Dating App Privacy Settings Card

Could A Match Find Your Home Address?

• Your full name is right there on your profile.
• Your photos lead straight back to your Instagram.
• Your job and school narrow you down fast.
• The app shows exactly how far away you are.
• Logging in with Facebook shared more than you meant to.
• Your number went out after one good chat.

Dating apps are built to share your photos, your interests and sometimes your location. That helps you meet people. It also makes it easy for a stranger to work out who you are and where you live, often before you've even met.

This one-page card takes you through the privacy settings worth checking on any dating app. You stay visible to genuine matches while keeping your identity and whereabouts to yourself.

What's inside: four sections for safer swiping

🎭 Protect Your Identity: use a first name or nickname only, choose photos that aren't linked to your other public accounts, and keep your workplace and school off your profile.

📍 Location Controls: turn off precise location where the app allows it, hide your distance, and don't link real-time location features to matches.

🔐 Account Security: use a strong, unique password, turn on two-factor authentication, and skip "Log in with Facebook" so the app doesn't pull in extra data.

💌 Control Connections: keep chats in the app until you trust someone, block and report anyone who makes you uncomfortable, and remove permissions the app doesn't need, such as contacts.

Who it's for

• Anyone new to online dating
• Daters coming back after a break who want a fresh, safer profile
• Anyone who has had a match know a little too much
• Parents helping adult children start dating safely

Why it works: it focuses on the few settings that actually reveal who you are and where you are, so you can stay open to the right matches without handing strangers a map to your door.
