What is verified about the platform

The current app includes signup, onboarding, age entry with an 18+ check in profile setup, school and level fields, interests, dating intention, profile photos, mutual discovery, chat, notification settings, profile visibility status, online-status controls, incognito mode, account deletion information, and public safety pages.

The app also includes AI profile trust checks in parts of the product. That should be described cautiously as a trust-support feature, not as a guarantee that every account is identity-verified or background-checked.

User responsibilities

Users are responsible for accurate profile information, respectful communication, and safe decisions when moving from chat to real life. Do not impersonate others, scam users, harass people, share non-consensual intimate material, exploit minors, spam, or pressure someone after they decline.

The Terms of Service and Privacy Policy explain expected conduct, data handling, payments, deletion, and support contacts.

Reporting and support

Users should report suspicious or harmful behavior through available in-app reporting tools where present or by contacting support. Public support is available through Support, info@thecollegedate.com, and safety contact godwillgodslife@gmail.com.

Child safety standards are published separately for public transparency and Google Play compliance. The service is intended for adults, and underage exploitation or child sexual abuse material is prohibited.

Offline meeting guidance

For first meetings, choose public, visible places, tell a trusted person, keep your phone charged, arrange your own transport, and leave if you feel uncomfortable. Do not share bank details, passwords, ID documents, exact room location, or private media with someone you do not fully trust.

What this page does not claim

This page does not claim universal identity verification, guaranteed student verification, background checks, continuous human monitoring, guaranteed safety, or university endorsement. Those claims should not appear anywhere unless the owner provides verifiable evidence and implementation support.

Does The College Date guarantee safety?

No online or offline dating service can guarantee safety. The platform provides rules, support paths, trust features, and guidance, while users must still make careful decisions.
