Section 03

Safety and enforcement

  • Use Report or Block in the chat menu whenever something feels wrong. A report sends up to 20 recent messages and any photos or voice notes from that chat to our safety team.
  • We may warn, hide, suspend or permanently ban accounts and devices that break these rules, with or without notice. Accounts reported by several different people may be hidden automatically until we review them.
  • We cooperate with law enforcement where the law requires.
  • Meeting in person: we don't run background checks. Meet in public, tell a friend where you're going, arrange your own transport, and leave if you feel unsafe. In an emergency, call your local emergency number.

Section 04

How the service works

  • Chats are ephemeral: they are deleted when either person leaves, and can't be recovered, even by us.
  • Obscura is free. We may change, limit or stop features (for example daily limits of 50 connects and 3 pings) at any time.
  • Photos are checked on your phone by an automated nudity filter. It can make mistakes; blocked photos are simply not sent or shown.
  • You keep ownership of what you send. You give other chat participants permission to view it once, within the app, and you give us permission to review it if a chat is reported.
  • You can delete your account at any time in Settings. We may end the Service or your access with reasonable notice where possible.
