Meeting people online is wonderful, and a few smart habits keep it that way. Here is how to protect yourself without losing the fun.

Guard your personal details

Keep your address, workplace and financial information private until you have built real trust. Use the in-app chat rather than sharing your number straight away.

"Safe dating is not about being suspicious. It is about being in charge."

Trust your instincts and report anything off

If a profile asks for money, pressures you or avoids video calls, step back. Use the report and block tools. They exist to protect you and the community.
