01Microphone and participation
Voice is a Quest-app feature where available, not a requirement to browse the website. Join with a valid account and follow the room’s eligibility and platform rules. Microphone permission is separate from accepting this policy. Entry is muted; use the controls to enable transmission. Listening and microphone mute are independent: muting incoming audio does not necessarily mute your microphone.
02Background calls and leaving
Switching to another app, hiding the SAFFER window or opening a picker can leave the call active. Check the call indicator, mute or explicitly leave when finished. Background availability depends on OS microphone and audio-focus restrictions. Explicitly leaving ends your participation; abrupt network or power loss can delay server confirmation until cleanup. For ordinary user-owned rooms, an eligible connected cohost may inherit ownership; otherwise the room closes under its lifecycle rules. Official rooms may remain available after participants leave.
03Live transmission and local voice tests
LiveKit-based transport delivers your transmitted audio to permitted participants. The room feature has no routine server-side conversation recording. The separate voice-effects test records a short microphone sample locally in memory for playback and clears it after playback or cancellation; it is not an upload to the room. Speech-level indicators are temporary processing. Neither transport encryption nor microphone permission guarantees confidentiality from participants or their recording tools.
04Consent to record or broadcast others
Do not record, stream, publish or redistribute another person’s voice or private discussion without the required permission and lawful basis. Merely entering a room is not consent to recording. An authorized report with necessary user-submitted evidence is a different process from continuous monitoring. Do not fabricate voice evidence or use effects to impersonate someone deceptively.
05Conduct and sensitive information
No bullying, hate, threats, grooming, sexual exploitation, scams, deliberate audio disruption or exposure of private information. Follow room rules only where consistent with SAFFER’s rules. Do not request identity documents, passwords, one-time codes or private addresses from participants. Stop unwanted contact and respect a participant’s refusal to engage.
06Hosts, controls and reporting
Hosts/cohosts can only use moderation actions granted to their role. Use local mute, block, leave and the available Report action to protect yourself; a local mute does not remove someone for everyone. Report necessary room/time/user details through SAFFER Support or the Meta reporting service where enabled. Do not repeatedly publish harmful evidence. Staff may review limited report data under the Moderation Policy.
