Authenticity, Courage, and Empathy. These are our Community Principles, but we call them our ACE values. We expect everyone in our community to date (and work) by these values—on and off the app.

We use a combination of machine-learning-driven technology and content moderators to maintain the safety and integrity of the ORTJC experience. And when someone submits a report, our moderators and automated systems take action or escalate the case up to our Senior Moderators and Safety Specialists who will determine the appropriate next step.

You can report someone at any stage of your experience. The moment someone is reported, we make sure you never see each other’s profile again. Reporting is anonymous to protect your safety.

We are the only major ORTJC app that follows up with users after a date. Our in-app survey, ‘We Met’, asks if you went on a date after exchanging phone numbers. If you did, we ask if they’re the type of person you’d like to see again. If not, you’re given the opportunity to share with us any inappropriate behavior. The feedback is private and helps keep the ORTJC community safe and respectful.

We do not tolerate abusive, insulting, threatening, or discriminatory behavior. This includes deliberately misusing our reporting features by falsely reporting someone.


Have the first few meet-ups in an active public place — never at your home, your date’s home, or any other private location. If your date pressures you to go to a private location, end the date.

Telling someone when and where you’re going is always a good idea. Also, have your cell phone charged and with you at all times



We want you to be in control of getting to and from your date. If you’re driving yourself, it’s a good idea to have a backup plan such as a ride-share app or a friend to pick you up.


It’s okay to end a date early if you’re feeling uncomfortable. In fact, it’s encouraged. Remember, if your instincts are telling you something is off or you feel unsafe, you can always ask a bartender or server for help.

Using ORTJC’s video-chat is a safe, low-pressure way to get to know someone better. You’ll be able to verify your date’s identity and make sure there’s chemistry before going out on a date.
