Safety and Privacy on Fkbae
Discretion is a practice, not a promise. These guidelines reflect the practical standards we endorse for navigating adult connections with greater awareness and control.

Our Community Standards
These principles foster respectful interactions. They are practical boundaries - not legal advice - that help maintain a safer environment for everyone involved.
- Consent is non-negotiable. Proceed only with clear, ongoing agreement. Ambiguity or silence means you should pause or stop.
- Harassment is prohibited. This includes repeated contact after a request to stop, threats, or any form of pressure.
- Exploitation has zero tolerance. We do not permit content involving minors or non-consensual material. Suspected illegal activity should be reported to authorities.
- Authenticity builds trust. Misleading profiles with fake details or stolen photos undermine the community, a practice we actively discourage.
- Respect personal privacy. Do not share someone’s personal information, screenshots, or identifiable details without their explicit permission.
Five Foundational Privacy Habits
- Create digital separation: Use a dedicated browser profile and a separate email to keep your dating activity distinct from your personal or professional life.
- Manage notifications discreetly: Disable lock-screen previews and banner alerts for dating apps, especially in shared living or work environments.
- Limit profile data: Avoid listing your workplace, exact neighborhood, or daily routines. Crop photos to remove identifiable backgrounds or landmarks.
- Maintain communication control: Pressure to meet quickly, share intimate images, or justify your boundaries are significant warning signs. You can end the conversation.
- Conduct regular reviews: Briefly check your app permissions, cloud backup settings, and shared device access monthly to prevent accidental exposure.
A Pre-Meeting Checklist
1. Choose a Public Venue
Arrange first meetings in a well-populated place like a café. Avoid sharing your home address until you’ve established trust over time.
2. Inform a Trusted Contact
Let a friend know your general plans - location and expected time - without divulging unnecessary private details about your date.
3. Arrange Your Own Transport
Use your own car or a rideshare service. This gives you full control over when you choose to leave.
4. Be Mindful of Substances
Staying alert helps you recognize uncomfortable situations. Avoid accepting open drinks and monitor your own consumption.
5. Define Intimacy Boundaries
Only agree to what you genuinely want. You retain the right to change your mind, and a respectful partner will acknowledge that without debate.
6. Plan for Afterward
If something feels wrong, note relevant details for your own records. You can block the person and reach out to our Support team.
Guidelines for Secure Communication
Establish Expectations Early
Briefly state your preferences for discretion and pacing early in a conversation. This helps quickly identify incompatible matches.
Recognize Boundary Testing
Be cautious of immediate requests for financial help, demands for "proof," or pressure to move off-platform during initial contact.
End Conversations Cleanly
A simple, direct goodbye is sufficient. If someone persists after you’ve ended things, blocking them is a reasonable step for your comfort.
Managing Photos and Identity
Remove Identifying Elements
Check photos for visible workplace badges, unique tattoos, house numbers, or license plate reflections that could reveal your identity.
Verify Profile Images
If someone’s photos appear overly professional or generic, a reverse image search can help identify if they are stock or stolen pictures.
Control Cloud Sync Settings
Disable automatic cloud uploads for any folder containing dating app photos, especially if your cloud account is shared with others.
