Dating Safety Hints
TrulyNear wants every one of its users to have the best experience possible. So we want to empower you to take charge of your safety on and off our platform. While no method of risk reduction is perfect, exercising caution and using your best judgement will go a long way to keeping yourself safe.
Online Interactions
- Protect Your Identity: Avoid sharing personal details like your home address, workplace, or other identifying information.
- Be Cautious with Photos: Think twice before sharing personal photos. Once shared, you can't control their distribution.
- Stay Within Our Platform: Keep your initial conversations within the TrulyNear messaging system.
Meeting in Person
- Public Places First: Always meet in a public place like a café or a park during daylight hours.
- Inform Someone: Tell a friend or family member where you're going, with whom, and when you plan to return.
- Stay Sober: Avoid or limit alcohol. Staying clear-headed helps you make better decisions.
Watch Out for Red Flags
- Too Good to Be True: Be skeptical of profiles or messages that seem too perfect or rush intimacy.
- Money Matters: Never send money, gifts, or personal financial information.
- Trust Your Gut: If something feels off, it probably is. Report suspicious behavior.
Using TrulyNear Features
- Block and Report: If you encounter harassment, scams, or any violation of our terms, use our in-app tools to block and report the user.
- Privacy Settings: Regularly review and adjust your privacy settings to control what others see about you.
Remember
Even though it's important to exercise caution, no risk reduction method is guaranteed. If you have a bad experience on TrulyNear please let us know by reporting it through the app.
