Staying Safe on Purrlyne
Practical tips for chatting with strangers — not a legal policy. See our Child Safety Standards for that.
Protect your personal information
- Don't share your full name, home address, workplace, or school with someone you just met.
- Keep financial details — bank info, card numbers, crypto wallets — off the table, always.
- Be cautious about sharing other social accounts until you've built some trust.
Watch for common red flags
- Someone who rushes to move the conversation off-platform right away.
- Requests for money, gift cards, or "investment" opportunities — this is almost always a scam.
- Pressure to share photos or personal details you're not comfortable with.
- A story that keeps changing, or urgency designed to stop you from thinking it through.
Use the tools built into the app
- Hit "Next" or "Stop" any time a conversation makes you uncomfortable — you don't owe anyone an explanation.
- Use the Report button on any chat, room, or profile to flag abuse, harassment, or anything that concerns you.
- Only add people as contacts once you actually trust them — it's not required to keep chatting.
If you're meeting someone in person
- Meet in a public place, and tell a friend or family member where you're going.
- Arrange your own transportation rather than relying on the other person.
- Trust your instincts — if something feels off, it's okay to cancel.
