Trust & safety

Safe enough to be yourself

want is built so you can open up without being exposed, with verification, privacy, and consent running through every step.

Designed in, not bolted on

The principles that shape how want works, from your first introduction to every one after.

Identity verified

Every member verifies their identity before anyone talks. Government-issued ID, checked against a selfie. Real people, confirmed.

Private by default

Your profile isn't there to be browsed. Only your first name and a few basics show when you are introduced. Then it opens in layers: the reasons first, your voice next, photos after that.

Mutual, always

Nothing moves forward without a yes from both of you. That holds for dating, and for friendship, which is opening in waves, starting with a founding group.

Zero tolerance

Harassment, impersonation, and bad-faith behaviour get accounts removed. Reports are reviewed by our team.

Human support

Report something and it goes to our team for review. Robyn guides you in the app, and safety is handled by us.

A trusted community

Identity checks keep it real. Our house rules keep it kind. Anyone who breaks that trust, or the spirit of want, doesn't stay.
