Before connecting
- Keep legal identity, address, workplace and financial information private until trust is established.
- Never send money, gift cards, cryptocurrency, banking credentials or identity documents to someone you met through UpCliq.
- Be cautious when someone pressures you to leave the platform immediately, avoids reasonable verification or creates an urgent financial story.
Video messages
Video messages must be optional, short, consent-based and available only in an appropriate connection context. Do not record or redistribute another person’s video without clear permission. Sexual content, threats, humiliation, impersonation and synthetic media presented as authentic are prohibited.
Meeting in person
- Meet in a populated public place and arrange your own transportation.
- Tell a trusted person where you are going and when you expect to return.
- Keep your phone charged and avoid becoming impaired.
- Leave if you feel pressured or unsafe. You do not owe anyone politeness at the expense of safety.
Consent
Consent must be freely given, informed, specific, ongoing and reversible. Past consent, a match, flirting, travel, gifts or alcohol do not create future consent. A person who is unconscious, incapacitated or unable to understand cannot consent.
Report or block
Block unwanted contact and report behaviour that may endanger you or others. Preserve relevant messages or details if safe to do so. During the controlled pilot, you may also email support@upcliq.net with “Dating safety report” in the subject line. For immediate danger, contact local emergency services. UpCliq is not an emergency-response service.
