Chatingar is exclusively for users who are 18 years of age or older. It is strictly prohibited for individuals under 18 to use our site.
Be cautious of any messages or links sent to you. Avoid clicking on suspicious links or sharing personal information with unknown users.

Your safety is our priority. We strongly advise against meeting anyone in person whom you have met online through Chatingar. Even if you believe someone is trustworthy, it is impossible to guarantee their true identity. Always inform your parents or guardians before making decisions about meeting people from the internet, and ensure they accompany you in a public setting. Beware of false promises, such as individuals claiming to be model agents or offering rewards for photos or meetings.
