How KorLuv Keeps You Safe

Every profile photo you upload is subject to review. If our team checks it within 24 hours it goes live at that point; if we have not, it is released automatically after 24 hours. Photos that are not of the member, or that are inappropriate, are taken down as soon as we find them.

Review is not about whether a face is attractive — it is about whether the photo is really that person. Celebrity pictures, images pulled from the web, and AI-generated faces come down, and we look at the account too. Every profile has a report button, so what members notice reaches us right away.

An account that signs up but never confirms its email does not appear in search or any list, and cannot even log in. Only people who pass confirmation exist as members — so even if bots create accounts in bulk, other members never see them.

We also reduce the number of confirmation emails that never arrive. At sign-up we detect typos in the email domain (gmail typed as gamil, for example) and prompt you to fix it on the spot. An account created with a typo can never confirm and dies quietly; we stop that before it happens.

We detect and block fake accounts and monitor for spammers and scammers. We watch specifically for the common playbooks — crypto-investment lures, pushing you to an outside app right away, and AI-generated photos — and continuously remove suspicious accounts.

Scams that target international connections follow a fixed script: fast affection, pressure to move to another app, dodging video calls, and then money. If you see that sequence, stop the conversation and report it. Keep one hard line — never send money to someone you have not met — and the scam cannot complete.

Romance scam red flags, in detail

Phone numbers are never displayed on profiles. They become visible to each other only after one side sends a contact request and the other accepts. If the other person has not registered a number, accepting shows nothing.

This is separate from chat friend requests. Accepting a chat friend only unlocks live chat and has nothing to do with phone numbers — the two are kept in separate storage so they can never mix.

Member profiles are visible only to logged-in members. We block search engines from indexing them, so your name or photo never appears in Google or other results. We do not open member pages to search engines to attract traffic.

Your online status is also your choice. Premium members can hide their online indicator or hide their profile from non-members. Blocking takes one tap with no notification, and blocked people disappear from each other’s search, lists, and chat.

Block anyone in one tap — they are never notified. Report bad actors and our team reviews and acts. Each report is recorded once per member, so the same case is not duplicated.

If you suspect a scam, stop the conversation, report and block, and keep the chat and any transfer records — do not delete them. If you already sent money, ask your bank about stopping the payment and contact the police first. And do not blame yourself: this is an industry with scripts and staff, not your failure.

In-app notifications come first; email is minimal. Beyond essentials like sign-up confirmation, password, and payment receipts, you can turn off unread-message, like, and weekly-digest emails by type in your account settings, or through the unsubscribe link at the bottom of each email.

There are rules on the sending side too. An unread-message email goes out only when you are offline, and only once until you log in again. Like and favorite emails are sent once per person, ever. We do not fill your inbox with daily notification mail.

Talk properly online first and confirm a face on at least one video call before meeting. Make the first meeting a light one-to-two-hour daytime plan in a busy public place. If someone insists on coming to your accommodation or suggests somewhere remote, decline politely — a real friend understands.

Tell family or a friend where and whom you are meeting, and if the person looks nothing like their photos, you may end the meeting right there. Safety comes before politeness.

Meeting an online friend in person

Sign-up, messaging, and photo uploads — the core features — are all free. Our optional premium membership adds extras such as live chat and hiding your online status, with no auto-renewal. Unlike apps that advertise "free" but make you pay to actually talk to anyone, KorLuv is genuinely free to use.
