Safety Tips for Online Dating

Staying Safe on Crowdr

Your safety matters to us. Whether you're chatting in a speed dating round or meeting a connection in person, these tips will help you protect yourself.

Protect Your Personal Information

1. Never share sensitive details like your home address, workplace address, financial information, or passwords in chats.
2. Keep conversations on Crowdr until you feel comfortable and have built trust with your connection.
3. Be cautious with social media — sharing your handles early on can reveal a lot about your daily life and location.

Meeting In Person

If you decide to meet a connection in real life, take these precautions:

1. Meet in a public place — choose a busy cafe, restaurant, or park for your first few dates.
2. Tell a friend — let someone you trust know where you'll be, who you're meeting, and when you expect to be back.
3. Arrange your own transportation — drive yourself or use a rideshare so you can leave whenever you want.
4. Stay sober and alert — keep your wits about you, especially on a first meeting.
5. Don't feel pressured — you can end a date at any time for any reason. Your comfort comes first.

Trust Your Instincts

• If something feels off, it probably is. Don't ignore red flags.
• Block and report anyone who makes you feel uncomfortable — you don't owe anyone an explanation.
• Report suspicious behavior immediately so our moderation team can investigate.

Watch Out for Scams

• Never send money to anyone you've met online, no matter the reason they give.
• Be wary of people who refuse to video chat or always have excuses for why they can't.
• Watch for inconsistencies in their stories or profile details.

Keep Your Account Secure

• Use a strong, unique password for your Apple ID (which you use to sign in to Crowdr).
• Enable two-factor authentication on your Apple ID for an extra layer of security.
• Never share your login credentials with anyone.
