Safety & privacy
How anonymous messaging works
A plain-language look at how anonymous messaging works — and how ICL handles anonymity, safety and moderation.
What anonymous messaging is
Anonymous messaging lets someone send a message without their public name attached. Question-link apps like ICL use it to collect honest answers: you post a link, and responses come to your inbox without the sender's public name attached. ICL Pro may also show technical sender hints; these do not verify identity, and combined hints could feel identifying in a small audience. See the Privacy Policy for details.
How ICL keeps it safe
Anonymity in ICL applies to other people, not to the safety systems. Rate limits, filters and moderation still apply, and abuse can still be acted on.
How to stay safe
Keep questions kind. Report anything harmful. Never ask for — or share — personal information through anonymous links.
Anonymity has limits
No anonymous service can promise absolute privacy. Treat anonymous messages the way you would treat any message: think before you engage, and report abuse.
