Ensuring the Protection of Personal Details
Being careful about sharing personal details is important. Do not tell people your important info like your social security number, where you live or work, and your daily routine, especially if you do not know them well.
If you are a parent, it is smart to be careful about what you say about your kids. Do not share them private stuff like names, school names, or how old they are, especially in profiles or when you are just talking to someone for the first time. This helps protect your kids' privacy and keeps them safe.
We recommend keeping certain personal information private, such as your workplace and financial information. GleeMeet will keep your precise location private. For other users, we will only display the city you reside in and an approximate distance from you. If the distance is less than 5 km, it will appear as 5 km without disclosing your precise geolocation. Please note that users cannot adjust location privacy settings or control what profile details are visible to others. To keep specific information hidden, simply refrain from adding those details to your profile Always be cautious if someone asks you to provide personal information or money, even if they appear friendly.
Scammers often use tactics such as fake emergencies, promises of quick relationships, or emotional manipulation. GleeMeet will never ask for your financial information through personal messages.
Remaining Within the GleeMeet Ecosystem
For a secure experience, it is recommended to conduct your conversations exclusively within the GleeMeet platform when you are in the process of getting acquainted with someone. Be cautious of individuals who encourage shifting the conversation to external channels like text, messaging apps, email, or phone calls during the early stages, as these actions can sometimes be indicative of ill intentions.
When you stick to chatting on GleeMeet, you are making sure your interaction is safer. These filters add an extra layer of security and make you feel more comfortable while you talk. Exercising Prudence Regarding Long-Distance and International Relationships Vigilance is key when engaging with individuals who assert they are from your country but find themselves stranded abroad, particularly if they request financial support to facilitate their return home.
It is advisable to exercise caution if someone is reluctant to meet face-to-face or participate in a phone or video call. These behaviors might indicate that the person's identity is not as they present it. Hastening into a deep relationship without the foundation of a thorough acquaintance should serve as a significant cautionary signal.
Exercising Caution in Long-Distance and International Relationships
When you are talking to people who say they are from your country but are far away and ask for money to come back home, it is important to be careful. Be cautious if someone does not want to meet in person or does not want to talk on the phone or through video calls. These actions could mean they are not being honest about who they are.
Also, if someone wants to get close quickly without really knowing each other, you should be careful too. It could be a sign that something is not right. So, take your time and be cautious when things seem too rushed.
Safeguarding Your Account
1. Choose an Unpredictable Password. It is crucial to create a password that is both strong and unique. opt for a combination of upper- and lower-case letters, numbers, and special characters. This practice significantly enhances the security of your account by making it more resistant to unauthorized access. Avoid using easily guessable information like birth dates or common words.
2. For added security, be cautious of suspicious messages or links asking for your account information. If you suspect your account has been compromised, please visit our support page at hacked for guidance on securing your account and reporting any unauthorized activity GleeMeet support immediately.
3. Be Cautious while using Shared Computers When accessing your GleeMeet account from public or shared computers, exercise caution. Ensure that you log out completely after your session to prevent unauthorized access by subsequent users. Better yet, avoid using shared computers for sensitive activities altogether, as they may have compromised security.

Be mindful of potential phishing attempts, where malicious actors attempt to deceive you into divulging your account information. It's essential to remember that GleeMeet will never send you an email requesting your username and password. If you happen to receive such an email, promptly report it to GleeMeet's support team or the appropriate channels. Always verify the authenticity of emails by checking the sender's email address and looking for any suspicious elements within the message.
Safe In-Person Meetings

Before you decide to meet in person or start talking outside of the current platform, it's a good idea to spend time really getting to know the other person.

You can make things safer by having a phone call or video chat before actually meeting face-to-face.
2. Choose Public Meeting Spots
