Anyone There
safety standards
our commitment to safety
Anyone There is designed to be a safe way to chat with people nearby. We take user safety seriously and comply with Apple App Store and Google Play guidelines for apps that allow user-generated content and live chat. This page describes the standards and practices we follow.
age requirement
Anyone There is rated 18+. You must be 18 years of age or older to use this app. By agreeing to the Terms of Use, you confirm that you meet this requirement.
terms of use & zero-tolerance policy
All users must agree to the Terms of Use before using the app. The terms make clear that there is zero tolerance for objectionable content or abusive behaviour. Users who violate the terms may be immediately removed from the service.
consent-based chat
Anyone There does not connect strangers in random, unmediated chats. To start a conversation, a user sends a chat request — a short first message — to a nearby person. The recipient sees who is requesting (their nickname and distance) and can accept or decline before any further messages are exchanged. No chat begins without the explicit consent of both parties.
no personal information required
Anyone There does not require or collect any personally identifiable information. No name, email, phone number, or account creation is needed to use the app. Each user is identified only by a random UUID generated on their device.
no persistent profiles
There are no user accounts. Your identity exists only on your device. Deleting the app removes all locally stored data. The server holds no persistent profile information.
session-based messaging
Chat messages are stored in server memory only for the duration of an active session (up to 24 hours) and are then permanently discarded. Messages are never written to disk on the server or on your device. There is no message history to search, export, or leak.
location privacy
Your exact coordinates are never shown to other users. Other people only see a vague distance hint (e.g. "nearby" or "far away"). Location is only accessed while the app is in the foreground and is never stored on disk. Coordinates are removed from server memory within 60 seconds of disconnecting.
no direct messaging outside the app
Anyone There does not provide any mechanism to share phone numbers, email addresses, social media handles, or other contact information through the platform. Communication is limited to in-app chat with nearby users only.
content moderation
Messages are short-lived, not indexed, and not searchable. We do not host user-generated content beyond temporary chat messages and optional nicknames/bios.
The app includes built-in tools to report and block other users (see blocking and reporting below). When a user is reported by several different people, they are automatically hidden from everyone nearby.
In addition, we review all reports manually. The developer acts on objectionable content reports within 24 hours by removing the content and ejecting the offending user from the service.
If you encounter abusive or harmful behaviour, report it immediately using the in-app report button, or contact us directly at apptakk@gmail.com.
child safety
Anyone There is rated 18+ and is not intended for use by minors. The app does not collect personal data, create persistent profiles, or enable contact sharing.
We comply with applicable child safety and privacy regulations. If you believe a minor has been exposed to harmful content or behaviour on Anyone There, please contact us immediately at apptakk@gmail.com.
blocking and reporting
Anyone There lets you block or report any user directly from the chat screen. Open a conversation and use the menu to:
- Block — the user is hidden from your nearby list and can no longer message you. Blocking is private and reversible: you can unblock them later from the same menu.
- Report — the user is reported for abuse and automatically blocked for you. When enough different people report the same user, that user is hidden from everyone nearby until reviewed.
Because Anyone There is anonymous and session-based, there are no friend lists, follow systems, or persistent connections between users. If you feel unsafe, you can also:
- Close the app — all connections and messages are discarded immediately.
- Reinstall the app — a new random identity is generated, making you unrecognisable to anyone you previously interacted with.
- Report serious abuse to apptakk@gmail.com.
no third-party tracking
The mobile apps contain no analytics, crash reporting, or advertising SDKs. No third-party code runs inside the app. Your data is never sold or shared with any third party.
