Safety & trust
Good conversations need trust on both sides.
Dostify is a social conversation platform for voice calls — not a dating, escort, adult-content or in-person meeting service. Here's how we approach safety, and what's still being finalised.
Our approach
How we approach safety
Companion identity verification
Companions verify their identity with PAN, accept a code of conduct and have their profile and voice intro reviewed before going live.
Respectful conduct
Clear guidelines keep conversations friendly and non-sexual. Conduct that breaks them can lead to action on the account.
Privacy-conscious by design
Calls happen inside the app and your phone number stays private. Companions' PAN details are never shown to callers.
Clear call pricing
The applicable rate is shown before you connect, and calls are paid from a balance you control.
Payment & call support
Money debited but balance not added? Call dropped? Raise a ticket linked to the payment or call.
Reporting & complaints
Report or block someone right from the app, or raise a ticket that you can track until it's resolved.
Community expectations
What we expect from everyone on Dostify
These standards apply to callers and companions alike. Breaking them can lead to warnings, restrictions or removal from the platform.
- Conversations stay friendly, respectful and non-sexual.
- No harassment, hate speech, threats or bullying.
- No requests for personal contact details or in-person meetings.
- No requests for money or payments outside the app.
- Either person can end a call at any time, for any reason.
Privacy principles
Designed with privacy in mind
- Collect what's needed. We aim to collect only the information required to run calls, payments, payouts, verification and support.
- Use it for stated purposes. Information is used to provide and secure the service, meet legal obligations and help you when you contact us.
- Be transparent. Our Privacy Policy (currently in draft) will set out exactly what we collect and why.
Reporting & complaints
How to raise a concern
- 1End the call if you feel uncomfortable.
- 2Use Report in the app — choose a reason, add details and block them if you want.
- 3Our team reviews the report, and you can follow up through a support ticket.
- 4Where guidelines were broken, we may take action on the account involved.
In an emergency, or if you believe someone is in immediate danger, call India's emergency number 112. Dostify support is not an emergency service.
Transparency
What's in place — and what's still being finalised
We'd rather be clear than over-promise. Here is where things stand.
Part of the Dostify approach
- Companions verify their identity with PAN, accept a code of conduct and are reviewed before going live.
- Calls happen inside the app — phone numbers aren't shared between callers and companions.
- Report or block someone from the app, including straight after a call.
- Support tickets for call, payment and account issues that you can track in the app.
- Each companion's per-minute rate is shown before you call, paid from a prepaid balance you control.
Still being finalised
- Review times for reports and tickets, which depend on volume and the nature of the concern.
- Data retention periods, which will be set out in the final Privacy Policy.
- Refund eligibility for call and payment issues, which will be set out in the final Refund Policy.
We don't claim end-to-end encryption, guaranteed anonymity or live monitoring of calls.
