Our commitment
Creating a safer dating experience for New Zealanders
Online dating should be positive and enjoyable. No dating service can guarantee that every interaction will be safe, so good technology needs to be supported by good judgement.
FindMyPerson is being designed with straightforward controls and guidance to help members date with more confidence.
- Clear community guidelines
- Simple reporting and blocking
- Privacy-conscious profile design
- Practical safety information for online and in-person dating
Dating safely
A few habits can make a big difference
Take time to get to know someone and stay in control of how quickly a new connection progresses.
Keep personal details private
Avoid sharing your home address, passwords, financial information or other sensitive details with someone you have just met.
Watch for requests for money
Be extremely cautious if someone asks for money, gift cards, transfers or financial help, regardless of the story they give.
Meet publicly at first
Choose a busy public place, arrange your own transport and tell a friend or family member where you are going.
Trust your judgement
If something feels wrong, end the conversation or date. You never owe someone continued contact.
Real people. Real connections.
Let’s keep our community safe, respectful and positive.
A better NZ dating community depends on all of us treating other members with honesty, kindness and respect.
♥ Be honest◎ Be respectful! Report concerns✓ Look out for each other
When something is more serious
FindMyPerson reporting tools are not an emergency service. If you believe you or someone else is in immediate danger, contact New Zealand emergency services on 111. Suspected fraud or criminal behaviour can also be reported to the appropriate New Zealand authorities.
