Frequently Asked Questions

No account is required. You can start chatting immediately without any registration. We believe in making spontaneous connections accessible to everyone.

When you click "Start Chatting," our system pairs you with a random user who is also online and looking to chat. The matching is completely random – you might meet someone from your city or from the other side of the world. If you don't click with someone, simply click "Next" to connect with a new person.

Yes. Video chats are peer-to-peer and not recorded. We do not store or transmit your video streams to our servers. However, we cannot control what the other person does, so be cautious about what you share. You can disable video and use audio-only or text mode if you prefer.

We have several safety measures in place: automated moderation, user reporting tools, and a ban system for violators. For your own safety, never share personal information (address, phone, financial details), use a nickname instead of your real name, and disconnect immediately if someone makes you uncomfortable. Trust your instincts.

Absolutely! Adelaide Dating works on any device with a modern web browser – desktop, laptop, tablet, or smartphone. Our responsive design ensures a great experience on all screen sizes. For the best video quality, use a device with a camera and microphone.

Click the "Next" button to immediately disconnect and move to a new conversation. Then use the "Report" button to flag the user. Our moderation team reviews reports promptly. For severe violations, you can also contact us directly.

No. We do not record or store video or audio conversations. Chats are private between participants. We only collect metadata for moderation purposes (such as reports filed). Your privacy is fundamental to our service.

Bans typically result from violating our Terms of Service or Community Guidelines – for example, harassment, inappropriate content, spamming, or fraud. If you believe your ban was a mistake, you can appeal by providing your IP address and explaining your situation. We review appeals carefully.

Adelaide Dating is built on random connections – that's part of the fun! However, we do offer basic filters like language preference and interest tags that can help you find like-minded people. But you cannot choose specific individuals; that would defeat the purpose of spontaneous meeting.

Since we don't store personal data (no accounts, no chat logs), there's nothing to delete. Your IP address and usage data are automatically purged after 30 days for security and analytics, after which they are irreversibly removed.
