Staying safe on Seapull

Last updated: October 20, 2026

SEAPULL DOES NOT CONDUCT CRIMINAL BACKGROUND CHECKS ON ITS MEMBERS.

Seapull is about meeting through movement. A few simple habits keep those first meets fun and safe. These are the same tips the app shows in Settings, under Safety tips.

In an emergency

In an emergency, call for help first: 911 in the United States, Canada, the Philippines, Bermuda, the Bahamas and Fiji; 000 in Australia; 111 in New Zealand; 999 in Hong Kong and Seychelles; 999 for police or 995 for an ambulance in Singapore; 110 for police or 119 for an ambulance in Taiwan; 10111 for police or 10177 for an ambulance in South Africa; and your local emergency number anywhere else. Then use the block and report tools in the app so we can act on the account.

Safety tips

Meet in public. For a first meet, pick a public place, such as a gym, class, café, park or trail. Save private spaces for once you know each other.
Tell a friend. Let someone know where you're going, who you're meeting and when you expect to be back. Share your live location for the first few meets.
Arrange your own transport. Get yourself there and back, so you're never reliant on someone you just met for a ride.
Stay in control. Keep first meets short and stay sober enough to make clear decisions and get home safely.
Never send money. Never send money, gift cards or bank details to someone you met on Seapull, however good the reason sounds. Report anyone who asks.
Plan for the weather. Bring water, dress for the conditions and keep to daylight hours.
Trust your gut. If something feels off, you don't owe anyone an explanation. Leaving early is always okay.
Block & report. If someone crosses a line, block or report them straight from the chat. We review every report.

Know the signs of a romance scam

Romance scammers move fast: strong feelings within days, always a reason they can't meet or video call, then a sudden emergency, investment or prize that needs money, gift cards or crypto. Anyone who asks you for money or financial details is running a scam, however real it feels. Stop replying, report them from the chat, and if you've already paid, tell your bank straight away. When you report, choose the reason Scam or spam. Asking members for money breaks our Terms.

Blocking and reporting

Every profile and every conversation has a safety menu with Report and Block. Once you block someone, you won't see each other in Discover, Matches or on the map, and neither of you can send messages. Your existing conversation stays visible, read-only, for both of you. They aren't notified.

When you report, choose a reason and, if it helps, describe the message or photo in the details box. The reasons are Harassment or bullying, Threats or violence, Unsolicited sexual content, Intimate image shared without consent, Fake profile or catfishing, I think they're under 18, Scam or spam, and Something else.

Report an intimate image

If someone shared an intimate image of you on Seapull, email safety@seapull.com with where it appears and a statement that it was shared without your consent. You don't need an account. We remove the image within 48 hours of a valid request. Members can also report it in the app with the reason Intimate image shared without consent.

Domestic violence

If someone is hurting or threatening you, help is available. In the United States, call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233 or visit thehotline.org. Elsewhere, contact your local domestic violence service.
