Safety Guidelines

Engaging with new acquaintances can be thrilling, but it's crucial to exercise caution when interacting with unfamiliar individuals. Prioritize your safety at all times, whether you're exchanging initial messages or planning an in-person meeting. While you can't control the actions of others, there are steps you can take to ensure a secure experience on Nativfy.

Online Safety
Refrain from Sending Money or Sharing Financial Details.
Avoid sending money, particularly via wire transfer, even if someone claims to be in an emergency. Money transfers are irreversible, and sharing financial information is risky.
Report any money requests to us immediately.

Safeguard Your Personal Information
Never disclose personal details like your social security number, home or work address, or daily routine to strangers. If you're a parent, limit sharing information about your children. Avoid revealing names, schools, ages, or genders.

Exercise Caution with Long-Distance Relationships
Be cautious of individuals seeking financial assistance to return home. Avoid those unwilling to meet in person or engage in video calls. Trust your instincts if someone avoids questions or rushes into a relationship.

Report Suspicious Behavior
If you encounter inappropriate behavior, promptly block and report the user. Examples of violations include requests for money, harassment, and fraudulent profiles.

Secure Your Account

Meeting in Person
Take Your Time
Prioritize getting to know your match before agreeing to an offline meeting. Ask questions to identify any concerns or dealbreakers.

Meet in Public Spaces
Choose populated, public venues for initial meetings, avoiding private locations. If pressured to go elsewhere, end the date.

Inform Friends and Family
Share your plans, including the date, time, and location, with a friend or family member. Keep your phone charged and easily accessible.

Control Your Transportation
Ensure you have a reliable means of transportation to and from the date. Consider using a ride-sharing app or arranging a backup plan.

Be Mindful of Limits
Understand the effects of substances like drugs or alcohol on your judgment. Politely decline if pressured to consume more than you're comfortable with.

Monitor Your Belongings
Keep track of your drinks and personal items at all times. Accept only drinks from bartenders or servers. Maintain control over your belongings to prevent theft.

Trust Your Instincts
If you feel uneasy, it's acceptable to end the date early. Seek help from staff if necessary.
