Safety Tips

On the App

Build your group with people you trust. Only add friends to your Greets group who you know and trust. Your group represents all of you — choose members who share your values.

Think before you share. Your profile is visible to other Greets users. Avoid putting your phone number, home address, school, or workplace in your bio or photos. Share personal details only when you’re comfortable and ideally in private chat.

Use Report and Block. If someone makes you uncomfortable, use the in-app Report or Block tools. You can report a profile, photo, or group at any time. Blocking someone removes them from your discovery feed and prevents them from contacting you.

Be careful in group chats. Messages, photos, voice notes, and locations shared in a group chat are visible to all members. Don’t share anything you wouldn’t want the whole group to see — or that could identify your home, school, or daily routine.

Watch for Red Flags

Be wary of users or groups who:

• Pressure you to move the conversation off Greets quickly
• Ask for money, gift cards, or financial information
• Refuse to meet as a group or insist on meeting alone
• Send unsolicited sexual content
• Have profiles that seem inconsistent or too good to be true

Meeting in Person

Always meet as a group, in a public place. When your group matches with another group and you decide to meet up, choose a busy, public location — a café, park, or event. Avoid private residences for first meetups.

Tell someone where you’re going. Let a friend or family member know where you’re going, who you’re meeting, and when you expect to be back. Share your live location with a trusted contact if you feel comfortable doing so.

Arrange your own transport. Travel to and from meetups independently. Don’t rely on people you’ve just met for a ride home.

Stay sober and alert. Keep your wits about you. Be cautious about accepting food or drinks from people you don’t know well.

Leave if you feel uncomfortable. You are never obliged to stay somewhere or with people who make you feel unsafe. It’s always okay to leave. Keep your phone charged and accessible.

For Users Under 18

If you are under 18:

• Talk to a parent or guardian about using Greets and about any plans to meet people in person
• Do not meet strangers alone — always go with your group and ideally with adult supervision for first meetups
• Do not share your school name, home address, or daily schedule in your profile or chats
• If an adult contacts you in a way that makes you uncomfortable, report them immediately and tell a trusted adult

Scams and Fraud

Greets will never ask you for money, passwords, or verification codes. Be suspicious of anyone who:

• Claims to be a Greets employee and asks for your login details
• Asks you to send money for any reason
• Sends links to external websites asking for personal or financial information

If Something Goes Wrong

In an emergency, call 999 (UK) or your local emergency number. Greets is not an emergency service and cannot respond to urgent situations in real time.
