Safety

Most people on dating sites are looking for the same thing you are - a chat, a flirt, a date or a relationship. But there are also scammers and people who don't respect boundaries. Below are some tips to help you meet people calmly and without nasty surprises.

How to spot a scammer

• They ask for money, a transfer, BLIK, a gift card or crypto - whatever the reason (a ticket, medical bills, customs, an "investment"). Everything on dejt.pl is free, so nobody has a reason to ask you to pay.
• They declare their feelings very quickly but avoid video calls and meeting in person.
• They push you to switch to another messenger or send a link for "verification" on an outside site.
• Their photos look like a fashion shoot and their profile says very little. Look for the blue badge - it marks profiles verified with a photo holding a card with a code.

If a message asks for money or contains a suspicious link, we'll show a warning. Report that account - we'll check it.

The first date

Logged-in users can use Safe date - someone close to you gets an email with your date plan, and if you don't confirm you're back, they get a reminder.

• Meet in a public place and get there on your own - don't let them pick you up from home.
• Tell someone close to you who you're meeting and where.
• Don't leave your drink unattended and trust your gut - you can always leave.
• Keep your address, workplace and last name to yourself until you get to know someone better.

Photos and privacy

Bold photos, meaning partial nudity (a bare chest, including for women), can go in your public gallery - only logged-in users see them, and your main photo must always be a regular one. Nudity below the waist goes in your private gallery only. If you'd rather not see bold photos, turn on blurring in your settings.

Keep private photos in your private gallery and share them only with people you choose - you can revoke access at any time. In a chat you can send a one-time photo that disappears after it's viewed. Don't send photos that would hurt you if they got out. Sharing someone's intimate photos without consent is a crime - report it to us and to the police.

Blocking and reporting

You can report any profile, photo or message with one button. A blocked person won't see your profile and can't message you. Reports are reviewed by a real person, and we let you know the decision. Illegal content can also be reported by people without an account - using the form Report illegal content.

When something goes wrong

In an emergency, call 112. Report online fraud to the police and to CERT Polska (incydent.cert.pl), the Polish national cyber incident team. Support for people experiencing violence: Niebieska Linia (Polish helpline) 800 120 002. Keep screenshots of your chats - they'll help with your report.
