Safety Tips and Guidelines

Safety is a shared responsibility.

Introduction

We verify every profile through selfie verification, display a verified image on the profile, and help users discover compatible matches. Other information is not verified, so we strongly encourage you to exercise caution and validate details before making decisions.

You're in Control

  • Who you communicate with and what you discuss
  • What information you share and what you commit to
  • When and where you meet
  • When to disengage

Stay Safe

  • Take responsibility for your safety. Report or block users if you feel unsafe or uncomfortable.
  • Protect your accounts and do not share your account credentials.
  • Exercise due diligence in getting to know an individual before making any commitments.
  • Take sufficient time to get to know someone and avoid rushed decisions.
  • Always meet in a safe, public place and inform a trusted friend or family member.
  • Do not disclose sensitive information prematurely, as it may affect your privacy or safety.
  • Stop communication and report any suspicious or inappropriate behavior immediately.
  • Don't hesitate to seek help if someone crosses boundaries online.
  • Report online harassment, threats, or cyber abuse, and seek support from trusted people or professionals.

Healthy Connections

  • Healthy relationships are built on mutual respect, trust, and open communication.
  • Consent and boundaries must be clear, mutual, respected, and can be withdrawn at any time.
  • All communication must be voluntary, respectful, and transparent.

Watch Out for Red Flags

  • Pressuring you to move too quickly, emotionally or physically.
  • Displaying controlling behavior or making disrespectful remarks.
  • Pressuring you to share personal information, photos, or details you are not comfortable sharing.
  • Demonstrating inconsistencies between words and actions, or avoiding genuine answers.
  • Requesting money or favors.

Online Safety & Scams

  • Be cautious of users who quickly express intense feelings or create emotional urgency.
  • Protect financial details, avoid rushed decisions, and never share money.
  • Avoid requests for any personal favors or money, and remain alert for scams.
  • Be wary of users who refuse meetings, video calls, or ask you to keep secrets.
  • Protect personal and account details, and report cyberviolence or suspicious activity.
