Dostbox arranges meetings in person, so safety is part of the product, not an add-on. Here is exactly what we do.
Nobody under 18 can join, and an account found to belong to someone younger is closed. These checks run on our servers, not just in the app.
Sign-up is refused if your date of birth shows you are under 18, and you confirm you are 18 or older.
The Verified badge needs a selfie plus an ID or college card. If the ID shows someone under 18, the account is closed.
"Someone who seems to be under 18" is an urgent report reason, answered within an hour.
An under-18 account is closed at once, and its photos and verification files are deleted.
One-to-one chat opens only when you both tap. Blocking hides you from each other everywhere.
Your Dost Deck shows people of your gender, unless you are both verified and choose everyone.
Others see your neighbourhood, never your exact location. Live sharing during a plan is your choice.
One-to-one meetups only for verified members on Ultra Premium who switch it on. Off by default.
Plans meet at public venues, with the Safe Meet kit below on every one.
Chats and bookings are encrypted or private; the STARTIONS team that runs Dostbox never reads your messages.
Plans meet at public places. Hosts are reminded every time.
Share your live location with up to three trusted contacts while a plan is on.
Tap when you arrive and when you leave, so your contacts know you are fine.
Always visible inside a live plan. It alerts your trusted contacts and our safety team.
After each plan: did you feel safe, would you meet these people again?
Paid treks, kayaking, rafting and camping come only from partners with a licence or safety certificate and a safety checklist.
We collect only what Dostbox needs, never sell data, show your neighbourhood instead of your location, keep clear retention limits, and let you delete your account from Settings at any time.
