Here is exactly what we do — and a clear list of what we do not claim. Most companies publish the first list. We publish both.
Both verification layers apply to every member. Institutional credentials are a second layer, never a shortcut past the first.
Every member confirms their date of birth at signup. Anyone under 18 is automatically rejected.
A real-time selfie and gesture challenge confirms there is a real person, physically present, controlling the account. Required of every member without exception — including those using institutional emails.
University (.ac.uk), NHS (.nhs.net) and government (.gov.uk) email addresses are verified against the domain, confirming the member belongs to a real, accountable community. This is a second layer on top of the liveness check. It is not a substitute for it, and it does not shorten or extend the trial.
There is no in-app chat, no media sharing, and no way to contact another member through the app. The only way to act on a signal is to say hello in person.
You are off the map until you choose to switch on. Visibility ends the moment you switch off — no delay, no residual trace.
Members can save their home and work addresses as Safe Zones. When inside a Safe Zone, visibility is suppressed automatically — you never appear on the map near where you live or work, even if your signal is on.
Harassment, impersonation, or any attempt to bypass verification results in an immediate, permanent ban. We cooperate fully with law enforcement where required.
Safety pages that only list what a product does are marketing. A cautious reader — a student, a parent, a safeguarding lead — wants to know the limits too.
The signal means a member is open to a polite introduction. It does not mean they are single. We have no way to verify someone's relationship status and we do not claim to.
Verification confirms a real person controls the account and, for institutional members, that they belong to a real organisation. It is not a DBS check and does not screen for criminal history.
Age is self-declared at signup. Members confirm they are 18 or over. We do not request or verify identity documents as part of the standard signup flow.
Yes I'm Single is a user-to-user service. An illegal content risk assessment under the Online Safety Act 2023 is budgeted and will be completed before institutional launch. We do not claim it is done.
We don't match you. We don't message for you. We simply let you know who's single so you can make a real connection.
Y.I.S. eliminates most of the issues associated with traditional dating platforms — our members don't hide behind keyboards and filters. They're real, active, and here.
Y.I.S. is a Social Signaling Tool — helping you meet people the old-fashioned way, with a modern assist.
How we maintain a high-standard environment in all spaces.
Being visible on the map is a signal of availability for a polite "Hello," not a license for persistence. If the vibe isn't there, respect the boundary and move on.
Members have the absolute right to toggle "Off" at any moment. Once a user is off the map, they are in "private mode" and should not be approached via the app's context.
Any report of harassment or making others feel unsafe will result in a permanent ban. We link accounts to verified IDs to ensure our community remains respectful.
Your data, your photos, your rights — answered plainly.
