Trust and safety
Meet people without giving yourself away
What the site does to protect you, and what stays in your hands.
- Optional ID verification
- Instant blocking
- 24/7 support
Meeting people online takes some trust. This page says what the site does to earn it, and what stays in your hands.
What is up to you
Some protections are on for everyone, and some are your call. ID verification and the live video check are optional. You choose what other members see: a username, and your nearest town or city rather than your address. And you can block or report anyone at any time.
Good habits before you meet
No site can promise that everyone is who they say they are. A Verified badge shows that someone passed a check, not how they will behave, so trust your own judgement too.
- Keep chatting on the site until you feel comfortable, and take your time before sharing your number, surname or workplace.
- Never send money or financial details to someone you haven't met, whatever the story.
- Meet somewhere public for the first time, get there and back on your own, and tell a friend where you'll be.
- If anything feels off, you can leave, block and report. You don't owe anyone an explanation.

What it looks like
How you stay in control
From joining to getting help, in the order you'd meet it.
-
Choose a username
Your real name and email are never shown publicly.

Get verified if you want
A free ID check puts a badge on your profile. A live video check with a moderator confirms who you are without documents. Both are optional.
-
Check who you're talking to
Members have a reputation score based on behaviour and feedback, and you can upvote or downvote an interaction with one click.
-
Stay in control
Block anyone instantly, report users or content from inside the site, and sensitive images are blurred with a warning first.
-
