Meeting someone new should feel exciting—and safe.
We’ve built PlanB with your safety as a foundation. Here’s everything you need to know about how we protect you — and how you can protect yourself.
Your data
Privacy controls that put you in charge.
You decide what you share, who can see it, and when. These aren’t buried settings — they’re front and center.
Approximate location only
planB never shares your exact location. Other users see an approximate distance — never your address or precise coordinates.
Profile controls
You control what others can see. Manage your visibility, activity history, and what information is displayed on your profile.
Private by default
Your contact information, exact location, and personal details are never visible to other users without your explicit permission.
Private messaging
Conversations happen in private. Your chats are between you and the other person — not publicly visible on your profile.
Note: The specific privacy features available may vary as planB develops. This page describes our intended approach. Full details will be available in our Privacy Policy once the app launches.
Before you meet
Responsible meeting guide.
These aren’t just guidelines — they’re habits worth building whenever you meet someone new, online or offline.
Meet in a public place
For your first meeting, always choose a busy public location — a café, park, sports ground, or shopping area. Avoid private spaces until you've built trust.
Tell someone your plans
Let a friend or family member know where you're going, who you're meeting, and when you expect to be back. Share your location with them if you're comfortable.
Trust your instincts
If something feels off before or during a meeting, it's completely okay to cancel or leave. Your comfort and safety come first — no explanation required.
Keep personal details private
Don't share your home address, workplace, or financial information with someone you've just met on the app. Take your time before sharing personal details.
Arrange your own transport
For initial meetings, make your own way there and back. Having independent transport means you're in control of when you arrive and when you leave.
Check in with someone
During or after the meeting, send a quick message to someone you trust to let them know you're okay. A simple check-in goes a long way.
Our standards
Community guidelines.
planB is a community. These are the values that keep it safe and welcoming for everyone.
Be honest
Use your real identity. Don't misrepresent yourself, your intentions, or your plans.
Be respectful
Treat everyone with basic human decency. Harassment, discrimination, and abuse are not tolerated.
Be safe
Don't share content or engage in behaviour that could put yourself or others at risk.
Be genuine
planB is for real people who want to do real things together. No spam, no fake accounts, no manipulation.
