Safety Tips

Online Safety

• Protect Your Personal Information: Don't share your home address, workplace, or financial information until you've built trust
• Use Platform Messaging: Keep conversations on Swingr until you feel comfortable moving to other platforms
• Be Cautious with Photos: Consider what identifying information might be visible in your photos
• Trust Your Instincts: If something feels off, it probably is. Don't ignore red flags

Meeting in Person

• Meet in Public First: Always have your first meeting in a public place
• Tell Someone: Let a trusted friend know where you're going and when you expect to return
• Arrange Your Own Transportation: Don't rely on strangers for rides, especially on first meetings
• Stay Sober: Keep your wits about you, especially during initial meetings
• Video Chat First: Consider a video call before meeting to verify identity

Consent & Boundaries

• Communicate Clearly: Be explicit about your boundaries and expectations
• Respect "No": Consent can be withdrawn at any time. Respect others' boundaries always
