How can I Block People I Know?

Want to try to avoid seeing someone on OtterHalf? With Block List, you can do just that. Manually add contact information for people you want to block, and we'll do our best to prevent you from seeing each other.

Important Notes About this Feature:

  • Blocked contacts won't be notified that you blocked them
  • Blocking someone doesn't mean they have a OtterHalf account
  • Blocking contacts won't affect your existing matches or messages
  • If the contact information you use to block someone doesn't match the info they used to sign up, we won't be able to stop you from seeing each other
  • You can remove contacts from your block list at any time

How Does OtterHalf Use My Block List Information?

When you add someone to your block list, we store only the contact information you provide (name, email, and/or phone number). We use this information to help prevent you from seeing your blocked contacts and from them seeing you (assuming they created an account with the same contact information you provided).

We understand that your personal information and privacy are important to you, and we want you to know they're important to us, too. Please refer to our Privacy Policy for more information about our privacy practices.
