We check identities, but we cannot be at your meeting. These are the habits that keep members and companions safe. They take a few minutes and they work.
In an emergency call 112. For women in distress, the national helpline is 181. For cyber fraud, call 1930 or report at cybercrime.gov.in. Then tell us, so we can suspend the account and preserve the records.
What our checks do and do not mean
- Verified badge: our team checked an identity document by hand and it matched the name and age on the profile. Companions also took a live selfie that we compared with that document.
- It is not a police verification, a background check or a character reference. Use your own judgement.
Before you meet
- Talk on WhatsApp or a call first. If somebody refuses any voice or video contact, be cautious.
- Agree the occasion, the place, the start time and the end time in writing.
- Look up the venue. Choose busy, public, well-lit places, especially for a first meeting.
- Share the profile name, the venue and your expected return time with a friend or family member.
- Never send money, an advance or a deposit to anybody. We never ask for payment outside the platform.
On the day
- Arrange your own transport both ways. Do not accept a pick-up from your home.
- Keep your phone charged and location sharing on with somebody you trust.
- Watch your drink and do not leave it unattended.
- Do not go to a private home, hotel room or a second, unplanned venue.
- If something feels wrong, leave. You do not owe anybody an explanation.
For companions in particular
- Your residential address is never shown. Do not share it, and do not meet near your home.
- Decline anything you are not comfortable with, before or during the meeting.
- You can pause your listing at any time from your dashboard.
- Report any member who asks for anything beyond companionship. We act on it immediately.
Protect your accounts and your money
- We will never ask for your password, OTP, UPI PIN or card details by phone, WhatsApp or email.
- Only pay on SaathWala itself, through the Razorpay checkout.
- Be wary of anybody who moves the conversation to another app and then asks for money, photographs or documents.
