Safety

Your safety
comes first

We’re building a dating app where you can be yourself without worry. Here’s how we protect you — and how you can protect yourself.

How we keep you safe

Safety isn’t an afterthought — it’s built into every part of MySingleFriend.

Video-first profiles

Real video responses make it much harder to fake who you are. You’re seeing and hearing real people, not curated photo sets.

Friend-built profiles

Your profile is co-created by someone who actually knows you. This social layer adds a natural layer of accountability and trust.

Paywall as a filter

A small subscription fee is one of the best defences against bots, scammers, and people who aren’t serious about dating.

Content moderation

We review reported content and profiles. Violations of our community guidelines result in warnings, suspensions, or permanent bans.

Block & report

Block anyone instantly. Report profiles, messages, or content — all reports are reviewed by our team and treated confidentially.

Your data stays yours

We never sell your data, serve ads, or share your information with third parties for marketing. You’re the customer, not the product.

Meeting someone in person

When you’re ready to meet a match offline, keep these tips in mind.

Meet in public

Always choose a busy, public place for first dates — a café, pub, or restaurant. Avoid private locations until you know someone well.

Tell a friend

Let someone you trust know where you’re going, who you’re meeting, and when you expect to be back. Share your live location.

Trust your instincts

If something feels off, it’s okay to leave. You don’t owe anyone your time. A good match will respect your boundaries.

Take your time

There’s no rush. Chat in the app first. Video calls can help you get a feel for someone before meeting in person.

Arrange your own transport

Drive yourself, take a taxi, or use public transport. Don’t rely on your date for a lift home, especially on a first meeting.

Guard your personal info

Don’t share your home address, workplace, or financial details until you truly trust someone. Keep conversations on the app at first.

Staying safe online

Not all red flags show up in person. Watch out for these warning signs.

Requests for money

Never send money to someone you’ve met on a dating app, no matter how convincing the story. This is the most common sign of a romance scam.

Moving off-app too quickly

Be cautious of people who immediately want to move to WhatsApp, Telegram, or email. Scammers prefer platforms with less oversight. Keep chatting in-app until you're comfortable.

Too good to be true

Overly flattering messages, declarations of love within days, or elaborate sob stories are classic manipulation tactics. Real connections take time.

Pressure & boundary pushing

Anyone who pressures you to share intimate photos, personal information, or meet before you’re ready doesn’t have your best interests at heart. Block and report them.

How to report

If something doesn’t feel right, we want to know about it. You won’t get in trouble for reporting — it helps everyone.

In the app

Tap the report button on any profile, message, or piece of content. It takes seconds.

Email us

Reach out to [email protected] with details and screenshots.

Confidential

Reports are always confidential. The person you report won’t know who flagged them.
