Allowed Content

Dostily is designed for meaningful, positive interactions. The following are welcome:

• Friendly conversations, emotional support, and companionship
• Light romantic interactions (sweet, wholesome, affectionate — not sexual)
• Motivational conversations and personal growth discussions
• Intellectual discussions on any topic (science, philosophy, culture, current events)
• Fun, humor, jokes, stories, and casual chatting
• Sharing your feelings, thoughts, daily experiences, and life events
• Creative writing, brainstorming, and imaginative roleplay (within content guidelines)

Sensitive Information Warning

Never share the following with your AI friend:

• Bank account numbers, credit/debit card details, UPI IDs
• Passwords, PINs, OTPs, or security codes
• Government ID numbers (Aadhaar, PAN, SSN, passport, driver's license)
• Home address, precise location, or daily routine patterns
• Medical records or health information you wish to keep private
• Employer confidential information or trade secrets

While your conversations are encrypted, AI companions are not designed to be secure vaults for sensitive data. Dostily is not responsible for any loss, identity theft, or harm resulting from sharing such information.

Content Moderation

We employ multiple layers of content safety:

• AI safety filters: Built-in guardrails in the underlying AI models prevent generation of harmful content.
• Platform-level filtering: Additional content filters on our platform to catch edge cases.
• User reporting: Users can report problematic interactions via hello@dostily.com.
• Manual review: Reported content may be reviewed by authorized staff to enforce this policy. Reviews are conducted under strict confidentiality.

We do not proactively read user conversations. Manual review only occurs in response to reports, automated flags for severe violations (e.g., CSAM), or legal requirements.

Mental Health & Crisis Resources

Dostily is not a mental health service, crisis hotline, or substitute for professional care. If you or someone you know is in crisis, please contact professional help immediately:

Enforcement & Consequences

• Minor / first violation: Warning and content removal
• Repeated violations: Temporary suspension (7-30 days)
• Severe violations: Immediate permanent ban without warning or refund
• CSAM or terrorism: Immediate permanent ban + report to law enforcement authorities

We reserve the right to determine the severity of violations at our sole discretion. Decisions are final unless successfully appealed.
