Support
Find answers, report an issue, or write to us directly. Safety comes first in the queue, and a person reads everything that arrives.
Contact us
We are a small team in Kerala, working India hours. Every message is read by a person and answered by email.
Safety reports go to the front of the queue — put “Safety” in the subject line and we will see it first.
Child Safety (CSAE)
- In-app: in a chat tap ••• → Report user, or tap Report on the profile, and choose Underage suspicion. Reporting also blocks that person for you straight away.
- Email the Child Safety POC: contact@othiri.com (include username, screenshots, timestamps if possible).
- Emergency: If you are in immediate danger, contact local authorities first.
Handling: We remove CSAE content/accounts, may preserve relevant data where required by law, and cooperate with lawful requests from authorities. See Child Safety Standards (CSAE).
Account & profile
- Edit profile: Update photos, bio, and interests from the profile screen.
- Age requirement: Othiri is 18+ only. Accounts in violation may be removed.
- Login issues: Ensure stable internet and the latest app version, then retry.
- Delete account: Settings → Account → Manage account → Account control → Delete Account, or from othiri.com/delete-account. This CLOSES the account rather than wiping it — the page explains exactly what is removed and what we keep. Cancel a Google Play subscription separately; deleting does not stop billing.
Safety & reporting
- Report: Open the profile or chat → tap Report → choose a reason. The list is: fake profile or catfish, harassment or hate, scam or solicitation, inappropriate content, underage suspicion, and other. Add context if you can.
- Block:Instant, and it works both ways — neither of you can see or message the other afterwards, and you drop out of each other’s feeds.
- Emergency: If you feel unsafe, contact local authorities first.
Moderation approach: every photo is reviewed by a person before it is shown to anyone, and written content is checked automatically as it is submitted. Nothing automated removes an account — a person decides, and the outcome can be a warning, a restriction, or removal.
Billing & refunds (Google Play)
- Cancel subscription: Play Store → Profile → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions → Othiri.
- Request refund: Play Store → Profile → Payments & subscriptions → Budget & history → select purchase → Request refund.
- Device changes: Sign in with the same Google account to restore entitlements.
Note: We don’t store full payment card details. Billing is handled by Google Play.
Data & privacy requests
- Access / export data: Email contact@othiri.com.
- Delete data: Use “Delete account” in Settings or email us with subject “Data Deletion – Othiri”.
- Corrections: Update profile info in-app; contact us for anything else.

FAQs
Why can’t I see matches nearby?
Enable location permissions for Othiri and check your distance preferences.
I reported a user—what happens now?
A person reads it and decides what happens — a warning, a restriction, or removing the account. Nothing is automatic. The person you reported is blocked for you the moment you report them.
How do I get a refund?
Refunds are handled by Google Play. Open the Play Store → Payments & subscriptions → Budget & history → select your purchase → Request refund.
