Safety Tips

Your safety is our top priority at Vivahik. We are committed to providing a secure and trustworthy platform for finding your life partner. This guide contains essential safety tips to help you navigate your matrimonial journey safely and confidently. Please read these guidelines carefully and follow them to ensure a safe and positive experience on our platform.

Online Safety Guidelines

Follow these essential guidelines to protect yourself while using our platform:

  • Keep Personal Information Private: Never share sensitive information like your home address, work address, financial details, or passwords with anyone you meet online, even if they seem trustworthy.
  • Use Our Secure Messaging: Always communicate through our platform's messaging system initially. This helps protect your privacy and allows us to monitor for suspicious activity.
  • Verify Profile Authenticity: Look for verified badges on profiles. Verified profiles have undergone our authentication process and are more trustworthy.
  • Trust Your Instincts: If something feels off or too good to be true, it probably is. Trust your gut feelings and proceed with caution.
  • Report Suspicious Behavior: If you encounter any suspicious profiles or behavior, report it immediately using our reporting feature or contact our support team.

Profile Safety

Protect your profile and personal information:

  • Use Strong Passwords: Create a unique, strong password for your Vivahik account. Use a combination of letters, numbers, and special characters.
  • Control Your Privacy Settings: Review and adjust your privacy settings regularly. Decide who can view your profile and contact information.
  • Be Selective with Photos: Share appropriate photos that don't reveal sensitive information like your home address, license plates, or workplace details.
  • Don't Share Contact Details Too Early: Wait until you've built trust and verified the person's identity before sharing your phone number or email address.
  • Keep Your Profile Updated: Regularly review and update your profile information to ensure accuracy and remove any outdated details.

Communication Safety

Stay safe while communicating with potential matches:

  • Start with Our Platform: Use our in-app messaging system for initial conversations. This keeps your personal contact information private.
  • Take Your Time: Don't rush into sharing personal information. Take time to get to know the person through multiple conversations.
  • Watch for Red Flags: Be cautious if someone asks for money, avoids video calls, refuses to meet in person, or seems too good to be true.
  • Video Call Before Meeting: Always have a video call before meeting in person to verify the person's identity and ensure they match their profile.
  • Be Wary of Requests for Money: Never send money, gift cards, or financial assistance to anyone you meet online, regardless of their story.

Meeting in Person Safety

When you're ready to meet someone in person, follow these safety guidelines:

  • Meet in a Public Place: Always choose a public, well-lit location for your first meeting, such as a café, restaurant, or park.
  • Tell Someone About Your Plans: Inform a family member or friend about your meeting plans, including the person's name, meeting location, and expected duration.
  • Arrange Your Own Transportation: Use your own transportation or a trusted ride-sharing service. Don't accept rides from someone you're meeting for the first time.
  • Keep Your Phone Charged: Ensure your phone is fully charged and keep it with you at all times during the meeting.
  • Don't Share Your Address: Never share your home address or invite someone to your home on the first meeting.
  • Trust Your Instincts: If you feel uncomfortable at any point, politely excuse yourself and leave. Your safety is more important than being polite.
  • Stay Sober: Avoid excessive alcohol consumption during your first meeting to maintain clear judgment and awareness.

Financial Safety

Protect yourself from financial scams:

  • Never Send Money: Never send money, wire transfers, or gift cards to anyone you meet on our platform, regardless of their story or situation.
  • Beware of Emergency Stories: Scammers often create fake emergencies to request money. Be suspicious of anyone asking for financial help.
  • Don't Share Financial Information: Never share your bank account details, credit card information, or any financial documents with anyone.
  • Be Cautious of Investment Opportunities: Be wary of anyone offering investment opportunities or asking you to invest in their business.
  • Report Financial Requests: If someone asks you for money, report them immediately to our support team and block their profile.

Privacy Protection

Protect your privacy and personal information:

  • Review Privacy Settings Regularly: Check your privacy settings periodically to ensure they match your preferences.
  • Be Mindful of Social Media: Be cautious about connecting on social media too early. Review your social media privacy settings if you do connect.
  • Don't Share Personal Documents: Never share copies of your ID, passport, or other personal documents with anyone you meet online.
  • Use a Separate Email: Consider using a separate email address for online dating to protect your primary email account.
  • Be Careful with Location Sharing: Avoid sharing your exact location or daily routine details until you've built significant trust.
