Plan confidently. Stay in control.
Technology can support safer introductions, but no verification replaces good judgment. Use these practices before, during, and after every experience.
Effective July 28, 2026
Before meeting
- Keep booking details and communication inside Aether.
- Review verification indicators, profile details, availability, and the full price.
- Choose a public, lawful venue for an initial meeting and arrange your own transportation.
- Tell a trusted person where you are going, who you are meeting, and when you expect to return.
- Do not send money, gift cards, cryptocurrency, deposits, or banking information outside Aether.
During an experience
- Trust your instincts and leave whenever you feel uncomfortable.
- Consent must be ongoing and may be withdrawn at any time.
- Keep control of your phone, identification, transportation, drinks, medication, and belongings.
- Do not change to a private location because of pressure or a promised payment.
Hourly companion check-ins
- A companion may voluntarily start protection from an accepted booking, choose a private six-digit PIN, and share their current device location for that session.
- Aether issues a PIN reminder each hour. If the PIN is not confirmed within ten minutes, Aether attempts a safety call to the companion’s saved mobile number.
- If the companion does not confirm the call, Aether sends the consenting emergency contact the companion’s last shared location, the member’s display name, and the booking context.
- The safety PIN is stored only as a one-way protected value. Exact location is not shown to the member or published on a profile.
- The companion may safely end protection with the PIN. Routine location data is cleared when the session ends and limited retention applies after an escalation.
Reporting and blocking
Block prevents new discovery, booking, and messaging interactions between accounts. Report sends relevant context to Aether’s moderation queue. Existing booking records may remain visible so that support can review a concern.
If there is immediate danger or a crime in progress, leave the situation if you can and contact local emergency services. Aether support is not an emergency service.
Verification
Verification is intended to confirm identity and age signals; it is not a background check, endorsement, or guarantee of conduct. Verification documents are handled by the identity provider and should never be sent through Aether messages.
Important limits
Hourly check-ins depend on device location, internet access, phone networks, provider availability, accurate contact information, and the companion responding. They are a supplemental safety tool—not monitoring, a guarantee, or a substitute for calling local emergency services.
Payment safety
Only the total shown in Aether checkout is authorized. Never pay for prohibited activity, accept a request to disguise a payment, or move a transaction off-platform. Report unexpected charges or payout instructions immediately.
