Date with confidence

Keep early conversations on Closer

• Use Closer messaging while you get to know someone. Moving immediately to text, email, or another app can make safety controls less effective.
• Be cautious if someone pressures you to leave the platform, refuses reasonable questions, or gives inconsistent answers.
• Never share passwords, verification codes, financial account details, your Social Security number, or your exact home or work address.

Watch for scams and financial pressure

• Never send money, cryptocurrency, gift cards, bank information, or investments to someone you met through the service.
• Warning signs include urgent medical or travel stories, promised investment returns, requests to transfer funds, and repeated excuses to avoid meeting or video calling.
• Do not accept packages or open accounts for another person. Stop communicating and report suspicious requests.

Use profiles and verification thoughtfully

• A verification badge can add confidence, but it is not a guarantee of identity, intentions, or safety.
• Look for consistent photos and profile details. A reverse-image search may help identify stolen photos.
• Do not share intimate images. Anything sent digitally can be copied or distributed without permission.

Plan a safer first meeting

• Meet in a busy public place and avoid a private home, hotel room, or isolated location for an early date.
• Tell a trusted friend where you are going, who you are meeting, and when you expect to check in.
• Arrange your own transportation, keep your phone charged, and maintain control of your food and drinks.
• Limit alcohol or anything that could impair judgment. Leave at any time if you feel pressured or uncomfortable.

Consent and respectful behavior

• Consent must be clear, voluntary, informed, and ongoing. It may be withdrawn at any time.
• Harassment, threats, stalking, coercion, sexual violence, trafficking, impersonation, and non-consensual intimate content are prohibited.
• Closer Singles is for adults age 18 and older. Report any account that may involve a minor immediately.

Protect your account and location

• Use a unique password and never share a sign-in or verification code.
• Closer Singles may use approximate location for discovery. Do not publish your exact daily routine, home address, or workplace details.
• Sign out of shared devices and review saved-password access on devices you do not fully control.
