Chax – Safer Connections and Meetups

Getting to know someone in the app

• Consider keeping early conversations in the app. Be cautious if someone pressures you to move immediately to another messaging service or share your phone number or social accounts.
• Think before sharing your home address, workplace, routine, identification document, bank details or account information. Check your profile and event visibility settings.
• Do not send money, gift cards or cryptoassets to someone you met through the app. Report requests framed as an investment or emergency. Never share a verification code or password.
• You can block and report conduct that is uncomfortable, persistent or deceptive. Disliking a person alone is not a rule violation; describe the specific conduct when you report it.

Before a first meeting or event

• Choose a public, accessible place for a first meeting. Check an event's location, time, host and participation rules.
• Tell a trusted person about your plans using a method you choose.
• Arrange your own travel and a way home. Keep your phone charged and able to connect. Make it easy to leave whenever you wish.
• Consent is needed at every stage for a photo, message, meeting or physical contact, and it can be withdrawn. You do not need to justify a boundary or your decision to leave.

If something goes wrong

Move to a safe place first. If you are in immediate danger, contact local emergency or law-enforcement services; Chax is not an emergency response service. Use the relevant in-app report control or email [email protected]. If possible, identify the date, profile or event and relevant evidence without unnecessarily spreading another person's private data. Chax reviews rule violations within its service; it does not replace police or court processes.
