Last Updated: 19 February 2026

You Control the Conversation

You are always in control of how you interact.

• You can disconnect at any time
• You do not have to answer any question
• You can skip conversations that don't feel right
• You can take breaks whenever you want

If a conversation becomes uncomfortable, ending it is the simplest and safest option.

Protect Your Personal Information

Avoid sharing details that could identify or locate you in the real world. Examples include:

• Phone numbers
• Home or work addresses
• Financial information
• Identification details
• Personal contact accounts

Once information is shared, it may be difficult to control how it is used.

Be Careful with External Links

Not all links shared by other users are safe.

• Avoid clicking unfamiliar links
• Do not download files from unknown sources
• Be cautious of requests to move conversations elsewhere

If something feels suspicious, it's best to disconnect.

Use Media Sharing Thoughtfully

StrangerLine allows users to exchange images and voice messages during conversations. To stay safe:

• Only share content you are comfortable sharing
• Remember that recipients may capture or save what they receive
• Do not feel pressured to send media
• You can choose not to open media sent to you

Images are blurred by default so you can decide whether to view them.

Trust Your Instincts

Your comfort matters. If something feels unusual, confusing, or uncomfortable:

• 🚪 Disconnect from the conversation
• 📢 Use reporting tools if necessary
• ⏸️ Take a break from the platform

You are never obligated to continue interacting.

Be Mindful of Requests

Some users may ask for favors, information, or assistance. Consider carefully before responding to requests involving:

• Money or financial transactions
• Personal details
• Moving to other platforms
• Sharing private content

If a request feels inappropriate, you can decline and move on.

Respect Mutual Boundaries

Healthy conversations are based on mutual comfort.

• Respect when others decline to answer questions
• Do not pressure others for personal information
• Accept when someone ends a conversation
• Keep interactions friendly and considerate

Use Reporting Tools When Needed

If you encounter behavior that seems inappropriate or concerning:

1. Disconnect from the conversation
2. Use the report feature
3. Block the user if available

Reports help us maintain a better experience for everyone.

Stay Aware of Your Environment

If you are using voice or video features:

• Be mindful of what is visible or audible around you
• Avoid showing sensitive surroundings
• Use appropriate lighting and positioning
• Consider your privacy before enabling camera or microphone

Take Breaks When Needed

Online interactions can sometimes be tiring or overwhelming.

• 🌟 Step away if you feel stressed
• ⏰ Limit usage to what feels comfortable
• 🔄 Return when you feel ready

Your well-being should always come first.
