# How Luca keeps your accounts safe

The first question every coach asks us is 'will this get me banned?' Fair question. The straight answer: no, because Luca behaves like you, not like a bot.

## How Luca stays under every radar

Luca replies at a human pace, pauses between messages, takes breaks the way a person does, and keeps daily volume inside what a real coach would send. Platforms flag accounts that behave like machines; Luca's whole approach is to behave like you on a productive day.

## The Instagram warm-up

Every new Instagram connection starts with a warm-up of at least 7 days (longer for newer or fast-scaling accounts): you approve every single reply before it sends, and no automation runs at all. Your account's behavior stays natural while Luca learns your voice. Then you decide what, if anything, to automate.

## You approve every send

Auto-send is off by default, on every plan, on every channel. A reply only leaves without your tap if you explicitly turned auto-send on for that channel, and one tap turns it back off.

## What Luca never does

- Send a message to someone who didn't contact you first
- Blast the same message to many people at once
- Buy, scrape, or import contact lists
- Send faster or more often than a real person would
- Turn on auto-send without you choosing it

## If a platform changes the rules

Platform policies shift. When they do, we adjust Luca's pacing, volume, and message types centrally, and every coach's account inherits the change the same day, before it matters. Watching platform policy is our full-time job so it doesn't have to be yours.

## FAQ

### Will Instagram ban my account for using Luca?

No, and protecting your account is half the product. Luca replies at a human pace, takes breaks like a person, and never sends more messages than a real coach would. To Instagram, your account looks like a coach answering DMs, because that's what's happening.

### Does Luca cold-DM people or buy contact lists?

Never. Luca only replies to people who reached out to you first: a DM, a story reply, a comment on your post. No cold outreach, no scraped followers, no imported lists.

### What happens in the first 7 days on Instagram?

A warm-up. After you connect an Instagram account, you approve every single reply before it sends, with no automation of any kind, for at least 7 days (longer for newer or fast-scaling accounts). It keeps your account's behavior natural while Luca learns your voice.

### What if a platform changes its rules?

We adjust how Luca behaves centrally (pacing, volume, message types) and every account inherits the change the same day. You don't have to follow platform policy news; that's our job.
