Safety

Safe by design.

Every person on Crushwink is a verified adult, and every report is read by a real person. Here's how we keep it that way.

Verified selfies
Every member takes a live selfie that a real person checks against their photos before they appear in Discover.
Adults only
Crushwink is for people 18 and over. Always.
Block and report
Block anyone, anytime. It's permanent and works both ways. Reports go to a real person.
Many reports, hidden fast
If 3 different people report someone within a week, they're hidden right away. We aim to review within an hour.
What we flag
Links, money requests and nudity in photos get a closer look.
What we never read
We don't read your chats unless someone reports a conversation.
Photos stay blurred until you tap
Photos in chat are blurred until you tap (you can change this in Settings). If a photo looks explicit, we warn the sender before it's sent and keep it blurred for you, with one-tap report. View-once photos really are view once.
Hide anytime
Hide your profile from Discover whenever you like. Your chats keep working.
Fair bans, one appeal
Bans block the phone number and the device. Every ban can be appealed once and is reviewed by a different person.

Chat safety tips

1
Take your time. Get to know someone in the app before sharing your number or socials.
2
Never send money, gift cards or crypto, however good the story.
3
Be careful with links. If something feels off, it probably is.
4
Meet in a public place for the first few dates and tell a friend where you'll be.
5
Trust your instincts. You can unmatch at any time, and the other person isn't told.
