Safety Tips

Simple habits for safer conversations

A practical guide for meeting new people on Donut while protecting your privacy, comfort, and boundaries.

Protect personal details

You control what you share. Keep private information private until you feel genuinely comfortable.

If a conversation feels off, you can leave, block, or report. You do not owe anyone continued attention.

Donut works best when people treat each other with patience, kindness, and respect.

Do not share your home address, school, workplace, daily routine, or exact location with someone you just met.
Avoid sharing your phone number, personal email, or other private contact details unless you are comfortable and understand the risk.
Be careful with screenshots, documents, mail, IDs, or background details that may reveal where you live or work.
Use your best judgment before moving a conversation to another app or platform.

Do not send money, gift cards, crypto, account codes, verification codes, or login information to someone you met online.
Be cautious if someone creates urgency, asks for secrecy, or pressures you to help with an emergency.
Report suspicious requests so the Donut team can review the account.

Leave any live conversation that becomes uncomfortable, sexual, threatening, hateful, or manipulative.
Do not tolerate harassment, bullying, pressure, or repeated unwanted contact.
Remember that you can report someone during a live session or afterward from History.

Good friendships take time. Donut is designed to help people meet, but you should move at your own pace and keep your boundaries clear.
