Legal information

At Trans4Date, we take great care of our community and make your safety top priority. We do take a lot of steps to protect you, but ultimately, your online and offline safety remains your responsibility. Use these tips and common-sense practices to have a secure and pleasant dating experience.

Creating your profile

Be anonymous

Don’t include contact details (email address, phone number, instant messenger details, social media username...) or any other identifiable information (full name, place of work...) in your profile or in your initial communications.

Protect your password

Don't share your password with anyone. Be careful when accessing your account from a public or shared computer, so that others can't see or record your password or private data, and make sure you log in after use.

Interacting with other members

Communicate through Trans4Date

Get to know someone and evaluate the relationship before contacting him / her outside of Trans4Date, through email, phone or social media.

Take your time

Sometimes you get excited about someone, and your instincts get confused by your emotions. Take your time to know someone before disclosing your full identity or contact details.

Never send money

There's no reason anyone could ask you for money. If someone you meet on Trans4Date asks you for money, stop all communication and report him / her immediately.

Meeting in person

Meet in a public place

Make sure to meet in a public place during daylight hours. Don’t agree to meet in an isolated place, at their place or your own home.

Arrange your own transportation

Don’t allow your date to pick you up. Use your own transportation to get to and from the meeting place.

Stay connected

Tell friends where and when you are going. Make sure your phone is fully charged and reachable. Let your friends understand how the meeting goes and when you get back safely.

Watch your drink

Watch your alcohol intake, and don’t leave your drink unattended.

Protecting yourself from scammers

Scammers are people who use dating sites disingenuously to trick or scam other members, usually by asking for money. If you suspect someone, you may be speaking to a scammer, stopping all communication, and reporting to him / her instantly.

Watch out for red flags

There are certain red flags to watch for that may indicate you’re dealing with a scammer. Be aware of anyone who:

asks you for money
asks to communicate outside of the site right away (through phone, email, social media)
disappeared mysteriously from the site, then reappears under a different profile
claims to love you right away, or quickly pushes for a serious relationship without really knowing you
has a well written description but makes lots of grammar / spelling mistakes via messages
claims to be from your country but currently travelling, living or working abroad
refuses to meet you in person or talk on the phone
avoids answering questions about himself / herself
claims to be recently widowed

Common reasons used by scammers to ask for money are:

travel costs to come visit you (airfare, visa fee)
internet bill / phone load to keep communicating with you
an emergency (medical issue, being stuck abroad)
a donation for a charity
a lucrative business idea
