Your privacy and safety

The dating service hasn't opened yet, so there are no real dating profiles or private chats here. These are the rules we want the future service to follow.

Would every answer be visible to other members?

No. You could show some answers and keep others private for matching. For example, an answer could help avoid an unsuitable suggestion without appearing on your profile. The site mustn't give it away when explaining why two people might get along.

Would MitID put my full name on my profile?

No. You could use a chosen profile name. Your legal identity would be kept separately with tightly restricted access. MitID would help us keep one account per adult and make throwaway accounts harder to create; it wouldn't guarantee that everybody behaves honestly.

You wouldn't need a new account just to take another look at profiles you've passed over. Resetting your own browsing history would be free.

Could somebody get around my Block by changing their profile?

Changing a name, photo or profile wouldn't remove your Block. Direct contact across that person's Standard and Hookup profiles would stop immediately, and the planned Pair protections would stop a couple's profile becoming a workaround. Nobody would be told who had blocked them or why.

What would AI check?

The plan includes checking pictures, profile text and messages for scams, threats and unwanted explicit content. Checks would normally run on the service's own systems. AI can get things wrong, so there must be a way to ask for another review. It wouldn't give people a public trust or attractiveness score.

You could choose to receive sexual language from particular people, including through a rule for people you've liked or matched with. Only those people would see a small permission indicator in the chat. You could turn it off again, and checks for scams or threats would stay on.

Would AI change my profile text?

It could point out a problem and suggest a correction, but you would choose any changes. Text needing a review would stay private until the issue was resolved. If a check seemed wrong, you could ask for another local check or human review.

An exceptional outside AI review would need an approved service, an explanation of what would be sent and your permission for that item. It wouldn't be an automatic fallback. See Photos, messages and reporting problems for more.

Could I leave and come back later?

Yes. You could hide all your profiles and keep chatting with existing matches, even if you both took a break. You couldn't search for new people or send new Likes without an active profile. Closing your account would be a separate choice. We're also planning a protected file you could download and keep yourself, so you could restore your own reusable profile details later.

Returning would require fresh identity verification and a check that the file was issued to you and hadn't been changed. An export wouldn't restore old chats, Likes, somebody else's consent or a previous verification status. The format and how long it could be used still need to be settled.

Any limited information kept for a genuine safety or legal reason would need clear rules. Nothing here can retrieve a screenshot another person has already saved.
