Protecting Your Privacy While Dating Online

Privacy in dating is not secrecy. It is pacing — deciding what to reveal, and when.

Slow down the identifying details

Your surname, employer, neighbourhood, gym schedule and children's school are all easy to reveal accidentally. Photos give away more than text: a street sign, a uniform, a house number.

Keep conversations on the platform

Almora messages are private to the two people in a match. Moving early to another channel removes the protections and the record.

Use the controls you already have

Almora includes privacy settings for presence and last-seen visibility, premium badge display, discovery visibility and pausing your profile. Blocking is immediate and mutual — a blocked member cannot see your profile or your photos.

• Review your photos for background details before uploading
• Consider a separate email address for dating
• Pause your profile rather than deleting when you need a break

Be deliberate about search

Assume anything you say could be matched to a public profile elsewhere. That is not paranoia; it is simply how the internet works.

If something goes wrong

Block first, then report. If you feel unsafe outside the platform, contact your local authorities — and tell us, so we can act on the account.

Trust is earned in stages. Let information follow it, not lead it.
