Teen safety & minors

πŸ›‘οΈ Our commitment to teen safety

Fritzi takes the safety of young users extremely seriously. We operate a strict separation between teen accounts (ages 16–17) and adult accounts (18+). Teen content is never visible to adults, and adult content is never visible to teens.

The minimum age to use Fritzi is 16 years old. We verify age during signup using date of birth and reject any user under 16.

If you believe a minor under 16 has created an account, please contact us immediately at safety@fritzi.app and we will remove the account promptly.
