Our Community Standards
These expectations create a foundation for respectful interaction, in messages and in person. They are practical boundaries, not legal advice.
- Consent is non-negotiable. Proceed only with clear, mutual agreement. Ambiguity or silence means you pause or stop.
- Harassment is prohibited. Continuing contact after a request to stop, making threats, or coercive behavior is unacceptable.
- No exploitation. We have zero tolerance for content involving minors or shared without consent. Suspected illegal activity should be reported to authorities.
- Be authentic. Misleading profiles with fake details or stolen photos erode trust, something we address directly in our guidance.
- Respect others' privacy. Do not share someone's personal information, screenshots, or identifiable details without their explicit permission.
Five Daily Privacy Habits
- Create separation: Use a dedicated browser profile, a separate email, and scheduled times to keep your dating activity distinct from your personal or professional life.
- Manage notifications: Disable lock-screen previews and banner alerts for dating apps, and use Do Not Disturb modes when you're around others.
- Limit profile data: Avoid listing your workplace, exact location, or daily routines. Crop photos to remove identifiable backgrounds or landmarks.
- Communicate with clarity: Pressure to meet quickly, send intimate photos, or constantly verify your interest is a warning sign. You don't need to justify your comfort level.
- Conduct monthly reviews: Briefly check your cloud photo backups, app permissions, and any shared device access to prevent accidental exposure.
Checklist Before Meeting Someone
1. Meet in Public
Choose a busy location like a coffee shop for a first meeting. Avoid sharing your home address until you've established consistent, respectful interaction.
2. Inform a Friend
Let someone you trust know your general plans, including the location and time, without divulging unnecessary private details about your date.
3. Use Your Own Transport
Maintain control over your departure. Having your own way to leave allows you to exit a situation immediately if you feel uneasy.
4. Be Mindful of Substances
Stay alert enough to assess your comfort and safety. Avoid accepting open drinks from someone you've just met and pace your consumption.
5. Set Intimacy Boundaries
Only agree to what you genuinely desire. You can change your mind at any point, and a respectful partner will accept that without debate.
6. Plan for Aftercare
If something feels wrong, note the details for yourself, block the person if necessary, and reach out to Support.
Guidelines for Safe Communication
Establish Expectations Early
Briefly mention your preferences for discretion and pace in initial conversations. This helps filter out incompatible matches from the start.
Recognize Boundary Testing
Be cautious of early requests for financial help, demands to "prove" your interest, or immediate pressure to move conversations off-platform.
End Conversations Cleanly
A simple, direct goodbye is sufficient. If someone persists after you've said no, blocking them is a reasonable step for your peace of mind.
Managing Photos and Identity
Remove Identifying Details
Check photos for visible badges, unique tattoos, house numbers, or license plate reflections that could reveal your identity to others.
Use Reverse Image Search
If someone's profile pictures seem overly professional or generic, a quick search can often reveal if they are stock images or stolen from elsewhere.
Review Cloud Sync Settings
Disable automatic uploads for your dating app folder if your device's photo library syncs to a cloud account shared with family or partners.
