Welcome to Furtrieve Community!

We want Furtrieve Community to be a fun, safe and inclusive space where anyone can be themselves while getting to know others. That’s what these Community Guidelines are for–to set expectations for everyone’s behavior, both on and off the app. Please note that not following these guidelines can have real consequences ranging from an account suspension to a ban from the platform.

Furtrieve Community’s Rules:

1. Consider boundaries. Comfort levels vary from person to person. That’s why we don’t allow nudity, sexual content, expressing sexual desires, or looking for sex on your public profile. If you are in a private conversation, these are okay if everyone is okay with it. Consent matters.
2. Share cautiously and thoughtfully. Don’t publicly broadcast your personal information or ways for people to connect with you (no public displays of things like phone numbers, emails, or social handles). Sharing out your bank account numbers, or email password is always a bad idea. Don’t ask others to send you their personal details either. We built Furtrieve Community with safety in mind so you can talk, text, and/or video chat through the app to get to know the person(s) or service providers you are talking with.
3. Steer clear of violent content. We promote positivity and won’t tolerate any sort of violent content that contains gore, death, images or descriptions of violent acts (against humans or animals), use of weapons, animal abuse in any form, and anything advocating or glorifying self-harm.

If we believe there’s a risk of imminent harm, we may take steps to assist, like reaching out directly to crisis resources.

4. Make personal connections, not business ones. Don’t advertise, promote, or share your social handles to gain followers, sell items, fundraise, or campaign (unless in compliance with the Services component of Furtrieve Community). This also means Furtrieve Community is not the venue to solicit for sex related work, escort services, or compensated relationships. Please do not use Furtrieve Community for this purpose.
5. Just be you. People want to meet the real you, not your fake persona. Don’t create a fake account or pretend to be someone you’re not, even if it’s just for fun.
6. Communicate Respectfully. Talking to new people can be fun but challenging, especially when you’re meeting and communicating with humans from all walks of life. Always respect the people you’re talking with-being nice and respectful goes a long way.

If the conversation goes unexpectedly awry and you find yourself getting upset or feeling angry–pause and reflect before you react. Harassment, threats, bullying, intimidation, doxing, sextortion, blackmail, or anything intentionally done to cause harm is not allowed.

Furtrieve Community is not a place for hate. We will never stand behind racism, bigotry, hatred, or violence based on who someone is, how they identify or what they look like. This includes (but not limited to) someone’s race, ethnicity, religious affiliation, disability, physicality, gender, gender identity, age, national origin, or sexual orientation. If you see someone who doesn’t meet your personal criteria, don’t like their profile or un-match and move on. Don’t report them unless you think they’ve violated our policies.  Over-reporting on users based on your personal beliefs yet don’t violate our Community Guidelines, TOS, Privacy Policy, or the aforementioned criteria will result in a warning and potential account suspension and ban.

7. Lead with kindness, not harm. Any acts or behavior that suggests, intends, or causes harm to another member – either on or offline, physically or digitally – will be taken very seriously. This includes anything calling for or inciting harm.

If you have been hurt by someone on Furtrieve Community: First, please take care of yourself.  Second, take some time to decide on what you need to do to heal, whether that be accountability measures, disclosure, support, or all of the above. If this includes reporting the harm to us, please reach out. We are here for you.

10. One account per person.Each account can only have one owner. For logistic and privacy reasons, we can’t support multiple people accessing the same account,so each individual needs to have their own.
