Safety

Staying safe

Damson is for meeting real people, and most people are genuine — but you're meeting strangers. A few habits keep it fun and safe.

Before you meet

Chat inside the app until you trust someone — you keep control and can block instantly.
Voice or video call first. It's the fastest way to confirm someone is who they say.
Tell a friend who you're meeting, where, and when — and when you expect to be back.
Do a quick search of their name or photos if anything feels off.

Protect your information

Never send money, gift cards, or financial details — no matter the story. That's the #1 scam.
Keep your home and work address private until you genuinely trust someone.
Be wary of anyone who rushes intimacy, refuses to video chat, or asks to move to another app right away.

When you meet

Meet in a public place the first time, and stay in public until you're comfortable.
Arrange your own transport there and back so you can leave whenever you want.
Stay in control — know your limit with alcohol or substances, and keep your phone charged.
Trust your gut. If something feels wrong, leave. You never owe anyone an explanation.

Consent & respect

Consent is enthusiastic, ongoing, and can be withdrawn at any time.
Respect a “no” immediately. Someone who's intoxicated can't consent.
Talk about boundaries and protection beforehand — it's normal, and it's hot to be clear.

If something goes wrong

Block and report from any chat or profile (tap the ⋯ menu). Reports are confidential.
In an emergency, contact your local emergency services immediately (911 in the US).
Report threats, assault, or crimes to local authorities — and to us, so we can act on the account.

We can't vet people for you

Damson does not run criminal background checks. Verification confirms a live selfie matches the profile — it is not a character reference. These steps are your first line of safety. Look out for yourself, and for each other.
