Safety & Privacy

Date safely. Without compromise.

Online dating comes with risks — fake profiles, number misuse, uncomfortable situations. talkbeforedate is built for your safety from day one: no number exchange, anonymous calls, verifiable profiles.

How we help you stay safer

Anonymous calls

You call your match through the app — without your phone number being transmitted. No callback, no saving of your number, no entry in the normal call log.

Your number stays private

You never have to share your phone number — not before and not after the date. If you never give it out, nobody can misuse it.

Email required, photo verification optional

A confirmed email is required to send messages — that keeps throwaway accounts out. If you want to build more trust, you can additionally verify with a live selfie and get the photo badge.

You decide when

The conversation runs until you end it. You share your number, name or location only when you actively choose to — never automatically.

Reachable only when you want

You control when someone can call you. With “Do not disturb” you're unreachable for 6 hours (switch it off any time); while you're on a call you show as busy. No pressure, no unwanted calls.

Conversation as filter

A real conversation before the first meeting tells you more than any profile photo. Many unpleasant surprises on the date can be filtered out beforehand.

Reporting with trust logic

Any account can be blocked and reported with one click. Our moderation weighs every report by how trustworthy the reporting person is — several independent reports automatically trigger a review or restriction, while a single bad-faith report typically won't get anyone wrongly suspended. Only our team can lift a restriction.

Photo Verification

Real person — not just a profile photo.

If you want, you can additionally confirm your profile with a live selfie. That way others can see there's a real person behind the profile — which makes fakes and bots much harder.

And the badge stays current: if someone later changes their verified main photo, the verification is removed until they confirm again.

Open live camera

The camera feed is shown directly in the browser — no upload needed.

Make a random gesture

The system assigns a random gesture — this prevents screenshots and old photos.

Receive the verified badge

After review your green badge appears on your profile — visible to everyone.

Practical tips for safe dates

01

First conversation in the app

Use the anonymous call for the first conversation. A first name is plenty — no address, no last name needed.

02

Public place for the first meeting

Always meet your match at a busy, public place for the first date — café, restaurant, park. No private apartment for the first meeting.

03

Inform a trusted person

Tell a friend where you're going and when you'll be back. A quick “got home safe” check-in is standard. With talkbeforedate you can do this straight inside the app: create a meeting plan, share the link via WhatsApp or notify a trusted person by email — if you don't check in safely, they get alerted automatically. No phone numbers swapped.

04

Your own transport

Arrive with your own transport and don't arrange a ride for the first meeting. That way you can leave any time if it doesn't feel right.

Date safely — from the start.

talkbeforedate is built for you if safety and real connections matter more than quick matches and full inboxes.
