• Zero personal data collection — no account registration, phone number, or social handle required. Enjoy truly anonymous stranger video calls.
• One-tap reporting & instant blocking — flag violations immediately; abusive users receive permanent device and network fingerprint bans.
• Strict 18+ adult community — enforcing strict age restrictions and zero tolerance against underage access or minor endangerment.
