Version 2, Effective May 11, 2026
Northgiven is a dating platform for adults seeking serious connection. Your safety is your call — we build tools to help, but no system replaces your own judgment. This page covers how to protect yourself online and in person.
Meet in public the first few times. Coffee shops, restaurants, parks — anywhere with people around. Daytime first dates are safer than nighttime ones.
Tell someone where you're going. A friend, family member, or roommate — someone who knows you're on a date and where. Share your date's name and profile. Set a check-in time so they can follow up if you go quiet.
Keep your phone charged. Make sure you can make a call or get a ride at any point during the date.
Don't leave your drink unattended. Watch your drink from the bar to the table. If you step away, leave it.
Have your own transportation. Don't rely on your date for a ride — especially the first time. This keeps you in control of when you leave.
Don't share your phone number, email, or social accounts early. Keep the conversation in the app until you feel ready. Northgiven messaging has a block and report function — use it if needed.
Be suspicious of anyone who asks for money, gift cards, crypto, or banking info. This is always a scam. Block and report.
Watch for stories that don't add up. Inconsistent details, excuses for why they can't video chat, or sudden emergencies are red flags.
Don't click links sent by people you haven't met. Links can be used to harvest login credentials, install tracking software, or redirect you to fraudulent sites.
You don't owe anyone your time, attention, or body. If someone is pressuring you to share photos, personal information, meet in private, or do anything that makes you uncomfortable — block and report them.
Moving conversations off-platform to avoid Northgiven's safety tools is a violation of our Community Standards.
Block them. Stops all contact immediately.
Report them in the app. Use the report button on any profile or conversation. You can report without blocking.
Tell someone you trust. A friend, family member, or counselor.
Contact local authorities if you're in danger. Emergency services are there for this.
Reach out to us. safety@northgiven.com is monitored for urgent safety concerns.
Northgiven reviews reports based on available evidence, severity, and context. We may remove content, restrict accounts, or permanently remove accounts. We may also preserve records and share them with authorities when required or appropriate.
We do not always provide detailed explanations of enforcement decisions when doing so would compromise safety or an active investigation.
If someone coerced, manipulated, or hurt you — on Northgiven or through contact started on Northgiven — we want to know. Reports can be filed anonymously. You don't have to have proof to file a report.
For urgent situations: contact local emergency services first, then report to Northgiven at safety@northgiven.com.
If you use linked profiles for Consensually Non-Monogamous (CNM) or poly dating: each adult must have their own account, and each adult must consent from their own account. Coercion around linked-profile creation, consent, or unlinking is a serious violation of our Community Standards.
If intimate images of you have been shared on Northgiven without your consent, you can request removal without an account. See our NCII Removal Requests page for instructions. You can also report directly in the app.
