HUMANS

Safety

Last updated: July 2026 · DRAFT pending legal review

HUMANS is built to be calmer and safer than typical dating apps: no swiping, no public profiles, and chat only after a mutual yes. Still, meeting new people carries risk. Please read this.

Our safety measures

  • Report any message or person, and block anyone, at any time. A block takes effect at once, is permanent, and prevents re-matching.
  • Messages are filtered before delivery: slurs, threats, sexual content involving minors and unsolicited explicit messages are never sent.
  • A person on our team reviews every report and every block within 24 hours, removes content that breaks our Terms, and removes the account that posted it.
  • Rate limiting and automated abuse detection.
  • No public profiles and no browsing. Only a person we propose you to sees your photos and first name; your last name and contact details are never shown, and chat opens only after a mutual yes.
  • Chat is text only.

Important: no background checks

HUMANS does not conduct criminal background screenings on its members.

We do not verify members through criminal background checks. Identity verification, if we add it later, is not the same as a background check. Take the same care you would meeting anyone new.

Before you meet

  • Be cautious with anyone who asks for money. Never send money or financial details to someone you have not met.
  • Watch for fake profiles and stories that do not add up.
  • Keep conversations in the app before sharing your phone number or personal details.
  • Tell a friend or family member where you are going before meeting someone.
  • Meet in a public place, and arrange your own transportation.
  • Do not share identifying or financial information you would not want a stranger to have.

If you need help

If you or someone you know is in crisis, see our crisis protocol or call your local emergency number. To report a safety or child-safety concern, use the report control in the app or our contact page. Child safety: our standards.
