Our Community Standards
These principles guide every interaction, from your first message to any in-person meeting. They're the foundation for respectful, secure connections.
- Consent is non-negotiable. Proceed only with clear, mutual interest. Uncertainty means you stop.
- Harassment has no place here. Ignoring a request to stop, making threats, or applying pressure is unacceptable.
- Illegal content is prohibited. We have zero tolerance for material involving minors or non-consensual acts. Report suspected exploitation to authorities.
- Be authentic in your profile. Fake details, ages, or stolen photos erode trust. We address this directly in our guides.
- Guard each other's privacy. Never share someone's real name, workplace, or private conversations without their explicit permission.
Five Privacy Habits to Adopt
- Create a separate space: Use a dedicated browser profile, a unique email, and specific times for dating to keep it distinct from your daily life.
- Silence your notifications: Turn off lock-screen previews and banner alerts for dating apps, and use Do Not Disturb when others are around.
- Share details sparingly: Leave your employer, exact neighborhood, and daily routines out of your profile. Blur or crop identifiable backgrounds in photos.
- Communicate with intention: Pressure to meet immediately, send explicit images, or "verify" yourself is a red flag. Your comfort isn't up for debate.
- Conduct a monthly checkup: Review your cloud photo backups, browser sync settings, and app permissions to prevent accidental exposure.
Before You Meet: A Checklist
1. Choose a Public Place
Arrange your first meeting somewhere populated, like a cafe. Avoid sharing your home address until trust is earned over time.
2. Tell a Friend
Let someone you trust know the general area and timeframe of your date, without oversharing private details about your match.
3. Control Your Transportation
Use your own car or a rideshare. Having an independent way to leave is crucial if you feel uneasy.
4. Watch Your Drink
Stay aware of your surroundings. Avoid accepting open beverages from someone new, and keep track of your own consumption.
5. Set Your Boundaries
Only agree to what you genuinely want. You can change your mind at any moment, and a respectful partner will honor that.
6. Reflect Afterwards
If something felt wrong, note the details for your records, block the person if needed, and visit our Support section.
Secure Messaging Practices
State Your Preferences Early
Mention your need for discretion and preferred pace early in the conversation. It efficiently filters out incompatible matches.
Spot Pressure Tactics
Be cautious of urgent requests for "proof," sudden financial stories, or demands to move off-platform immediately.
End Conversations Firmly
A simple, direct "no thank you" is enough. If someone persists after you've declined, blocking is a reasonable next step.
Managing Profile Photos & Anonymity
Scrub Identifying Details
Check photos for visible work badges, distinctive tattoos, street signs, or reflections that could give away your identity.
Verify Suspicious Images
If photos look too polished or generic, a quick reverse image search can reveal if they're stock images or stolen.
Control Your Cloud Sync
Disable automatic uploads from your dating app folder if your device's photos sync to a shared family cloud account.
