Safety

You are talking to a stranger on the internet. That is the point of the product and also its main risk, so here is exactly what we do about it.

What we never show anyone

• Your email address. It is used for sign-in and nothing else, and it is never sent to the browser.
• Your exact location. Partners see the country you chose, if you chose one. We do not store or show your IP address or city.
• Your real name, unless you type it yourself. Only your username is public.

In every session

• Report sends us the session and your reason. Reports are reviewed and accounts can be suspended.
• Reports are deduplicated. An account reported by ten different users is automatically suspended and removed from active sessions.
• Block ends the conversation immediately and means the two of you will never be matched again.
• Links, email addresses and phone numbers are refused in chat, which stops most spam before it reaches you.
• Messages are rate-limited, so nobody can flood you.
• Sessions end on a timer. Nothing continues because you were too polite to leave.

Discussion-group safety

• Creators choose a limit from two to ten people. Larger peer-to-peer voice rooms use more bandwidth on every device.
• Group text uses the same link, contact-detail, profanity and spam filters as private chat.
• Group voice stays inside Talkpair and requires an explicit microphone permission from every participant.
• Administrators can close unsafe groups and suspend accounts from the moderation dashboard.

What we ask of you

Never share your address, bank details, documents or passwords — no chat partner needs them. Nobody here will ever ask you for money; if someone does, report them. If a conversation makes you uncomfortable, end it. You owe a stranger nothing, and the timer is there so leaving needs no excuse.

TalkPair is only for adults aged 18 and over. Users must confirm their age before creating an account or starting a guest chat. If you believe someone is under 18, use Report and choose “seems to be a child”.

What TalkPair offers

TalkPair is an online social chat service for adults to meet new people through live voice or text. It does not arrange paid dates, compensated companionship, sexual services, or transactional relationships. It is not a marriage or mail-order matchmaking service. Never send money or gifts to someone you meet here.
