Safety & privacy — the most important page on this site
You decide if you want to be approached.
No marketing, only concrete mechanisms — rules of the product, not vague promises. Each one has its own link: copy the URL to share it directly.
Three situations, in any room
This is the whole thing, and it answers the question people ask first: what about everyone who doesn't have the app?
- No app
You don't know. Approaching is at the approacher's own risk — as it has always been. Gevun takes away no one's right to say hello, and forbids nothing.
- Available
The green bracelet. It's OK to approach me — that's the only thing it means, and it's the person's own choice, revocable in one gesture.
- Me time
The red bracelet. Not right now, with or without a time on it. Always free, always shown first and full size, in every version of the app.
And Invisible? It looks exactly like not having the app. Nobody can tell the difference — which is the point.
Reciprocity comes first
-
You only see the bracelets if you wear one #
Looking requires being visible yourself. There are no spectators on Gevun: someone who shows nothing sees nothing.
-
Invisible is truly invisible #
Being Invisible on Gevun is indistinguishable from not having Gevun at all. Nobody can tell the two apart — not the app, not the people around you.
-
Only the room you're in #
The list is built from where you actually are, within eyesight, and rebuilt each time you open the app. No browsing another place, no history, ever.
The signal is yours
-
You turn it on #
Nothing is broadcast until you choose a status yourself. No default, no automatic activation.
-
Instant off #
The moment you change your status, it changes for everyone, immediately. No trace of the previous one remains visible to anyone.
-
Off is retroactive #
If you were off at a given moment, nobody can find you again from that moment — not even afterwards. Off means off, including in the past.
-
Never a relationship status #
Gevun is for meeting people — romance included, friendship included. Green doesn't mean single, red doesn't mean taken, and being on the app doesn't mean looking for love. Nobody can read your relationships from it, and nobody can demand you wear red as proof of anything.
-
Me time, for an hour or for good #
Red can carry a duration shown in plain words, or none at all. It is never a rejection of other people: it is a yes to yourself, declared in advance so nobody has to guess.
-
Never asked where you are #
Your status is a personal setting, not a place. Gevun never asks you to pick zones, name places, or describe where you are.
No means no
-
A no is final #
Once you've said no to someone, that person can never be put in front of you again. It doesn't come back.
-
A no is invisible #
The other person never knows whether you said no or simply never saw anything. Nothing tells the two apart on their end.
-
No pressure #
No notification, no follow-up ever pushes you to reconsider a no.
-
One person only #
Finding someone again after a missed moment only ever happens with that person's explicit consent — and it can only ever reach one single person. Never a broadcast.
No one contacts you remotely
-
No chat #
Gevun allows no written exchange, ever. Nothing to answer, nothing to ignore.
-
No profile to browse #
No profiles, no bios, no swiping, no catalogue to flip through from elsewhere. The room is live and within eyesight — there is nothing to browse from a couch across town.
-
No name, no age, no bio #
The app shows a photo and a signal. Nothing else — not even a first name. Names are exchanged in person, if you feel like it.
-
The approach happens in real life #
Gevun only ever shows that approaching is OK. The approach itself happens in person, on the spot — never online.
Human-verified, zero AI
-
Camera only #
The verification photo is taken live. It can't be uploaded from a gallery or another app.
-
No AI in the product #
Zero facial recognition, zero automated recommendation, zero machine deciding who sees whom — at any step.
-
Your photo only exists in the room #
It is shown live, only to people wearing a bracelet within eyesight of you. It can't be looked up from afar, it is never stored in any list, and there is no history: leave the room, and you were never in it.
Safety is never behind the paywall
-
Red is always free, always large #
Whoever does not want to be approached is shown first, full size, in every version of the app. Safety information is never a paid feature.
-
Uncertainty is never sold #
No version, free or paid, ever shows someone whose status is unclear. Certainty about consent is the product — it can't be a premium tier.
-
You always see who, in full #
When someone is about to approach you, you see them in full quality — free, whatever plan either of you is on. Knowing who is coming is never a paid feature.
Zero resale, zero targeting
