Totally agree. That’s something I’ve been very mindful of from day one. The current focus is on professional networking, where the intrinsic risks tend to be lower, but it’s still important to get this right.

The app’s current features are designed to address those concerns: no exact location shown, full control over visibility, ability to leave short notes after matching (instead of forced chatting), blocking/reporting mechanisms, etc.

I’m approaching this very cautiously because the goal is to make intentional in-person networking feel safer and more natural, not to expose or pressure anyone. That said, I know this is a tricky space, and I’m very open to ideas or suggestions on how to make the privacy side even stronger.

Reading the initial introduction made be press back. Bells went off in my head. I must say that your focus on socializing is what made me first click; maybe try something local, group-social, and not so intimate?

Thanks, that’s really helpful. You’re right, the wording could give the wrong impression. The focus is on professional networking, not general socializing, but I see how leaning more toward local/group contexts would feel safer and fit better. I’ll definitely think about how to reflect that more clearly... appreciate it!
