Dating safety
Use information as one part of a safer plan.
An identity check can add context, but it should not replace ordinary safety habits or your own judgment.
Before meeting
- Meet in a public place and tell someone where you are going.
- Keep control of your own transportation.
- Do not send money or financial credentials to someone you have not independently verified.
- Confirm basic identity details using more than one source when something important is unclear.
During the date
- Keep your phone charged and accessible.
- Protect your home address and other sensitive information until you are comfortable sharing it.
- Leave if boundaries are ignored or the situation no longer feels right to you.
