Privacy and Safety Online

Your digital safety matters as much as physical safety.

Protecting Your Identity

Separate Identities

• Use a separate email for kink accounts
• Consider a scene name different from legal name
• Don't link to vanilla social media

Photo Safety

• No identifiable backgrounds
• Consider obscuring face or tattoos
• Check photo metadata/location data
• Watermark photos if sharing

Platform Security

• Use strong, unique passwords
• Enable two-factor authentication
• Review privacy settings regularly
• Know what data each platform collects

Vetting Online Connections

Before meeting someone from online:

• Video chat first
• Verify through community connections
• Do a reverse image search
• Trust your instincts about inconsistencies
• Meet publicly first

If Things Go Wrong

• Document harassment (screenshots)
• Use block features liberally
• Report to platform moderators
• Reach out to community leaders
• Remember: it's not your fault
