Safety at MeetBefore
A first meeting should be exciting, not risky. These are the rules the platform enforces for everyone.
Real people only
No bots and no purchased profiles. Gender is chosen once at sign-up and can never be changed. The team verifies identity before the verified badge appears, and a badge is never given without a person checking.
Public, neutral ground
Meetings happen in cafés, restaurants, parks and lounges. Partner venues sign a charter: public seating, a discreet help phrase for staff, no pressure to order. Hotel rooms are never a venue category.
A call before a coffee
A free intro video call is offered by most people. It is the single biggest predictor of a comfortable first meeting, and you can end it any time.
Block, report, act
Anyone can block anyone. Reports go to the team, not to the other person. Repeated reports suspend an account automatically until a human reviews it. Solicitation of any other service results in a permanent ban.
Your data
Photos live in private storage and are served only through short-lived links. Payment details never touch our servers. You can ask us to erase your account at any time.
If something goes wrong
Tell us straight away, at any hour. Use the contact form and choose ‘Safety concern’, or report the person directly from their profile or your chat — reporting also blocks them immediately, so you do not have to do two things while upset.
What happens next. A safety report goes to the top of the queue, not into a general inbox. We read it the same day, and normally within a few hours. We can suspend an account immediately while we look, and we preserve the messages and the booking record so nothing is lost.
We will contact you. You will hear back from a named person, not an automated reply, and we will tell you what we did. If you asked us to act and we decided not to, we will tell you that too, and why.
If you are in immediate danger, call 112 first. We are a small team and we are not an emergency service. Get yourself safe, then tell us — the account, the messages and the meeting record will still be here.
