Nobody gets in unverified
A one-time code to a real company email is the only entry route. Free consumer mailboxes are rejected. One email can hold exactly one account, enforced by a one-way fingerprint.
Safety & privacy charter
Built women-first,
because it had to be.
Verification is the floor, not the ceiling. Every control on this page is live in the app today. Where something is not yet shipped, we say so explicitly rather than implying it.
Encrypted where it matters
Work emails are encrypted at rest. Passwords are hashed with bcrypt. Anonymous chat bodies are never written to the database at all.
Privacy is not one switch
Four photo-visibility levels, employer hiding, incognito swiping, symmetric colleague exclusion and full Keep-Away mode. Nine controls, each independent.
The controls
Everything you can switch on
before you switch anything else on.
Zero-retention anonymous chat
Q-Chat message bodies never touch our database. Sessions start anonymous, revealing is mutual and optional, and when either person ends the chat the log is destroyed for both of you. There is no archive to leak, subpoena or accidentally expose.
Boss Mode — incognito swiping
You become visible only to people you have already liked. Critical if you do not want your reporting line, your skip-level or your client discovering you exist on the app.
Hide Organisation
Keep your verified badge while removing your employer name from your public profile. You stay provably employed without being identifiable by company.
Symmetric colleague exclusion
Turn this on and colleagues never appear in your deck — and, crucially, you never appear in theirs. It is symmetric by design, so you cannot be seen by someone you have chosen not to see.
Four-level photo visibility
Show your picture to everyone, to buddies only, to matches only, or to nobody. Independent of everything else, changeable at any moment, and enforced on the server rather than in the app.
Keep-Away mode
Reduces your entire profile to a display name and mascot for anyone not already connected to you. No headline, no photo, no employer, no location.
Symmetric instant block
Blocking removes them from every deck, feed, search and suggestion — both directions, immediately. Existing buddy edges and pending requests are torn down at the same time, so a block is not something they can undo by re-requesting.
Verified-only reporting
Only verified members can file a report, which makes coordinated false reporting impractical. Reports carry a reason and optional notes, and can be filed as report-and-block or as a silent hide. Three upheld reports auto-suspends the account.
Content-free audit trail
Session metadata — who opened a chat, when, from which IP — is retained as Indian CERT-In directions require. Message content is explicitly not part of that record.
Meeting in person
Verification handles identity.
It cannot handle judgement.
A short list that genuinely reduces risk.
Public place, daylight, first time
A café at 5pm beats a drive at 11pm. Somewhere with staff, other people and an easy exit.
Tell one person where you are
Name, venue, time, and when you expect to be home. Share your live location with them for the duration.
Arrange your own transport
Both ways. Never let someone you have just met choose how or when you get home.
Never send money
No loans, no investments, no emergencies, no crypto. A genuine person will not ask. Report anyone who does.
Watch your own drink
Order it yourself, keep it with you, and leave it if you lose sight of it. No apology needed.
Leave the moment it feels off
You owe nobody an explanation, a full drink or a polite goodbye. Block, then report from the app.
In an emergency in India, call 112. For women's helpline, call 1091. Report the member to us afterwards at crew@qbcle.space — safety reports are prioritised above everything else.
Safety questions
Can my manager or colleagues find me?
Only if you allow it, and there are four independent controls. Colleague exclusion is symmetric. Hide Organisation removes your employer name while keeping your badge. Boss Mode on Premium makes you visible only to people you have already liked. Keep-Away reduces your profile to a name and mascot for anyone not already connected to you.
Are anonymous Q-Chat messages stored?
No. Bodies never touch our database. When either person ends the chat, the log is destroyed for both. The trade-off is real and worth knowing: we cannot produce a transcript for you either, including for a report. Report while the session is open, or capture your own evidence first.
What exactly happens when I block someone?
They disappear from every deck, feed, search and suggestion in both directions, immediately. Any existing buddy connection and any pending request between you is deleted at the same time, so they cannot re-request their way back into your view.
Could someone get my account suspended with false reports?
It is impractical. Only verified members can report, so an attacker would need multiple real, verified corporate accounts. Three upheld reports auto-suspend an account pending review, and you can appeal within 30 days at crew@qbcle.space. A mistaken removal is restored.
Do you share my data with my employer or the police?
Never with your employer — there is no mechanism for it and no commercial arrangement can create one. With law enforcement, only in response to a valid legal order, or where necessary to prevent imminent harm to life. See the privacy policy.
