Stay Safe While Swiping: 5 Crucial Online Dating Privacy Tips

1. Password Security

   
   

   Always create a strong, unique password just for your dating profile. For an additional line of defense against hackers, turn on two-factor authentication.

   
   

   

   
   

2. Profile Privacy

   
   

   You should never share your full name, address (work or home), and phone number in your profile. Instead, find a nickname for dating sites to avoid any issues.

   
   

   

   
   

3. Photo Safety

   
   

   Do not use photos originally on your social media to avoid reverse image searches. Never forget to strip your pictures of location metadata before sharing them.

   
   

   

   
   

4. Social Media Protection

   
   

   Avoid connecting your personal dating profiles to your social media handles. Lock down privacy settings on all social platforms to limit what people who aren't your friends can see.

   
   

   

   
   

5. Safe Meeting

   
   

   Meet in a safe, crowded place during the day. Tell your friend where you are going and who you're meeting before you go on a date.
