Safety

Dating starts online and continues in the real world. A few habits keep it safe — and the tools here are built to back them up.

Before you meet

Meet in a public place, especially the first time, and stay there while you are getting to know each other. Tell a friend who you are meeting, where, and when — and check in with them afterwards. Arrange your own transport both ways, so leaving is always your choice.

Take your time in Chat first. There is no rush that is worth your safety, and anyone who pressures you to move fast, move platforms, or keep the meeting secret is showing you who they are.

Money is a red flag

Never send money, gift cards, or financial help to someone you met here — whatever the story, however long you have been talking. Never share bank details, and be suspicious of anyone steering the conversation toward investments or emergencies. Scammers build trust for weeks before they ask once.

Keep control of your information

Your exact birth date, birth time, and birth place are never shown to other members — your profile shows your age and your sign only. Beyond that, what you share is your call: keep your home address, workplace, daily routine, and financial information to yourself until real-world trust exists.

Use the tools

Report: open any profile and tap Report. That person leaves your Discover, we save the report, and three reports from different people hide a profile from everyone's Discover pending review. You can also report a Talk Center comment from the comment itself.

Block: stronger, and instant. Blocking removes the match, ends the conversation, and makes you invisible to each other. Manage everyone you have blocked — and undo a block — in Settings. Unmatch simply ends a match, no hard feelings required.

What we check — and what we do not

Every member's email is verified with a code, and every photo passes an AI vision check for a real human photo before it appears. That is where verification stops: we do not verify identity, and we do not run background checks. A verified photo means a photo passed the check — it does not prove the person is who they say they are. Your messages are end-to-end encrypted, which also means we cannot read them; if someone crosses a line in Chat, block them, and if it is serious, report it to us by email with whatever you can share.

Astrology here is a language for reflection, never a character reference. A great compatibility score is not a safety clearance, and a hard one is not an accusation.

If something goes wrong

If you are in immediate danger, contact your local emergency services first (911 in the United States). Then block the person here, and tell us at matchbyzodiac@gmail.com so we can act on the account. If a crime has been committed, report it to your local police — we will cooperate with lawful requests.

Looking after yourself

Dating is allowed to be fun, and it is allowed to pause. Mute the match emails in Settings if the inbox gets loud, take breaks when the stars feel heavy, and remember what this place is: a calm way to start real conversations — never a verdict on you or anyone else.
