Safety and privacy
Thoughtful introductions require thoughtful safeguards.
Zugi is being designed around member-controlled sharing, private decisions, public first dates, clear reporting tools, and human review for serious concerns.
No dating service can guarantee another person’s identity, intentions, or behavior. Zugi’s safeguards are designed to support informed decisions and clear ways to get help.
Safety is part of the product, not an afterthought.
Adults only
Zugi is designed for adults age 18 and older. Age and identity-verification methods will be finalized before member access opens.
You control what is shared
Members review and approve profile information before it appears in an introduction.
Private decisions
Acceptance and declines remain private unless both people choose to meet.
Public first dates
Zugi recommends public venues for first meetings and does not suggest private homes or isolated locations.
Block and report
Members can block interaction and report concerns from introductions, messages, dates, feedback, and account settings.
Human review
AI may organize or summarize a report, but serious safety decisions require an identified human reviewer.
Privacy, permanently
Start with enough context, not unnecessary exposure.
Zugi never shares your surname, private address, email, workplace, social accounts, identity documents, private interview content, full availability, or staff notes with another member. This holds before matching, after mutual acceptance, during scheduling, at the meeting, after the date, and after the introduction closes.
Zugi coordinates a public meeting without exchanging personal contact details. After the date, phone numbers are shared only if both people privately choose to exchange them.

How a report is handled
- Blocking prevents new interaction without revealing who initiated it.
- Serious reports are assigned to trained human reviewers.
- Staff access to sensitive evidence is restricted and audited.
- AI may assist with triage but does not make final serious-case decisions.
- Evidence uploads will remain disabled until secure storage, validation, and malware scanning are connected and verified.
AI assists. People remain accountable.
AI may
- Categorize a report
- Identify potentially urgent language
- Summarize long descriptions
- Redact unnecessary private details
- Identify missing operational information
AI may not
- Decide that an allegation is true or false
- Permanently ban someone for a serious allegation
- Close a serious case without human review
- Diagnose a member
- Give emergency or clinical advice
- Infer intent from appearance, accent, identity, or background
Your information should remain yours to manage.
- Review and edit approved profile information
- Mark selected interview answers private
- Pause matching
- Control notification channels
- Request eligible data export
- Request deletion
- Withdraw optional consent
- Delete an incomplete interview
