Yes - as with all online activities it is important to take precautions when meeting someone new through a dating platform such as a hook up site or app. Always meet in public places at first until you get to know the person better; never give out personal information such as your address or financial details; always let someone else know where you will be going if meeting offline; don't accept rides from strangers etc.. Additionally make sure that whatever platform you're using has robust security measures in place so that your data remains safe from hackers.
