Safety Guidance

Ensuring the safety of our members is a top priority for us. Please dedicate a few minutes to familiarize yourself with the following safety measures while using Sangat Matrimonial. These guidelines are designed to help you protect yourself and your information.

**Protect Your Financial Information**:

Do not heed any requests for money transfers, even in supposed emergencies, and report such requests to us right away. You should never disclose financial details like your credit card or bank account numbers.

**Safeguard Your Personal Information**:

You have full control over your Sangat Matrimonial experience. Stay anonymous until you feel confident enough to share your identity. Be cautious about divulging personal details too soon. Additionally, avoid including personal contact info in your Sangat Matrimonial profile. We will never ask for your login credentials via email. Report any such requests immediately.

**Recognize Scam Indicators**:

Be wary of individuals who:
– Solicit funds from you.
– Disappear and return under a new alias.
– Request your home address under the pretext of sending gifts.

**Reporting Suspicious Behavior**:

It’s crucial to report users who breach our terms of use. Violations include:
– Solicitations for money or donations.
– Users appearing to be below 18 years of age.
– Sending harassing or offensive messages.
– Inappropriate behavior after in-person meetings.
– Fake profiles.
– Spamming or soliciting, including advertising goods or services.

**Guidelines for In-Person Meetings**:

While meeting someone new is thrilling, safety should always come first. Here are some precautions to follow:
– Spend time getting to know the person online before meeting them offline.
– Opt for public spaces for your first meeting—never a secluded or private spot, and certainly not your residence.
– Inform a friend or a family member about your meet-up details: who you’re meeting, the meeting place, and your expected return time. Carry your phone along.
– Arrange your transportation to and from the meeting point. Having control over your transportation is vital, even if it means using a taxi service. Do not accept rides from someone you haven’t grown to trust, particularly during your initial meet-up.
