Terms and community standards

Use Shy gently, honestly, and only as an adult.

These terms set the current rules for using Shy gently, honestly, and safely.

Adults Only

Shy is for people 18 or older. Do not use Shy to contact minors or represent yourself as someone else.

Kind Conduct

Do not harass, threaten, shame, pressure, spam, scam, stalk, sexualize unwilling people, or share hateful, illegal, deceptive, or unsafe content.

Your Content

Only add profile text, photos, contact details, and messages that you have the right to share. Do not post private data, explicit content, or another person's image without permission.

Safety Tools

Users can hide, block, unblock, report, and forget data. Reports may include recent reported-message context for owner review and can lead to account limits or removal.

Meeting People

You are responsible for your choices when chatting or meeting. Meet in public, share slowly, keep your own way home, and leave if anything feels wrong.

Product Changes

Shy may change, pause features, remove content, limit accounts, or stop access while safety issues are reviewed.
