However, following a few simple tips will make for a safer, more enjoyable experience:

Profiles

Never put personal details in your profile or initial messages such as phone number, email address, home address or place of work.

Don't post anything that may make it easy for a stranger to find you - where you live/hang out etc.

Be honest with your profile - if you're serious about meeting new people, it is always better to be yourself.

Avoid posting anything that may embarass you later - eg a photo you wouldn't want your lecturers/parents/future boss to see!

Messages

Make use of our online messaging system. This will not display any confidential information about you and will not display your email address.

The messaging system should allow you to get to know other Indiecation members without needing to disclose any personal information.

You can only contact other members when you have given them a positive rating (a green smiley face).

You can prevent another member from contacting you at any time by withdrawing your positive rating for that person.

If at any point you feel uncomfortable about a member, stop contacting them and withdraw your positive rating for that member.

If you feel someone has sent you inappropriate messages or is abusing the messaging service, tell us immediately.

Avoid meeting people in person whom you do not fully know. If you must meet someone, do it in a public place.

If you follow the simple tips above, you will have a safer and more fun experience with Indiecation.co.uk.
