Our Community Standards
These principles create a baseline for respectful interaction, online and off. They are practical boundaries, not legal advice.
- Consent must be clear and ongoing. Proceed only when intentions are mutually understood. Ambiguity is a signal to pause.
- Harassment is prohibited. This includes repeated contact after being asked to stop, threats, or any form of pressure.
- Exploitation has zero tolerance. We do not host or link to illegal material. Report concerns about minors or non-consent directly to law enforcement.
- Present yourself authentically. Misleading profiles with fabricated details or stolen images erode trust for everyone involved.
- Honor others' privacy. Never share someone's personal information, identifiable details, or private communications without their explicit permission.
Five Habits for Daily Use
- Compartmentalize your activity: Use a separate browser profile, a dedicated email, and schedule specific times to keep your dating life distinct.
- Manage your notifications: Disable lock-screen previews and banner alerts for dating apps, especially in shared spaces. Utilize Do Not Disturb modes.
- Limit profile data: Avoid listing your workplace, exact neighborhood, or daily patterns. Crop photos to remove identifiable backgrounds or landmarks.
- Maintain calm communication: Pressure to meet urgently, send explicit images, or constantly verify your interest is a red flag. Your comfort level needs no justification.
- Conduct monthly reviews: Check your cloud photo backups, browser sync settings, and app permissions on shared devices. A quick audit prevents accidental exposure.
A Pre-Meeting Checklist
1. Start in Public
Select a busy cafe or similar venue for a first meeting. Avoid private residences until you've established a pattern of respectful interaction.
2. Inform a Contact
Tell a trusted friend your general plans - location and timeframe - without sharing unnecessary private details about your date.
3. Control Your Transport
Use your own ride or public transit. This ensures you can leave whenever you choose, without depending on the other person.
4. Be Mindful of Substances
Stay alert enough to assess your comfort and safety. Be cautious about accepting open containers from someone you've just met.
5. Define Intimacy Boundaries
Only agree to what you genuinely desire. You retain the right to change your mind, and a respectful partner will acknowledge that without debate.
6. Plan Your Aftercare
If something feels off, note the details for yourself, block the user if needed, and reach out to our Support team.
Guidelines for Safe Communication
Establish Expectations Early
Briefly mention your preferences for discretion and pace. This simple step helps filter incompatible matches from the start.
Recognize Boundary Testing
Be wary of immediate requests for financial help, demands to "prove" yourself, or urgent pushes to move conversations off-platform.
End Conversations Cleanly
A polite, brief closure is sufficient. If someone persists after you've said no, blocking them is a reasonable action for your peace of mind.
Managing Photos and Identity
Remove Identifying Details
Check for workplace badges, distinctive tattoos, visible license plates, or house numbers in photo reflections that could reveal your identity.
Verify Images
If a profile's pictures seem overly generic or professional, a reverse image search can often reveal if they're stock photos or stolen.
Audit Your Cloud Sync
Ensure photos taken for dating profiles aren't automatically uploaded to a cloud account shared with family or partners.
