The Urgent Need for Personal Safety in Modern Interactions
In an increasingly connected world, real-world interactions are more common than ever. Yet, concerns about personal safety remain a significant challenge for many.
Meeting Strangers & Online Dating Safety
A 2021 study revealed that three out of four people experienced sexual violence facilitated by dating apps. For more details, see NSVRC statistics. Furthermore, 1 in 3 survey respondents were subjected to in-person sexual violence after meeting someone through a dating app or website. These statistics highlight the critical need for safety tools when meeting new people from online platforms.
The Reality of Acquaintance Violence
While often overlooked, approximately 8 out of 10 cases of sexual assault involve a perpetrator known to the victim. Learn more about sexual violence prevention from the CDC. This underscores that danger isn't always from a stranger, but can arise in social or dating contexts, making proactive safety measures essential for all interactions.
Understanding the Risks
Sexual Violence Is Alarmingly Common
- 1 in 5 women and nearly 1 in 4 men in the U.S. have experienced contact sexual violence.
- 8 out of 10 sexual assaults involve someone the victim knows.
- Over 463,000 people (age 12+) are raped or sexually assaulted each year in the U.S.
- The lifetime cost of rape per victim is estimated at $122,461.
SafeMeet addresses these critical vulnerabilities by providing a reliable, discreet, and powerful safety net, ensuring you can navigate your social life with greater confidence and peace of mind.
Our Mission: Confidence in Every Connection
In today’s world, meeting new people—whether through dating apps, social events, or professional networking—comes with real risks. Studies show that 1 in 3 people have experienced sexual violence after meeting someone online, and most assaults aren’t committed by strangers, but by acquaintances. SafeMeet exists to change that narrative.
From Concern to Confidence
Connecting with new people can be exciting, but it's natural to have concerns. Whether it's a first date, meeting a new acquaintance, or simply navigating unfamiliar surroundings, feeling uneasy or vulnerable is a valid concern.
SafeMeet was created to empower you in these moments. Our app works quietly in the background, providing a smart safety net. With customizable manual check-ins that trigger an automated protocol if missed, instant alerts with your live location, and discreet voice recording for trusted contacts, SafeMeet helps you feel supported and confident in your real-world interactions.
How SafeMeet Works: Your Steps to Enhanced Safety
Please note: SafeMeet requires an active internet connection to function and connect to our servers for real-time alerts and location sharing.
SafeMeet in Action: Real-World Scenarios
See how SafeMeet enhances safety, whether your meetup goes smoothly or takes an unexpected turn.
Scenario 1: A Smooth Meetup
A Smooth Start
Sarah is meeting someone new for coffee. She opens SafeMeet, sets the coffee shop's location, a 2-hour session with 30-minute check-in prompts, and adds her sister, Emily, as a trusted contact. She also enables discreet voice recording.
During the Session: Responding to Prompts
As the conversation flows, SafeMeet sends Sarah discreet notifications reminding her to manually check in. Each time, she simply taps "I'm OK." Her live location is continuously shared with Emily (as they are friends in the app and have enabled this optional setting), giving Emily peace of mind without needing to actively monitor.
Ending Safely
The meetup concludes positively. Sarah ends the session in the app, adds a quick note about the date, and SafeMeet logs the entire session in her private history. No alerts were needed, and both Sarah and Emily feel reassured by the safety net that was in place.
Scenario 2: When Things Go Wrong
An Uneasy Start
Just like before, Sarah sets up her SafeMeet session for a coffee meetup, adding Emily as her trusted contact and enabling voice recording (all optional settings).
Missed Check-in & Initial Panic
During the meetup, the situation becomes uncomfortable, and Sarah is unable to respond to a check-in prompt. SafeMeet immediately sends a notification to her phone: "You missed your check-in! Confirm you're safe now or an alert will be sent soon." A 60-second grace period begins. At this point, Emily receives an urgent SMS alert with Sarah's meetup details (if enabled), last known location, and a direct map link.
Grace Period Expired & Final Panic
If you still don't respond after the initial alert and grace period, the protocol escalates to "Final Panic." At this stage, if enabled in your settings, a discreet voice recording begins and is securely uploaded. Emily then receives an updated alert, which now includes a link to this voice recording, providing crucial additional context.
Trusted Contact Response
Emily, seeing the escalated alert and hearing the audio, immediately calls Sarah. If Sarah doesn't answer, Emily has all the critical information (live location, address, and audio context) to contact emergency services or go to Sarah's location, knowing exactly where and what is happening.
SafeMeet's Impact & Customization
This scenario highlights SafeMeet's crucial role as an automated safety net. Even when a user cannot act, the app ensures that their trusted network is immediately informed and equipped with vital information to provide assistance, significantly increasing the chances of a positive outcome. Remember, all features, including location sharing, meetup details, and voice recording, are optional and can be enabled or disabled by the user for a tailored safety experience.
Proactive Safety Tips for Every Meetup
Choose Public & Safe Meetup Locations
Always meet in well-lit, public places with other people around, like a bustling coffee shop, a busy restaurant, or a public park. Avoid secluded or private settings for initial meetings. SafeMeet's integrated location search helps you find and log safe spots.
Share Your Plans with Trusted Contacts
Inform a trusted friend or family member about your meetup details, including the location, the name of the person you're meeting, and your expected return time. SafeMeet automates sharing your live location and alerts with your chosen contacts, providing peace of mind to your safety network.
Arrange Independent Transport & Exit Strategy
Ensure you have a reliable way to get to and from your meetup independently. Avoid relying on the other person for transportation, especially for your first encounter. Always have a clear exit strategy in mind, and let your trusted contacts know your plan.
Keep Your Phone Charged & Accessible
Make sure your phone is fully charged before you leave, and have a power bank if possible. Keep it easily accessible throughout your meetup in case you need to activate an alert or access SafeMeet's discreet safety features.
