Safety centre

You deserve to feel safe here

Safety isn't a feature we bolted on — it's a design constraint we started with. Here's exactly what we do to protect you, and what you can do to protect yourself.

What we do to protect you

Six concrete commitments — not vague promises.

Your location stays private

We never show your exact GPS coordinates to anyone. Other users only see an approximate distance (e.g. "8 km away"). You can turn location sharing off at any time in your profile settings.

No surveillance or tracking

We don't track you across other websites. We don't sell your data to advertisers. The only data we use is what you give us, and we use it solely to improve your matches.

Block and report — instantly

Every conversation has a one-tap block. Blocked users can't see your profile, message you, or find you in matches. Reports are reviewed by a human, not just an algorithm.

Messages only between mutual matches

You can only be messaged by people you've already matched with. No unsolicited messages, no cold approaches from strangers — ever.

Profile verification

Profiles go through an automated check for red flags before going live. Our trust team manually reviews reports and can remove accounts within the hour.

Clear community standards

Our standards are written in plain language. We ban hate speech, sexual harassment, catfishing, and unsolicited explicit content. There are no grey areas by design.

Smart dating habits

The most effective safety tools are the ones you carry with you.

Good habits
  • Be honest about who you are and what you're looking for
  • Meet in a public place for your first few dates
  • Tell a friend where you're going and who you're meeting
  • Trust your gut — it's OK to leave a date early
  • Report anything that makes you uncomfortable, no matter how small
  • Take your time — good matches don't disappear overnight
Things to avoid
  • Share your home address before you've met and feel safe
  • Send money or gifts to someone you haven't met in person
  • Ignore requests that feel pushy or too fast
  • Share financial details, passwords, or ID documents
  • Feel pressured to continue a conversation that feels wrong
  • Assume a verified photo means the person is entirely safe

Red flags to know

Recognising these patterns early keeps you safer. Always report them.

They avoid video calls

Reluctance to appear on video before meeting is a common sign of catfishing.

They ask for money

Romance scammers often build rapport over weeks before a financial "emergency" appears.

They rush intimacy

Pressure to declare love quickly or meet privately before you're ready is a manipulation tactic.

Their story shifts

Inconsistencies in their background, job, or location are worth noting — and reporting.

If you feel unsafe right now

If you are in immediate danger, call your local emergency services (112 in the EU, 999 in the UK, 911 in the US). For non-emergency concerns on LoveFinder, tap the flag icon inside any conversation or email safety@lovefinder.ai
