Frequently Asked Questions

What is DigDate?

DigDate is an informational risk-awareness tool designed to help people assess patterns, inconsistencies, and potential red flags in online dating profiles and conversations.

It does not verify identity, confirm facts, or provide background checks. It helps you see signals more clearly before investing time, emotion, or trust.

Is DigDate a background check?

No.

DigDate is not a background check and not a consumer reporting agency.

It does not provide:

• Criminal records
• Arrest histories
• Court documents
• Employment verification
• Credit or financial data

DigDate analyzes user-provided screenshots and observable patterns, not official databases.

How accurate is DigDate?

DigDate is accurate at what it is designed to do: pattern detection and signal awareness.

It does not promise certainty. It highlights:

• Inconsistencies
• Behavioral patterns
• Visual and textual signals

Accuracy depends on the quality and completeness of the screenshots you provide.

What information do I need to provide?

At minimum:

• A screenshot of the dating profile bio
• One or more profile photos

Optionally:

• Chat screenshots
• Limited manual details (if requested)
• Email address (required for report delivery)

DigDate does not require usernames, passwords, or account access.

Do you contact the person in the screenshots?

No.

DigDate:

• Does not contact anyone
• Does not notify the person
• Does not interact with dating apps
• Does not link to social accounts automatically

All analysis is based solely on what you upload.

How long does the analysis take?

Most DigDate reports are generated in under one minute.

More complex inputs (multiple screenshots or chat analysis) may take slightly longer, but results are typically fast.

How much does DigDate cost?

• Base DigDate report: $9.99
• Optional Social Fingerprint add-on: +$4.99

There are no subscriptions, recurring charges, or hidden fees. You pay once per report.

What is the Social Fingerprint add-on?

The optional add-on scans for public username reuse across common platforms.

It may surface:

• Long-term digital presence
• Platform consistency
• Lifestyle alignment clues

It does not:

• Access private accounts
• Bypass privacy settings
• Verify identity

Can DigDate miss something?

Yes. No tool can detect everything.

DigDate may not catch:

• Highly sophisticated deception
• Offline behavior
• New or emerging scam patterns
• Perfectly consistent false narratives

Absence of red flags does not guarantee safety.

Why did DigDate flag something that seems harmless?

Some signals may reflect:

• Cultural differences
• Communication style
• Limited available context
• Coincidence

A flag does not mean someone is dangerous - it means something stood out relative to known patterns. Always interpret results holistically.

Is DigDate safe to use?

Yes.

DigDate is designed with:

• Temporary data storage
• Automatic report deletion
• Secure processing
• No long-term retention of screenshots

Your privacy is a core design principle.

How long are reports stored?

• Reports are available for a limited time
• Reports and uploaded images are automatically deleted after expiration (typically ~72 hours)
• Deleted reports cannot be recovered

Can I download or share my report?

Yes. You can:

• View your report online
• Download a branded PDF
• Generate a shareable summary image for trusted friends

Sharing is entirely optional and under your control.

Can I use DigDate for employment or background screening?

No.

DigDate must not be used for:

• Employment decisions
• Tenant or housing screening
• Credit eligibility
• Insurance underwriting

Using DigDate for these purposes violates our Terms of Use.

Is DigDate available outside the United States?

Yes.

DigDate can be used internationally. However:

• Some signals vary by country
• Data availability may differ
• Results may be more limited in certain regions

DigDate is designed for general informational use, not jurisdiction-specific verification.

Does DigDate work in other languages?

DigDate supports multiple languages and can analyze screenshots and chats in supported languages.

Availability may vary by region and language selection.

What should I do if I feel unsafe?

If you ever feel unsafe:

• Leave the situation immediately
• Contact trusted friends or family
• Use dating app reporting tools
• Contact local emergency services if needed

DigDate is not an emergency service.

Is DigDate affiliated with dating apps?

No.

DigDate is independent and not affiliated with Tinder, Hinge, Bumble, or any dating platform.

Why would I use DigDate instead of just trusting my gut?

Instinct matters - but instincts improve with information.

DigDate helps:

• Reduce blind spots
• Slow emotional momentum
• Surface patterns you might miss
• Provide neutral perspective

It supports judgment, not replaces it.
