Community guidelines

Nehzn works because people show up as themselves. These are the few rules that protect that.

Last updated 5 October 2026.

The short version

Be the person you would want to meet. Answer honestly, use your own photos, and treat a stranger’s time and attention as something you have been lent rather than owed.

Nobody can message you until you have both waved. If someone makes you uncomfortable, block them — they are never told, they simply stop appearing, and you stop appearing to them.

What is not allowed

Anything involving a child	Sexual content involving minors, or anything that puts a child at risk, is reported to the authorities and the account is removed permanently. There is no second chance for this.
Harassment and threats	Abusing, intimidating, stalking or threatening someone. Repeatedly contacting a person who has stopped replying counts.
Hate	Attacking people for their religion, caste, race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, disability or where they come from.
Sexual content	Nudity, pornography, and sexual content sent to someone who did not ask for it.
Someone else's private information	Addresses, phone numbers, documents or photographs of a person who has not agreed to them being shared.
Pretending to be someone else	Impersonating another person, using their photos, or claiming an identity that is not yours.
Deliberate falsehoods	Knowingly posting something untrue in order to mislead or to cause harm.
Scams and money	Fraud, phishing, money laundering, gambling, and recruiting people into schemes.
Spam and selling	Advertising, bulk messaging, or using Nehzn to promote a business.
Violence	Encouraging or threatening violence, and content that supports terrorism or endangers the unity, integrity, defence or security of India.
Content that is not yours	Posting work that belongs to somebody else without permission.
Anything that attacks the service	Malicious software, scraping, automated accounts, or attempts to break the app.

Under 18

Nehzn is for adults only. If you believe someone on Nehzn is under 18, report them — “This person is under 18” is the first reason in the list. We remove accounts we find, and the data goes with them.

In hotspots

A hotspot belongs to whoever is in it. Keep to its topic, do not join a room to advertise, and remember a room is a group of people rather than an audience. If a room itself is the problem, report the room rather than each message.

Reporting

You can report a person, a room, a message or a photo from inside the app. Reports go to us, never to the person reported, and they are never told who reported them.

Tell us what you can — an optional note helps us understand what we are looking at. If somebody is in immediate danger, contact the local authorities first; we are not an emergency service.

What happens next

Depending on what happened, we may remove the content, warn the account, suspend it, or remove it permanently. Serious cases — anything involving a child, or a credible threat to someone’s safety — go straight to removal and, where appropriate, to the authorities.

We keep reports even if the person who filed them later deletes their account, so that a pattern of behaviour stays visible. The reporter’s identity is removed when they leave.

If you think we got it wrong
