Your safety
Circles hold some of the most vulnerable moments in people’s lives. Here is how we protect them.
If you are in danger
SupportMeet is peer support, not an emergency service. If you might harm yourself or someone else, or you are in danger, call your local emergency number or a crisis line now.
What we do
- When a story or message suggests someone may be at risk, crisis lines for their country appear immediately, privately, and our team is alerted.
- Every message has Report and Block. Reports about risk or danger go to the top of our queue.
- New members cannot post links during their first day, which stops most spam and scams.
- You choose your name. Your email is never shown. Members see a short, de-identified summary of your story unless you choose to share more.
- Private messages are limited to people who share a circle with you, start as requests, and can be turned off entirely in Settings.
Protect yourself
- Never send money to someone you met here, and be wary of anyone who asks for it, offers miracle cures, or moves you to another app quickly.
- Think twice before sharing your full name, address, workplace or photos.
- Advice from members comes from lived experience, not professional training. Check medical, legal and financial decisions with a professional.
