How we keep B Anon safe — without compromising your privacy.
Built-in Protection
Safety and privacy aren't at odds — we've designed B Anon so you get both. Here's how we protect you without ever needing to know who you are.
End-to-End Encryption
Every message, photo, voice note, and video is encrypted so only you and your chat partner can read it. Not even our team can access your conversations.
Auto-Delete Messages
Messages are permanently deleted from our servers after delivery. We don't keep copies, create backups, or archive anything.
Screenshot Protection
Built-in screenshot protection adds an extra layer of security to your private conversations.
Complete Anonymity
No name, no phone number, no email required. Your identity is tied only to your device — invisible to other users and to us.
Age Restriction Policy
B Anon is strictly for users aged 18 and above. This is not optional — it's a hard requirement enforced at every level of our platform.
How We Enforce the 18+ Requirement
- Users must confirm they are 18+ before accessing the app
- Age-gating is enforced at first launch and cannot be bypassed
- The app is listed as 18+ / Mature on both the App Store and Google Play
- Any user found to be under 18 is immediately and permanently banned
- All data associated with underage accounts is deleted upon discovery
- Users who encounter someone they believe is a minor should report them immediately
We take underage access extremely seriously. If you suspect someone on B Anon is under 18, please report them using the in-app report button or email support@banon.app.
Community Rules
B Anon is built for real, respectful, anonymous conversations. These rules exist to keep the platform safe for everyone. Violating any of these rules may result in a permanent ban.
Be Respectful
Treat every user the way you'd want to be treated. No harassment, bullying, hate speech, or personal attacks. Disagreements are fine — abuse is not.
Keep It Legal
Don't use B Anon for anything illegal — no drug deals, fraud, scams, threats, or solicitation. We cooperate with law enforcement when required.
No Explicit Media
Nudity, pornography, and sexually explicit images or videos are strictly prohibited. This applies to all media types — photos, videos, and voice messages.
Protect Others' Privacy
Never share someone else's personal information (doxxing). Don't share screenshots of private conversations. Respect the anonymity of other users.
No Spam or Bots
Automated messaging, mass outreach, promotional spam, and bot accounts are not allowed. B Anon is for real human conversations only.
No Impersonation
Don't pretend to be someone you're not — especially B Anon staff, law enforcement, or public figures. Be yourself (anonymously).
For the full legal version of these rules, see our Terms of Use and Community Guidelines.
How to Report Abuse
If someone makes you feel unsafe, you can take action immediately. Reporting is anonymous — the other user will never know you reported them.
Step-by-Step: Reporting a User
- Step 1: Open the chat with the user you want to report
- Step 2: Tap the menu icon (three dots) in the top-right corner
- Step 3: Tap "Report User"
- Step 4: Select a reason (harassment, spam, underage user, explicit content, threats, other)
- Step 5: Optionally add details to help our team investigate
- Step 6: Submit — our moderation team will review within 24 hours
You can also block a user instantly from the same menu. Blocking is immediate — the blocked user can no longer message you or find you on the platform.
For urgent safety concerns (threats of violence, child exploitation, imminent danger), email support@banon.app with the subject line "URGENT SAFETY" for priority review.
Content Moderation Explained
Because B Anon uses end-to-end encryption, we cannot read, scan, or monitor your messages. This is a deliberate design choice — your privacy is non-negotiable. But that doesn't mean we ignore safety.
Here's how our moderation system works:
User Reports
Our primary moderation signal. When you report a user, our trust & safety team reviews the report and takes action — from warnings to permanent bans.
Behavioral Signals
We analyze metadata patterns (not message content) like rapid messaging, mass contact attempts, and report frequency to detect abusive behavior proactively.
Automated Detection
Automated systems flag suspicious activity patterns — like accounts that get reported by multiple users in a short time — for immediate human review.
Human Review
Every report is reviewed by a real person on our trust & safety team. We don't rely solely on automated systems for moderation decisions.
Moderation Actions
Depending on the severity of the violation, we may take one or more of the following actions:
Enforcement Ladder
- Warning — first-time minor violations may receive a warning
- Temporary Restriction — repeat offenders may lose access to certain features temporarily
- Permanent Device Ban — serious or repeat violations result in a permanent ban tied to your device
- Law Enforcement Referral — criminal activity (CSAM, threats of violence, terrorism) is reported to authorities immediately
Zero Tolerance Policies
Some violations are so serious that there is no warning, no second chance. The following result in an immediate permanent ban and potential referral to law enforcement:
Immediate Ban & Potential Legal Action
- Child sexual abuse material (CSAM) or any exploitation of minors
- Terrorism-related content or promotion of violence
- Threats of serious harm or incitement to violence
- Doxxing or sharing others' private information
- Nudity, explicit sexual content, or pornography
- Harassment, hate speech, or targeted bullying
- Scams, fraud, phishing, or other illegal activities
- Spam, bots, or automated messaging
- Underage users (under 18)
Violations result in a permanent device-level ban. For the full legal details, see our Terms of Use.
Safety Guidelines
Anonymity gives you freedom — but it also means you need to take care of yourself. Here are our recommendations for staying safe on B Anon.
Protect Your Identity
- Never share personal information — no real name, address, phone number, social media handles, or workplace details
- Don't share photos of yourself — even if someone asks, your anonymity is your best protection
- Avoid location-revealing details — don't mention your school, office, or neighborhood by name
- Use a unique display name — don't reuse usernames from other platforms
Stay Alert
- Don't click suspicious links — if someone sends you a URL, be extremely cautious. It could be a phishing attempt
- Trust your instincts — if a conversation feels off, uncomfortable, or threatening, block and report immediately
- Don't send money — never send money, gift cards, or financial information to anyone on the platform
- Be skeptical of sob stories — scammers often use emotional manipulation to gain trust
Secure Your Device
- Keep your device secure — use a strong lock screen, enable biometric authentication, and keep your OS up to date
- Link your Google account — so you can recover your B Anon account if you lose or change your phone
- Don't use modified apps — only download B Anon from the official App Store or Google Play. Sideloaded versions may compromise your security
Real-World Safety
- Never agree to meet someone in person — B Anon is designed for anonymous online chatting, not arranging meetups
- Don't share your location — even if someone asks to meet or claims to be nearby
- If you feel threatened — block and report in the app, and contact local law enforcement if you believe you are in danger
