Living with herpes can make privacy especially important. Begin with details you can control: your location description, photographs, device settings and the pace of a disclosure.
A broad area can explain distance without identifying your home. In a regional Australian town, a job title, sports club and familiar landmark may identify you together. Check photos for house numbers, work badges and other people who have not agreed to appear.
Review notification previews, saved logins and shared email access. Sign out on shared devices. A quick-exit control changes what is visible; it does not necessarily erase browser history, downloads or notifications.
On the official platform, check current visibility, contact and photo settings. An audience restriction cannot prevent a viewer from taking a screenshot or repeating a conversation. Do not send passwords, identity documents or medical records to someone you have just met.
A social account may expose family, work and location information that your dating profile did not. The eSafety online dating guide offers Australian guidance on these choices. Read the privacy information and use official support for account concerns.
