Koreadating provides reporting and blocking tools and safety guidance to help users make informed decisions. No online platform can prevent every scam, fake profile, or harmful interaction. Please remain cautious, independently confirm who you are communicating with, and report suspicious activity.
Our Safety Commitment
🛡️ Multi-Layer Protection
Available safety measures may include automated tools, report review, account restrictions, and community reporting. These measures reduce certain risks but do not guarantee that every harmful account or message will be detected.
🔍 Proactive Monitoring
Automated systems may analyze certain content or account signals to help identify potentially suspicious activity. Automated detection is limited and can make mistakes.
👥 Human Oversight
Reports may be reviewed and investigated based on the information available, the seriousness of the concern, and operational capacity.
⚡ Rapid Response
We aim to review reports as promptly as reasonably possible, but no specific response or resolution time is guaranteed. Contact local emergency services if there is an immediate threat.

🤖 AI Content Moderation
- Image Signals: Automated tools may flag certain potentially inappropriate images for further action.
- Text Signals: Automated tools may flag certain harmful language or spam patterns.
