Safety Center

Emergency? OpenDating is not an emergency service. Contact local emergency services if someone is in immediate danger.

Before meeting

Keep early conversations in the app.
Never send money, gift cards, passwords, or financial credentials.
Watch for pressure to move quickly, secrecy, inconsistent stories, and investment or emergency requests.
Use the in-app block and report controls when something feels wrong.

Meeting in person

Choose a public place and control your transportation.
Tell a trusted person where you are going and when you expect to return.
Protect your home and workplace address until trust is established.
Leave whenever you feel uncomfortable; you do not owe anyone an explanation.

Privacy limits

Messages are end-to-end encrypted, but recipients can copy, photograph, or share what they receive. OpenDating cannot prevent screenshots.

Reporting

Reports should include only the evidence you choose to disclose. Use the in-app report flow when possible; for an operational fallback, email jonny2298@live.com without recovery keys, exact location, or private message content.
