We do not screen our users, so please use good judgment and common sense in
deciding whom to meet or trust with your personal information. We do not
provide contact details to other members through any of our apps and instead
route all messages through us. If at any time you wish to stop receiving

them. You can also report threats, abuse or any other inappropriate conduct
by contacting us.
