Dating Safety Disclosures

Effective November 10, 2026 · Last updated November 10, 2026

Draft, pending legal review. This document is a working draft prepared for MeantMee's launch and has not yet been approved by counsel. It is not final and may change.

MeantMee does not conduct criminal background checks or identity verification on its members. Photo verification, where you see a verified badge, only confirms that a live selfie matched the member's photos at the time; it does not verify identity, age, or criminal history. You are responsible for your safety when meeting anyone.

1. Texas

Under the Texas Business and Commerce Code, Chapter 106 (Online Dating Services), MeantMee discloses that it does not conduct criminal background screenings of its members. We provide the safety awareness notification below to Texas members.

2. New York

Under New York General Business Law §394-cc, MeantMee provides the online dating safety awareness information below to New York members. MeantMee does not conduct background checks on members.

3. New Jersey

Under the New Jersey Internet Dating Safety Act (N.J.S.A. 56:8-168 et seq.), MeantMee discloses that it has not conducted criminal background screenings of its members. Background screenings, where offered by any service, have limitations, may give a false sense of security, and are not a substitute for safety precautions.

5. Safety awareness notification

Anyone who can commit identity theft or fraud can create a dating profile. Please follow these precautions:

  • Do not send money or financial information to anyone you meet online, for any reason.
  • Protect your personal information: your home address, workplace, daily schedule, and financial details.
  • Meet in public, tell a friend or family member where you're going and when you expect to be back (use Share My Date), and arrange your own transportation.
  • Stay sober enough to make good decisions, and never leave your drink unattended.
  • Be cautious about moving the conversation off MeantMee quickly or sharing photos you wouldn't want made public.
  • Trust your instincts. If something feels off, leave, and report the person to us.
  • If you are in danger, call 911. For sexual assault support, call the RAINN National Sexual Assault Hotline at 800-656-4673.
