Safety Centre
Your safety is non-negotiable.
CRAVE is built for adults who want to explore with confidence. Here’s how we protect our community – and how you can protect yourself.
Built-in protection
Tools that put you in control
Every photo moderated
Our team reviews every photo before it goes live. Location data is stripped from every upload.
Report in two taps
Report any profile, photo, Quickie or message. Reports are confidential and reviewed by real people.
Block & unmatch
Block anyone, any time. They won’t be told and they won’t be able to see you or contact you.
Verified badges
Look for the Verified badge – members who have confirmed they’re the person in their photos.
Vouches from real meet-ups
See what other members say after meeting someone in person before you say yes.
18+ and private by design
Adults only, approximate distances only, no contact details in public profiles, and Incognito mode.
How moderation works
Real people, reviewing every photo
Photos don't go live until our moderation team has approved them. Public photos must be non-explicit, private photos are blurred for anyone without CRAVE+, and we strip location data from every upload. Reports are reviewed by our team – with anything involving a possible minor or a risk of harm handled first.
- 1UploadYou add a photo. It’s resized, and metadata such as GPS location is removed.
- 2ReviewOur moderators check it against our Community Guidelines.
- 3LiveApproved photos go live and you’re notified. Rejected photos are deleted.
- 4OngoingAny member can report a photo at any time, and we act fast.
Meeting up
Six habits of safe daters
- 01
Keep it in the app
Chat on CRAVE until you’re comfortable. Don’t share your address, workplace or financial details early on.
- 02
Video call first
A quick video call is the easiest way to confirm someone is who they say they are.
- 03
Meet in public
First meet-ups belong in a busy café or bar – never at home – and arrange your own transport.
- 04
Tell a friend
Share who you’re meeting, where and when, and arrange a check-in call.
- 05
Never send money
No genuine member will ask you for money, gift cards or crypto. Report anyone who does.
- 06
Consent, always
Clear, enthusiastic and ongoing – and anyone can change their mind at any time.
Report a concern
See something? Say something.
Tap the menu on any profile, photo, Quickie or chat and choose Report. Pick a reason – including Appears Under 18 – and our team will review it. The member won't know who reported them.
