Safety at BerryCam
BerryCam is built for real, one-on-one video chat between adults. This page explains the checks we run, how moderation and reporting work, and the simple steps you can take to stay safe.
If you ever feel unsafe in a chat, leave the room immediately and use the in-app report button. Reports go to a real human, not a queue that sits for days.
1. Our Commitment to Safety
BerryCam pairs you with one other person at a time for a face-to-face video chat. Because the experience is live and personal, safety is not an afterthought — it is built into how accounts are created, how rooms are monitored, and how problems are handled. We rely on three things working together:
- Verification — every account passes a live photo check before it can chat.
- Human moderation — reported rooms are reviewed by real people, not just automated filters.
- Your control — you can leave, block, or report at any moment, and clear rules apply to everyone.
2. Account Verification
Before an account can appear in matching, it has to pass a live photo check. The system captures a real-time photo and compares it against the account's profile picture. It is designed to reject pre-saved images, recorded loops, and obvious face-swaps, and it can re-run on a random schedule so an account cannot clear the check once and then hand the camera to someone else.
This friction is intentional. A meaningful share of fake and throwaway accounts never get past this step — that is the point. Fewer of them means the person on the other side of the camera is more likely to be exactly who their profile says they are.
3. Moderation & Reporting
Every chat happens under our Community Guidelines. When someone breaks them, you do not have to put up with it:
- Report — use the report button in any room. A real human reviews reported rooms, typically within minutes rather than days.
- Block — blocking a user stops them from being matched with you again.
- Leave — you can end any chat and move to the next person instantly. You are never locked into a conversation.
Depending on severity, violations can lead to a warning, a temporary suspension, or a permanent ban. Serious or repeated abuse is removed without warning.
4. Your Privacy & Data
You control how much you share. You do not need to publish a profile or personal details to start a chat, and what you choose to reveal in a conversation is up to you. For the full picture of what we collect, how it is used, and the choices you have, read our Privacy Policy.
As a rule of thumb: keep personal contact details, financial information, and anything you would not want a stranger to keep out of a chat with someone you have just met.
5. Safety Tips for Video Chat
A few habits go a long way when you are meeting new people on camera:
- Guard personal information. Don't share your full name, address, workplace, or financial details with someone you just met.
- Never send money. Anyone who asks you for money, gift cards, or crypto early in a conversation is a red flag — report and block them.
- Trust your instincts. If a chat feels off, you do not owe anyone an explanation. Leave the room.
- Mind your background. Be aware of what your camera shows — mail, documents, or anything that reveals where you live.
- Use in-app tools. Keep conversations on the platform so the report and block tools can protect you.
6. Protecting Minors
BerryCam is intended for adults. Accounts belonging to minors, and any content that involves or sexualizes minors, are strictly prohibited and removed, and we cooperate with the authorities where required by law. If you believe a minor is using the platform or you encounter content involving a minor, report it immediately using the in-app tools or the contact below. See our Community Guidelines for the full content rules.
7. Report a Problem
The fastest way to flag something is the in-app report button — it routes straight to our moderation team. For anything that needs more detail, or to reach us about a safety concern, contact:
