When your family would talk

What to keep off the profile when a parent, a sibling, or a community would recognise you.
A closed front door, with one coat on the hook.

A parent, a sibling, or a community is a different worry from a child finding the app. Keeping this from your children is that other page. This one is for when the people who would talk are adults, and they use your phone, your kitchen, or your name.

Leave their names off the profile, and leave the name of a church, a mosque, a gurdwara, or a community off it too. "I would rather my family did not come across this, and I live in Birmingham" is enough. You do not have to explain the family, and you do not have to pretend you have none.

Turn off lock-screen previews if someone else in the house picks up your phone. Sign out on any tablet that is not only yours. The first meeting stays in a public place, and it stays away from the house if they might walk in. Meeting someone safely is that plan. A job where you cannot be seen dating is the page when the risk is work rather than home.
