Frequently asked questions
Straight answers about privacy, search, messaging, and staying in control.
Yes. Choose New Zealand for a country-wide search, or select a supported city to narrow Discover. You can update the location controls at any time.
No. You can keep your shared experience private, make it visible once a conversation starts, or show it publicly. You can also choose “Prefer not to say yet” and update this later. If you keep it private, your profile won’t appear in search results for that specific condition.
Profile photos are served only to signed-in members who are allowed to view the profile, so they are not publicly accessible or indexed by search engines such as Google. An authorised member may still save or screenshot a photo and share it elsewhere, so avoid including anything you would not want another member to retain.
Yes. You need to be signed in to read or join the chat rooms. Conversations are not publicly available to search engines such as Google. Other members in the room can see what you share, and the moderation team may review reported content when necessary. Please avoid sharing information you would not want other members to see.
