While sites like ours have defenses in place to help weed out people that are disrespectful, risks, and not real, it is still essential to keep in mind that no system is perfect, and each person using a phone dating service needs to do their due diligence and be proactive in making sure that both of themselves and their personal information are safe.
Keeping yourself safe on phone dating services is crucial. Some people choose not to upload pictures of themselves because they do not want to be identified, and that is a personal choice to decide upon. There are other ways, however, to increase your safety while also posting a picture or two of yourself.
First off, keep in mind that there are reverse image searches available on the internet. This can impact which pictures people decide to post not only on phone dating profiles, but also online profiles, social media accounts, and places that may allow people to get additional information about them that they do not want to have public.
Taking new pictures for each account can help. Also keep in mind that sites that have you log into your account with a password might not post your information where can be accessed by the public. These sites, including ours, are not likely to be subject to reverse image searches.
Secondly, take the time to make sure that there are no identifying things about you or your specific location in the pictures that you post. If you are a student at a university, for example, pictures of a school hoodie could give people information that you may not want to be public at an early juncture.
Posts that have your workplace are also recommended to be avoided. The same goes for pictures that may have the address or name of your home or apartment complex in the background.
Privacy and anonymity are fantastic benefits of phone dating hotlines like ours. Take precautions and have a safe dating experience. What you’re are looking for is a few quick phone calls away.
