Built so you can feel safe
We designed Crushsprout around privacy and consent first, especially for women. So here is exactly how it protects you.
Nobody can browse you
There are no public profiles and no search. So only the one person connected to you can see your anonymous profile.
End-to-end encrypted chat
Your device encrypts every message before it leaves. After that, Crushsprout's servers only pass it along and can't read it, and neither can we.
Messages disappear
Nothing stays: each message, photo and voice note disappears after it's read (a minute later, or up to 24 hours if the invited person chooses), for both of you, and from our servers.
Consent at every step
The invited person decides when chat and games open. Meanwhile, the inviter can say they're ready, but we never pass on a “not now”. Later, each of you reveals who you are only by choice, one person at a time.
Invites that respect people
Invites never reveal the sender. Anyone can tap “Don't contact me again” to stop all future invites. We never tell senders if someone declines. We also limit how many invites anyone can send, so nobody gets spammed.
Block and report
Block anyone, any time. To report, just tell us what happened in your own words. Nothing from your chat goes with it, because whatever happens in the chat stays in the chat.
Delete means delete
Deleting your account removes your data and media immediately. We also delete unanswered invites, including the invited email, after 40 days.
Meeting in person
A few simple habits help you feel safe and relaxed when you meet.
- Keep chatting in Crushsprout until you feel comfortable. Take your time.
- Meet somewhere public and busy for the first few dates, like a café or a park in daylight.
- Tell a friend where you're going, who you're meeting and when you expect to be back.
- Arrange your own transport there and back, and keep your phone charged.
- Stay in control of your drinks and don't leave them unattended.
- Never send money or share financial details, however convincing the story.
- Trust your instincts. You can leave at any time, and you can block and report.
