Health, Safety and Privacy
Location privacy, sharing controls, health disclosures and hostile-environment safety tips.
Every topic below links to its own knowledge-base article. We rewrote the material for ASBL SQWEER while preserving the coverage, structure and policy depth the community expects.
Quick safety guide
Use photo verification, trust your instincts, meet in public and avoid oversharing exact location or financial details.
Can other users triangulate my exact location?
Sqweer is designed around approximate location and city-level discovery rather than exact public coordinates.
How do I stop others from sharing my profile?
Use profile visibility and sharing settings to reduce resharing surfaces where available.
Know Your Status (KYS)
Sqweer can support voluntary health-status disclosure, testing reminders and trusted educational content where enabled.
Safety tips if you are in an anti-LGBTQ environment
Reduce visible profile data, use discreet photos, disable precise discovery and avoid linking personal identity across platforms.
Spam and scam awareness
Treat urgency, off-platform payment requests and requests for sensitive personal data as warning signs.
Online communication safety
Keep boundaries clear, avoid oversharing early and use blocking and reporting tools as soon as something feels off.
Meeting safely
Use public first meetings, share limited plans with someone you trust and keep your own transport options.
Account privacy and security
Use a unique password, verify your email, review sharing settings and react quickly to suspicious sign-in activity.
