When choosing a dating site or app, it’s important to make sure that the platform has taken measures to ensure its users are protected. Look for sites and apps with safety policies in place such as user verification processes, data encryption protocols, customer service support teams available 24/7 and clear terms of use outlining what type of behaviour is not tolerated on their platforms. It’s also worth reading reviews from other users before signing up so you can get an idea about how they have experienced using the platform.
