Online dating should stay fun. At Tassena, member safety is an absolute priority. This guide gathers the essential best practices to enjoy your exchanges and dates with peace of mind.
1. Protect your profile and your data
- Never share your address, phone number or banking details in the first exchanges.
- Use a real first name but avoid putting your family name in your bio.
- Check that your photos do not reveal sensitive information (licence plate, address, work uniform).
- Pick a unique, long password (at least 12 characters).
2. Spot fake profiles and scams
Watch for these warning signs:
- Overly retouched photos or photos that look like a catalogue.
- Systematic refusal to make a video call.
- Very rapid declarations of love or a dramatic personal story.
- Requests for money, gift cards or transfers — whatever the reason.
- Wanting to immediately move the conversation to another app.
At the slightest doubt, use the Report button — our moderation team investigates every case.
3. Before the first date
- Chat enough on Tassena before meeting.
- Suggest a short video call to check the person matches their photos.
- Choose a public and lively place (café, restaurant, park); avoid meeting at home for a first date.
- Tell someone close the time, the place and who you're meeting.
- Share your live location with someone you trust.
4. During the date
- Keep your phone charged and within reach.
- Have your own transport for the outward and return trips.
- Never leave your drink unattended.
- Trust your instincts: if you feel uncomfortable, cut the date short — no guilt.
5. Consent and respect
Consent is free, informed, specific and revocable at any time. A date commits you to nothing. A no — verbal or non-verbal — must be respected immediately. Any pressure, insistence or blackmail is grounds for a report.
6. Digital safety after the date
- Do not share your social media accounts until trust is established.
- If the relationship ends, feel free to block the person to cut contact.
- Be careful with intimate photos: once sent, you lose control of them.
7. In case of a serious incident
- Emergencies (France) : 17 (police), 15 (ambulance), 112 (Europe).
- Violences femmes info : 3919 (anonymous, free).
- Cyber-harassment : 3018 (7 days a week, free).
