Dating safety

Background check before a date

You matched on an app. You know a first name, a job title, and four photos. That is not much to go on before meeting a stranger. A Proofile dossier takes the name you have and pulls together everything public about that person, so you know who is walking through the door.

What you get before you meet

How long it takes

Type the name, pick the right person from the list we show you, and the free preview is ready in about a minute. The full dossier is written after you unlock it and lands a couple of minutes later.

Doing this the right way

Checking a stranger before you meet them alone is normal safety, not surveillance. Two rules keep it that way. First, we only use information the person made public. Second, they are never notified, and you should not use what you find to contact people around them. This is for your own decision about whether to show up.

Check them before you meet

Enter a name, pick the right person, and read a free preview in about a minute. The full dossier is $25. They are never notified.

Common questions

Will they know I looked them up?

No. Proofile reads public sources. It never sends a message, a connection request, or a profile view, so there is nothing for them to see.

What if I only have a first name and a photo?

Add whatever context you have, like a city or an employer, in the second field. That is usually enough to separate the right person from everyone with the same name. If we cannot pin them down, you will see it in the free preview before you pay.

Is this legal?

Yes, for personal safety. It uses public information only. It is not a consumer report and must not be used for employment, housing, or credit decisions covered by the FCRA.

How much does it cost?

Searching and the preview are free. The full dossier is $25 for one person, paid once.
