1. Not allowed
- Paid-service solicitation, advance-payment requests, UPI or gift-card pressure, investment schemes, or financial manipulation.
- Fake identities, impersonation, deceptive relationship intent, coordinated abuse, or attempts to evade a restriction.
- Harassment, threats, stalking, hate, coercion, blackmail, doxxing, or unwanted sexual conduct.
- Sexual exploitation, trafficking, non-consensual intimate imagery, or any sexual content involving a minor.

- Content or conduct that is illegal, violent, dangerous, or infringes another person's rights.
2. Reporting and blocking
Use the report or block control available from a profile, post, request, conversation, or call. Blocking prevents further direct interaction and removes the blocked member from your experience where supported. Reports are reviewed using the submitted context, account history, safety signals, and available evidence.
Do not make knowingly false or retaliatory reports. Good-faith reports are protected and are not disclosed to the reported member except where required by law.
3. Verification
Hapdrop may require account, identity, age, or photo verification. Verification badges indicate that a defined check was completed; they do not guarantee future behavior. Verification material is handled according to the Privacy Policy and is not displayed to other members.
4. Safer conversations
- Keep early conversations in the app while establishing trust.
- Never send money, OTPs, passwords, financial credentials, or intimate material under pressure.
- Be cautious when a person quickly redirects you to another service, claims an emergency, or refuses reasonable verification.
- Stop and report any interaction involving paid services, threats, coercion, or suspicious payment requests.
5. Meeting in person
- Meet in a populated public place and arrange your own transport.
- Tell someone you trust where you are going and when you expect to return.
- Keep your phone charged, protect your home and work address, and leave whenever you feel uncomfortable.
- Respect consent. Consent must be freely given, specific, and reversible at any time.
6. Enforcement and appeals
Responses may include content removal, warnings, feature limits, verification requirements, suspension, termination, preservation of relevant evidence, or referral to authorities. Eligible decisions can be appealed through Hapdrop Support.
