Is Bind safe if I'm closeted in India?

Bind is built so you can verify and meet people nearby without being out. The check happens at home, nothing from it appears on your profile, and you can install Bind with an icon that does not say Bind.

What we can promise, and what we cannot

We will never ask you to verify on a video call, never put your check on your profile, and never show your phone number. What we cannot control is what another member does with what you choose to share, so share slowly and meet in public.

Habits that help

Do your check when you are alone. Use a discreet icon if people see your phone. Keep your profile light until you trust someone. If anyone threatens to out you, take a screenshot, report them and block them. We treat outing threats as one of the most serious things anyone can report.

If your city is not open yet

Join the waitlist and do your check anyway. You will be ready the day your city opens.
