Protections built into BelleTime bookings.

Private customer contact

Customers verify one email with BelleTime. You never receive their raw email address.

You decide

Choose manual approval to review each request, or automatic confirmation within the times you open. You can decline, and consent can be withdrawn at any time.

Verified individuals only

Every provider passes identity, age and person-match checks before publication. Agencies and bulk listings are not accepted.

Clear payment boundaries

Customers pay BelleTime’s A$19 booking fee only when a booking is confirmed. Your full service price is paid directly to you at the appointment.

01 · Account security

Protect the email that protects BelleTime

Your email account is a recovery path for many services. Secure it before an unexpected login becomes a wider privacy problem.

• Turn on a passkey or multi-factor authentication for your email and other important accounts.
• Use a strong, unique password wherever a passkey is not available, and keep recovery details current.
• Never share a BelleTime or email sign-in code, including with someone claiming to be support staff.
• Review unfamiliar logins and sign out of all sessions if you suspect an account has been accessed.

02 · Scams and impersonation

Stop when a message creates pressure

Urgency, threats, unusual payment requests and requests for private information are reasons to pause and verify independently.

• Do not click a link or open an attachment in an unexpected message.
• Find the organisation's contact details yourself through its official website or app.
• Do not send money, identity documents, passwords or one-time codes while you are unsure who is contacting you.
• If money or information was shared, act quickly: contact your bank where relevant and report the scam to Scamwatch.

03 · Privacy and location

Check what a photo or profile reveals

Small details can connect a display identity to a location or private account. Review the whole image and its settings before sharing.

• Check backgrounds for street signs, reflections, landmarks, mail, uniforms or other identifying details.
• Turn off geotagging and check whether a photo or video still contains location or device metadata.
• Limit who can find, tag or message you, and avoid posting your current location or routine.
• Search your display name and public contact details periodically to see what can be connected to them.

04 · Online abuse and evidence

Preserve useful evidence before it disappears

If it is safe to do so, capture the details needed to show what happened before content is deleted or an account is blocked.

• Save the service name, profile or username, page address, date, time and relevant screenshots.
• Record repeated unwanted contact as a pattern, because one message may not show the full context.
• Store evidence somewhere safe and avoid repeatedly viewing distressing material.
• Report harmful content to the service first; eSafety explains when serious adult cyber abuse can also be reported to it.
