto, gift cards, passwords or verification codes to someone you just met online.
Sensitive-media controls help, but digital content can still be copied outside an app.
A badge can be useful evidence of likeness or age checks; it is never a guarantee of good behavior.
