01
Identity check
A team member reviews a government-issued ID before a guest may be seated. Verification reduces impersonation; it is not a background or criminal-record check.
Trust and safety
Before / during / after
Exciting should not
mean uncertain.
No safety system can remove every risk from meeting another adult. Ours is designed to reduce avoidable risk, give you control, and make help easy to reach.
02
Public partner venue
Events take place in staffed hotels, restaurants, cafes, or clubs. Venue staff and ordinary patrons may be present.
03
Host on site
A host checks the paid list, helps guests find the table, remains available during the event, and can support an exit or report.
04
Minimum disclosure
Guests receive no identity or contact details beforehand. Venues receive only the information needed to deliver the event.
Your control
You can leave.
No explanation.
Your participation is voluntary throughout. A match, payment, or arrival never creates an obligation to stay, share personal information, drink alcohol, accept transport, or continue contact.
Leave at any time
Tell the host if you want support leaving or arranging transport. In immediate danger, leave first and call emergency services.
No recording other guests
Do not photograph, film, or record another guest without their clear permission. The host may require recording to stop and content to be deleted.
No pressure or pursuit
A refusal to share contact details, continue the evening, drink, or meet again is final. Unwanted follow-up may lead to suspension.
Reporting
Tell us early.
Tell us plainly.
During an event, tell the host. Afterwards, email us with the event, what happened, and how to contact you. We restrict reports to people who need them, but may preserve or disclose information where required for safety, legal compliance, or a fair review.

Move to a staffed public area and call 112 in India. You may also call the women's helpline at 181 where available. Contacting us is not a substitute for police, medical, venue-security, or emergency assistance.
