“Sextortion” is the act of sexual extortion, a crime used by online scammers, mainly to obtain money through threats.

To avoid this, never share your personal data with anyone you don't fully trust— especially your WhatsApp and face photos, which can make it easier to identify you on other social networks like Instagram or Facebook.

❓ How Does It Work?

With your personal information, a scammer can figure out who you are and threaten to expose your Ysos profile content—revealing your identity to family, friends, or even your workplace.

If you’re worried about being identified outside Ysos, establish your own safety rules to keep your anonymity and make it harder for others to access your personal data.

🔐 Increasing Your Safety

Use a secondary WhatsApp: Don’t share your personal number with people you’ve just met. Having a WhatsApp dedicated to your Ysos contacts is a good way to avoid data leaks.

Keep your anonymity: Don’t post or share face photos with strangers if you don’t want to be recognized outside the app. Only show your face if you’re 100% sure that being identified won’t be a problem for you.

Don’t share contact details: Our team works daily to prevent phone numbers, emails, or links to other social networks from being posted on Ysos. Sharing your phone number in a liberal dating app can lead to unwanted contacts.

Get to know people on the app: It can be tempting to move to personal social networks, but take your time! Build trust inside Ysos before taking someone to your real life.

Keep your private and liberal lives separate: If you’re discreet and don’t want your private life to mix with your liberal side, never share personal social networks with Ysos contacts. Giving your real profile to someone you barely know can put your safety at risk.

🚨 Report It!

Sextortion is a serious crime, and Ysos does not tolerate this type of behavior.

If you’re a victim, report the profile in the app and don’t hesitate to seek help from law enforcement.

We comply with the Brazilian Internet Civil Rights Framework (Marco Civil da Internet), keeping access records and registration data in our database for at least six months. This information is available for police investigations if needed.
