Verification & Protection Features

Layers of Trust

We don't ask for your real name, home address, or other personally identifying information. Instead, we've created verification systems that confirm authenticity while preserving your privacy.

REAL Verification (Photo Verification)

Our REAL verification confirms members are who they say they are by having them submit a photo in a specific pose while holding a handwritten sign. Every submission is manually reviewed by a human on our team—no automated systems. This helps you know you're talking to the actual person in the pictures, not a catfish using stolen photos.

Look for the REAL verification badge on profiles.

VIP Verification (Verified In Person)

Our highest level of verification—VIP stands for "Verified In Person." This means the member has met face-to-face with Swingular admins or one of our trusted local hosts in their area. They have been personally confirmed to be who they claim to be by someone in our team.

VIP badges indicate the highest level of trust—these members have been verified by real people, in person.

Age Verification

All members must be 18+. Our age verification systems help ensure our community remains a safe space for consenting adults only.

Blocking & Reporting

If someone makes you uncomfortable, you have immediate tools to protect yourself:

Blocking

• Immediate effect
• They cannot message you
• They cannot view your profile
• They don't know they're blocked
• You can unblock later if needed

Reporting

• Alerts our moderation team
• Helps protect others
• Anonymous to the reported user
• May result in account action
• Patterns are tracked

Important Reminder

Blocking and reporting only work within Swingular. Once you've shared your personal phone number, email, or social media, blocking someone here won't stop them from contacting you elsewhere.
