Safety and Security

At Connect&, we believe meaningful connection begins with trust, respect, and personal choice.

While our cards and facilitation experiences encourage conversation and storytelling, we encourage all participants to share only what feels comfortable for them. No one should ever feel pressured to disclose personal, sensitive, financial, medical, or identifying information during a game, event, or online interaction.

For your safety, we recommend that participants avoid sharing:

  • Home addresses

  • Phone numbers

  • Financial information

  • Passwords or account credentials

  • Government identification numbers

  • Detailed medical information

  • Any information that could compromise your privacy or security

Everyone has the right to pass on a question, change the topic, or set personal boundaries at any time.

When participating in Connect& events, online communities, or facilitated conversations, we ask that all members treat one another with kindness, respect, and consideration. Stories shared within our community should be honored with care and confidentiality whenever possible.

Our goal is to create spaces where people can connect authentically while maintaining control over their own personal information and comfort levels.

If you ever feel unsafe, uncomfortable, or believe community guidelines have been violated, please contact our team so we can address the concern appropriately.

Thank you for helping us create a community built on trust, curiosity, and respect.
