Safety
Safe by default. Inclusive by design.
Blocking, reporting, privacy basics, and account deletion are free — always. No exceptions.
Tools that are always free
Report
Flag harassment, hate, scams, fake profiles and more.
Block
Instant, two-way. They can't see or message you. We don't tell them.
Unmatch
End a conversation and remove a match anytime.
Hide profile
Pause discovery without deleting anything.
Privacy controls
Choose what's public, down to each field.
Consent-first messaging
Chat unlocks on mutual match. You're in control.
Consent-first messaging means chat only unlocks on a mutual match — that protection is copy-and-code today; its illustration is in progress.
A quick look at staying in control
Block, report, and unmatch are one tap away on every profile and chat — and they're always free. Privacy controls let you choose exactly what's public. (Captions below; the video is muted and supplementary.)
Community Guidelines
The short version

LGBTQ+ inclusive by design
Gender, pronouns, and your public identity badge are three separate choices. Nothing sensitive is shown unless you opt in — and we never infer your gender from your pronouns.
