Your safety is our architecture
Protecting the people on StarDust Meet is the foundation everything else is built on, not a feature we added later.
Safety
Built for people for whom visibility carries real risk
Some of our members are LGBTQ+ people in hostile environments. Some are neurodivergent people who have been bullied or excluded. Many just want a place where they can be themselves without fear of exposure. We take that responsibility seriously and design our systems accordingly.
- 01
Three environments, one app
MEET, MATCH and HUNTER keep separate data in separate databases. MEET and MATCH profiles are not shown to each other. HUNTER shows your MEET persona. All three belong to one account. Authorised internal tools can link them, and that access is logged. - 02
GDPR from day one
StarDust Meet was built in the EU, by an EU team, with GDPR principles in from the start. Consent choices are recorded. You can withdraw optional consent in Settings. You can request a data export or account deletion, with a 30-day recovery period. - 03
Anonymous by design
In MEET you are a persona: a name, an avatar and a bio, separate from your profile in MATCH. Moderators reviewing reported MEET members see personas. Access to account identity needs extra permissions.
How it works
Built to protect
Most platforms describe privacy and safety in their policies. We enforce them in the architecture. Data separation is enforced at the system level. Encryption limits access to message content. Safety systems are built to reduce risk, not just respond to it.
- 01
End-to-end encrypted messages
Private messages in MATCH use the Signal Protocol, the same encryption standard as Signal and WhatsApp. Messages are encrypted on your device. Only you and the recipient can read them. StarDust Meet cannot access message content. We keep limited metadata (sender, recipient and timestamps) to run the service. - 02
Principle of least access
Team members can only access the data their role requires. Sensitive access is logged and auditable. Access can be revoked immediately. We built the controls we would expect if it were our own data, because it is. - 03
Content moderation in layers
Automated detection, AI-assisted classification and human review work together. NSFW content is blurred until you choose to reveal it. Child sexual abuse material (CSAM) and other illegal content is detected, blocked and reported. Zero tolerance. In encrypted contexts we rely on on-device safety checks and your reports, because we cannot read message content. - 04
Identity confidence
Photo checks and account verification add trust signals. Reviews and badges build a record over time. This helps against bots and impersonation. It does not guarantee identity or behaviour.
HUNTER
Marketplace safety in HUNTER
HUNTER is a member-to-member marketplace. We are not a party to the transactions, but we enforce strict rules against fraud, abuse and prohibited content, with tools for reporting and moderation. You control what you list and share. Listings, messages and transactions happen directly between members, and you decide what personal information to disclose.
Our systems reduce risk. Your safety also depends on how you choose to interact. You are responsible for what you share and who you engage with across MATCH, MEET and HUNTER.
