Tips
1.Always be yourself
Don't pretend to be someone you are not. Authenticity is vital for establishing meaningful connections.
2.Connections should stay on 🐴
Trust and safety are our number one priority. We recommend that all your interactions with new connections remain in the app while getting to know someone. Users with bad intentions often attempt to move the conversation off-platform right away.
3.Control your profile and personal information
Never share your personal information, such as your home or work address, government identification, or detailed information about your routine with people you don't know.
If you choose to share these items with other 🐴 users, we may not be able to remove them or make them unavailable to anyone you have shared them with.
4.Do not send money or share financial information
Never send money, even if a person is claiming to be in an emergency. Transactions such as wire transfers are impossible to reverse. If another user asks you for money, report it to us immediately.
How to Block
You permanently block a user at any time. This will prevent them from being able to contact you in any way.
To block a user
1.Open the user's profile
2.Tap the three dots on the right corner
3.Tap "Block" and click confirm
When you block another user, they won't be notified that you blocked them. They won't be able to view your profile or interact with you through direct messages.
Protect your Account
1.Pick a strong password and be cautious when connecting from shared or public devices.A strong password typically ranges between 12 to 16 characters in length.Randomness is critical in password strength.Remember,never include personal identifiable information in your password.
2.🐴 will never send you an email requesting your username and password information — if you receive an email asking for account information, never click the link.
Women's Safety Online
1.In addition to our Safety Tips, we advise that women take extra precautions when using any online social app. While you should feel empowered by 🐴 as a social tool, you should be cautious of how much information you share and proactively avoid those who make you feel uncomfortable by blocking or unfriending.
2.We have a zero-tolerance policy towards bullying and harassment of any kind and any acts of intimidation or behaviour that disproportionately impact women.
3.In addition to our policies and detection technology, our tools are designed to help women, and any user, control their experience on our platform.
4.Examples of NGOs who are specialised in supporting women's online safety:
Fear of video recording or sharing imagery without consent
1.If someone is making you uncomfortable or pressuring you into providing intimate imagery, you can block them straightaway. We do not accept this type of harassment on our platform. You have the right to say no.
2.If you think someone has recorded you, shared, or states their intention to share your intimate images without your consent, report it to us immediately. Sharing of non-consensual intimate imagery is unlawful in many places around the world.
3.What should I do if a user is threatening to share an image of myself I already sent?
• Report it to our Trust and Safety Team here immediately
• Block the user
• Report this to local law enforcement
