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, no purchased profiles, no fake accounts created by us. Gender is chosen once at sign-up and can never be changed. The team verifies identity before the verified badge appears.

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.
