Your safety, designed in.
Dating should feel exciting, not risky. Here's how Lamp is built to protect you, and how to look after yourself when you take a conversation into the real world.
Lamp keeps dating safer with AI moderation, instant block, unmatch and report, plus safe-dating guidance.
Safety built into the product
Real people, real profiles
Lamp is built around genuine connection, so we work to keep the community made up of real people. Our standards prohibit impersonation, stolen photos and fake profiles, and accounts that break them can be removed.
Smart moderation, day and night
Automated moderation reviews profile content and messages for anything that breaks our guidelines — harassment, explicit content and abuse — backed up by human review before action is taken.
Block, unmatch and report — any time
You're always in control of who can reach you. Unmatch, block and report from within a conversation. Reports go to our moderation team, and blocking immediately stops someone contacting you.
Your data and your privacy
We're transparent about what we collect and why. Your data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and you can delete your account and associated data at any time from within the app.
Meeting someone new, safely
A little preparation goes a long way. These habits are recommended by dating-safety experts and are worth keeping for every first meeting — on Lamp or anywhere else.
Keep personal details private at first
There's no rush to share your home address, workplace, financial details or daily routine. Keep early conversations on Lamp, and never send money to someone you haven't met.
Spot a scam a mile off
Trust your radar with anyone who professes strong feelings unusually fast, dodges video calls or meeting in person, tells a story that keeps shifting, or eventually steers things toward money, gift cards or an "investment."
Try a video call before you meet
A quick video chat is a low-pressure way to confirm someone is who they say they are and see whether the conversation flows in real life. If someone repeatedly refuses, treat that as information.
Meet in public, and make your own way there
For a first date, choose a busy public place, arrange your own transport there and back, and don't rely on your date for a lift. Stay sober enough to keep your wits about you.
Tell a friend where you'll be
Let someone you trust know who you're meeting, where, and when you expect to be home. Share your live location for the evening, and agree on a check-in time.
Trust your instincts
If something feels off — in a message or on a date — you don't owe anyone an explanation. Leave, block and report. Your comfort matters more than being polite.
If something ever doesn’t feel right
You’re in control at every step. Unmatch, block or report anyone in a tap, right from the chat — reports reach our moderation team, and blocking stops contact straight away. If a conversation ever feels off, trust that instinct and step away; you never owe anyone an explanation.
For anything urgent, contact your local emergency services. To flag something that happened on Lamp, use the in-app tools or email hello@lampdating.com— and if you think you’ve come across a scam, your national fraud-reporting service can help. Want the full playbook? Read our safe-dating guide.
Date with a little more peace of mind.
