Online Safety Tips for Dating on SPARK
Online Safety Tips for Dating on SPARK
1. Keep Your Personal Details Private
Use only your first name or a nickname on SPARK. Avoid including your full name or any identifying details in your profile.
Create a separate email account for dating if you need to share an email, but avoid sharing it unless you’re comfortable. Anonymity adds an extra layer of security until you build trust.
2. Don’t Mix Social Media with Your Dating Profile
Avoid using photos from social media on your SPARK profile, as they can be easily traced.
Keep your social media accounts private and avoid disclosing them on your dating profile. This reduces the chances of someone gaining access to personal information about your friends, family, and daily life.
3. Use SPARK’s In-App Video Chat to Get to Know Your Match
SPARK’s video chat feature is a secure way to connect before meeting in person. This lets you spend quality time together while keeping your personal contact details private.
Video Chat Safety Tips:
Avoid sharing personal details like your address or phone number.
Be mindful of what’s visible in your background to protect your privacy.
If you feel uncomfortable during the video chat, end it immediately and consider blocking the person. SPARK prioritizes a respectful, safe environment.
4. Protect Your Privacy During Conversations
Refrain from sending personal photos or sharing too much too soon. Get to know your match better before exchanging details like your phone number.
Use SPARK’s chat features rather than giving out your personal contact information initially. Protecting your privacy should always be a top priority.
5. Never Share Financial Information or Send Money
No matter how trustworthy someone seems, never send money or share banking details with anyone you meet on SPARK or other online platforms.
6. Keep Your Location Confidential
Avoid sharing your exact location, workplace, or frequently visited places with someone you haven’t met in person. Use discretion to stay safe and keep your personal life private.

Safety Tips for In-Person Dates
Safety Tips for In-Person Dates
1. Choose a Public Place for Your First Meeting
Opt for a coffee shop, restaurant, or another well-populated, public venue for your initial dates. Avoid meeting in isolated or private locations like someone’s home or a hotel.
2. Trust Your Instincts
If anything feels off, don’t hesitate to end the date. Your safety and comfort come first. It’s perfectly okay to prioritize your well-being over politeness.
3. Keep an Eye on Your Drink
Always keep your drink within sight, and avoid drinking excessively, especially on a first date. This simple precaution can help protect you from harm.
4. Arrange Your Own Transportation
Drive yourself, use public transport, or book a ride-share service. Avoid letting your date know your home address or offering them a ride, especially during the early stages.
5. Carry Cash or a Credit Card
Having some cash or a credit card on hand ensures you have the means to leave if needed and cover any unexpected situations. Feeling financially prepared can add peace of mind on your dates.
