string (n.): a thread that ties two things together.
Meeting someone new should feel good, not risky. Every date arranged through String carries a few quiet safeguards, most of which you'll hopefully never need to think about.
Before a date, set a deadline. If you don't confirm you're safe by then, we text the emergency contact you chose.
Your emergency contact gets a link to where you are, for as long as you choose to share it, not a moment longer.
Every photo you upload is screened before it's visible to anyone else.
Every account is tied to a verified phone number before it can match with anyone.
Both are built in and easy to find. Accounts with repeated reports are frozen for review, not quietly ignored.
How the check-in works
These tools are designed to reduce risk. They can't eliminate it. Phones die, signals drop, plans change. Tell someone where you're going regardless, and if you're ever in immediate danger, call emergency services. The full terms are in our Terms of Service.
