How Does CatholicMatch Keep Me Safe?

Safety is among our highest priorities at CatholicMatch.

We go to great lengths to provide a safe place to meet other single Catholics.

Our security system runs 24/7 and scans all accounts for traits and behaviors that are common in scammers and others who join dating websites with malicious intentions.

Accounts that exhibit any red flags are held for a staff review and are then removed if they fail to pass these checkpoints.

While we do take all available precautions to keep malicious users off of CatholicMatch, our security system can only keep you safe as long as you are on the CatholicMatch website. 

Because of this, we ask that you keep your conversations with other members on the safety of the CatholicMatch website for at least a week before you begin exchanging off site contact information. This way, our security system has the time necessary to perform all checkpoints to keep you safe.  

What can I do to stay safe online?

1. Take your time when getting to know someone online.
2. Don't reveal personal details too quickly. This includes your address, the name of your employer, details about family members, your email address, phone number, last name, and any other information that can be used to search for information online.
3. Go with your gut feelings. If something doesn't seem right, it probably isn't.
4. Never send, accept, or transfer funds for anyone who you haven't met in person, no matter how convincing they may be.
5. Contact customer support at support@catholicmatch.com with any suspicions so that our security team can investigate.

Suspicious traits to look out for:

If you're communicating with someone and he or she possesses one or more of these traits, it's definitely worth reporting to our support team.

• Quick to show affection.
• Tries to move the conversation offsite very quickly.
• Isn't familiar with specific events or attractions in the location shown in their profile.
• Is travelling for work and cannot meet in person for many months.
