Key Safety Principles
-
Anonymity Matters: Protect your real-world identity. Never share your full name, location, phone number, workplace, or other personal identifiers publicly in any chat.
-
Think Before You Post: Once you initiate a connection, remember that your words impact others. Share thoughtfully and responsibly.
-
Report Harmful Content: If you see harassment, threats, scams, or any unsafe behavior, report it immediately. Every report helps protect our community.
-
Respect Others: Even in an anonymous space, kindness and empathy matter. Treat others with dignity.
-
Stay Alert: If something feels suspicious, unsafe, or “off,” trust your instincts and disengage from the chat session immediately.
Tips for Staying Safe
-
Use a Unique Nickname: Avoid using real names, social media handles, or information that could identify you outside the platform.
-
Secure Your Device: Ensure your smartphone is protected with a secure PIN, passcode, or biometric authentication (FaceID/TouchID) to keep your anonymous sessions private from anyone who might access your phone.
-
Be Cautious with Links: Do not click suspicious links, external URLs, or download files shared by unknown users.
-
Know Where to Get Help: YourSecret is built for peer support. However, in case of emotional distress, acute stress, or mental health emergencies, please contact local professional support services or crisis helplines immediately.
