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.

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.
