Answers to the questions people ask before they join.

Greenflag is a local dating app where your profile is built by your friends, not written like a personal ad by you. You provide the raw material, and the people who know you turn it into a profile that feels more like a real introduction than a sales pitch. Then they make the actual introductions: when a friend knows someone you should meet, they send your profile to that person themselves.

No. You provide raw inputs like photos and basic facts, but your friends create the pitch and leave vouches. That keeps the strongest signal in someone else's voice, which is the whole point: a profile should reveal how people experience you, not just how you market yourself.

A vouch is a short statement from someone who knows you and is willing to put their name behind you. It gives readers context that a self-written bio cannot: what you are like when nobody is performing, how you treat people, and why someone close to you thinks you are worth meeting.

Yes. Friends, family, and loved ones can contribute as long as the relationship is shown honestly. A sister, roommate, cousin, teammate, or longtime friend can all be useful context as long as readers know who is speaking.

That is okay. Greenflag is built for real friend groups and families, including people across countries and languages. A vouch is welcome in any language. It appears in the language it was written, alongside who wrote it and their relationship to you.

No. The profile needs friend participation before it can go live. That rule is the product: without friends, Greenflag would collapse back into a regular self-authored dating profile, just with more steps.

Introductions are on for every live profile, so the friends who vouched for you can share it. When one of your friends knows someone they think you should meet, they send your profile to that person themselves, in their own thread, in their own words. If that person is interested, they raise their hand, verify their phone, and add a few photos and basics, and your friend adds a line on why. The introduction then lands with you, and you decide whether to accept it. Accept, and a conversation opens with your friend's word as the context.

Because your friend is putting their own name on it. They are not forwarding your profile to everyone they know. They are choosing one person, someone they already trust, and telling that person you are worth meeting. A friend only does that for a match they actually believe in, because they will hear about it either way. A swipe from a stranger costs nothing. A friend's introduction costs them their credibility, and that is exactly why it means something.

Only the friends who vouched on your profile. Introductions are on for every live profile, and you can turn them off any time in Settings. You can see every active link, who created it, and how many times it has been opened, and you can revoke any single link or all of them at once. A shared profile shows your first name and neighborhood-level location, and search engines cannot index it.

Not to see your profile. They open it in a browser, no app and no account. To raise their hand they complete a short intake: their first name, two or three photos, and their age and pronouns if they want to add them. Then they verify a phone number. No bio, no self-marketing. If they later want a profile of their own, they join Greenflag the same way everyone does: with friends who vouch for them.

Yes, and you never have to say it out loud. Introductions are accept-only. If you do nothing, the introduction quietly expires after seven days, and the other person is never told you passed. Introductions also sit outside Curious and Browse: they never take up one of your Curious seats, and you can hold a few pending at a time.

No. Nobody is ever charged or paid for an introduction, and there are no points, streaks, or leaderboards for making them. An introduction is only worth something when the friend means it, so we never give anyone a reason to make one they do not.

No. Browsing is just browsing. There is no public pass, reject, or scoreboard attached to moving through profiles. If you open a full profile and want to signal interest, you can get Curious.

Curious is Greenflag's low-pressure interest mechanic. You can be curious about a limited set of people at a time, which keeps interest intentional instead of turning into endless right-swiping. The goal is a smaller set that actually means something.

No. Curious is blind unless both people are currently curious about each other. We do not show admirer lists or sell reveals, because that would turn interest into pressure instead of signal.

Messaging unlocks when both people are curious about each other at the same time. The match language is deliberately simple: you are both curious. It is meant to feel more like permission to start a real conversation than a dramatic verdict.

Discovery is local. You browse people close enough that meeting up is realistic, not an endless map of strangers. Greenflag is built for nearby connections, not long-distance browsing, because the product works best when a match can become an actual plan without turning into a travel project. Friend introductions are the one exception: they are one-to-one and consent-gated, so a friend can introduce you to someone anywhere, and the two of you decide whether the distance is worth it.

Greenflag uses phone verification and photo verification as part of the trust model. Verification does not replace judgment, but it raises the floor: people should not be able to casually hide behind fake accounts while asking strangers to trust them.

Yes. Use the in-app report flow or email safety@trygreenflag.com. Reports can cover harassment, threats, impersonation, scams, coercion, sexual pressure, hate, or anything else that makes Greenflag feel unsafe.

No. Selling user data would break the trust promise Greenflag is built on. Greenflag is designed to make dating feel more accountable and human, not to turn private relationship context into an advertising product.

You can delete your account without the app at trygreenflag.com/account-deletion by confirming a code we text to your phone, or in the app under Settings, Delete account. Deletion is immediate and irreversible: your profile, matches, and messages are removed and cannot be recovered. If you no longer control your phone number, email privacy@trygreenflag.com with proof of identity.

No. Greenflag does not sell visibility or pay-to-boost ranking. Paying to appear more desirable would weaken the whole idea: the strongest signal should come from friends, behavior, and mutual curiosity, not from whoever pays for placement.

Greenflag is free: friend-built profiles, browsing, matching, and messaging are all included. Visibility and ranking are never for sale.
