Verified profiles: Certainty in online dating
In online dating, trust is crucial. That's why we work with verified profiles to guarantee that our users really exist. Through a careful verification process, such as ID checks, email security and video verifications, we confirm the identity of each user. This eliminates fake profiles and creates a safe environment.
The process is simple: users upload a valid ID and perform a short verification video. This data is used only to confirm authenticity and is stored securely according to the strictest privacy guidelines. Our privacy policy ensures that personal information is never shared with third parties and remains completely confidential.
With verified profiles, we offer singles the assurance that they are connecting with real people. This not only increases the reliability of our platform, but also the chances of making real, valuable connections. Your safety and privacy are always paramount, so you can date with peace of mind.

Security is always our top priority. We are always at the forefront of technology as the online world faces new challenges every day. We are committed to fighting online scams on our dating site and we do it together with our members.

4. How to notice scammers, sextortion and phishing right away
Defending yourself against all these techniques is not simple, but there are a few red flags you can notice:
Phishing from addresses is the first step. This usually happens with links that cannot be decoded beforehand and that have been shortened by services that shorten links. In such a case, always check the entire URL. Do not click on unknown links.
Scam or fraud. This is normally aimed at taking money from you. This can take different forms. Scammers usually pretend to be the charming prince or cute princess to make their target fall in love with them. The first stage is excessive romance. This usually lasts for a few weeks. They try to get your personal information such as phone numbers and the like. This phase is usually followed by an initial demand for money, usually a small amount, due to an accident, wallet lost or emergency. Once the initial money demand is met, suddenly larger and larger amounts are demanded from the target. Always with the promise that they will return the money. Unfortunately, this is not the case and the scammer simply disappears with his target's money.
With sextortion , the target is blackmailed. In the first stage, trust is established. This trust can be used to take nude photos, naked masturbation photos, naked sex photos, naked videos or even sex videos with the target. These materials are later used as blackmail tools to extort money from the target. Never send such a file to strangers. Always be careful.
5. SSL encryption
Our servers are SSL encrypted for your security. Always look for the SSL certificate in the browser's address bar in the upper left corner.
