Safety

Calm by design, safe by default

Narumelo is built so you never feel cornered, exposed, or pressured. These protections are on for everyone, all the time — you don’t need to opt in.

Mutual direct messages

A direct message only opens after both people agree. You can never receive an unsolicited message — the request must be accepted first.

No exact location sharing

We show your city only if you choose to. We never store or share your street address, coordinates, or postal code.

Easy pause controls

Pause matching, hush a circle's notifications, or take a quiet break in a single tap. Resume whenever you're ready.

Reporting that works

Available report controls send concerns to an authorised human moderation queue. Reports are prioritised by severity and context.

Blocking goes both ways

Block anyone instantly. Blocks always go both ways — neither of you can message the other afterward.

Human moderation

Authorised moderators can warn, suspend, or ban accounts when needed. Moderation access is limited to safety, policy enforcement, and service operations.

Private email addresses

Your email is never displayed publicly, never shared with other members, and never sold. We use it only for sign-in and account notifications.

No tracking or ads

We do not currently use behavioural analytics, advertising pixels, or device fingerprinting. Essential hosting, authentication, and security logs still keep the service running.

How reporting works

1

You report

Tap the flag on any message or profile. Add an optional note explaining what felt off.

2

We review

An authorised moderator reviews the available evidence and relevant context. Response times vary with severity and moderation capacity.

3

We act

Depending on severity, action may include content removal, a warning, suspension, or a permanent ban. We may notify you when the review is resolved.

Controls you always have

Pause matching

Hide yourself from recommendations until you're ready.

Hide your city

One toggle in your profile — instant and reversible.

Block anyone

Removes the connection and stops all messaging, both ways.

Report concerns

Available report controls send concerns to the moderation queue for severity-based human review.

Delete your account

Request permanent deletion from your profile. Personal account data is scheduled for deletion within 30 days; some circle messages may remain anonymised.
