How Zera protects you

Built in, from day one.

  • Photo verification. Members verify with a live selfie, so the person you meet looks like their photos. Look for the verified badge.
  • Get to know them first. Voice and video answers let you hear and see someone before you meet.
  • Your number stays private. Phone numbers are only shared on the day of a date, and only if you both choose to.
  • A safety check-in after every date. Zera checks that you got home safely.
  • Real people review reports. Report anyone from their profile or your chat. A real person looks at every report.

Before and during your date

Simple habits that keep you safe.

  1. Meet somewhere public. A café, restaurant or busy park. Never at home for a first date.
  2. Tell a friend. Share where you’re going and who you’re meeting. Zera can create a link with the details for a friend.
  3. Get yourself there and back. Drive yourself or use a rideshare, so you can leave whenever you want.
  4. Stay in control. Keep an eye on your drink and your belongings, and go easy on alcohol.
  5. Trust your gut. If something feels off, it’s fine to leave. You don’t owe anyone an explanation.

Red flags

Report it if someone…

  • Asks for money, gift cards, crypto or help with an “emergency.” Never send money to someone you met online.
  • Pushes to move the chat off Zera right away, or won’t do a voice or video answer.
  • Pressures you to meet somewhere private, or to share your address.
  • Is disrespectful, sexual or threatening in any way.

Zera is not an emergency service. If you are in danger, call 911 or your local emergency number.
