YZZY connects you with a variety of users and creators. While our platform fosters positive interactions, your safety is paramount. Make sure to read the following guidelines so you can have productive and secure offline interactions through the YZZY app.
Before the meeting
- Stay in-App
Stick to the chat functionality within the YZZY app. Avoid sharing personal contact details like email or social media profiles. - Evaluate your interactions
Reflect on your online conversations with the user. Were they polite? They asked for any unusual personal details, payment, or personal information. - Be Cautious with Phone Numbers
Avoid sharing your phone number unless it’s necessary. - Never Share
- Home or work address
- ID, social security number, driver's license, passport, etc
- Phone numbers (home/work landline, mobile)
- Bank or payment details (according to our ToS payments should be processed only through the app). Only in this case, our support team can assist with any payment-related issues.)
Preparing for the Meetup
- Try search engines to learn more about the person you're meeting. Do they have a profile picture? Consider a reverse image search for verification.
- Inform a trusted friend or family member about the meeting location, and meeting schedule.
- Keep your phone charged and consider using a tracking app for added security.
- Ask for a friend or use your method of transportation to get to the location
- Research the meeting location beforehand, including information about the neighborhood, by arriving early.
- Propose recording the meeting for your safety. If you're hosting the meeting at your location and have CCTV cameras, enable recording during the meetup.
In general:
- Trust Your Gut! If you feel uncomfortable with the location, conversation, or a participant's behavior (intoxication, etc.), politely excuse yourself and leave.
- Make sure to keep your belongings secure and avoid leaving food or drinks unattended.
