# Terms of use

Last updated November 15, 2026

By using Behind the Thicket you agree to these terms.

## Who can join

You must be 18 or older and single. You must use your own real photo and first name.

## How to behave

- Treat other players with respect. No harassment, threats, hate or unwanted sexual content.
- Don't pretend to be someone else, and don't use another person's photo.
- Don't leave Drops with content that is illegal, hateful or invasive of someone's privacy.
- Only place Drops in public places where it is safe and lawful to stand.

## Meeting in person

Behind the Thicket helps people meet face to face, and we can't check who anyone is. Meet in a public place, tell a friend where you are going, and leave if you feel uncomfortable. You are responsible for your own safety.

## Reports, blocking and suspension

You can block or report a match at any time. We may pause or remove a profile that breaks these terms, or that we believe puts others at risk.

## Your content

Your photo, bio and Drops stay yours. You allow us to show them to other players as the app is designed to do.

## Paid features

Premium Drops, Clearings access and Drop packs are not on sale yet. We will state prices before you pay.

## The service

The app is provided as it is, and we can't promise it will always be available or that you will find a match. We may change or stop features.
