Safety by design
Tink sessions only exist between people who chose each other: you touch phones together in person, accept an invite from a previous partner, or open a link someone sent you. There is no discovery, no browsing, and no way for a stranger to message you. Chat is text and reactions only — no images can be sent on Tink.
Reporting
From the chat in any session you can report a partner in a couple of taps. Reporting is invisible to the other person and doesn’t interrupt your session. When you report, Tink preserves a snapshot of the recent chat — including the messages themselves — as evidence, the one exception to chat being deleted when a session ends (details in the Privacy Policy).
Every report is reviewed by a person — promptly, usually within a day. Outcomes range from no action to suspending the reported account — and deleting an account does not lift a suspension.
Blocking
You can block anyone you’ve planned with from inviting you again. Blocking is silent: the blocked person cannot tell — their invites simply never arrive. A block lasts until you choose that person again: completing a new session together (which always takes a deliberate act on your side — touching phones or opening their link) clears it.
Talk to us
For anything that worries you — about a person, a session, or the app itself — email concerns@tinkdate.com. A human reads it.
If you are in immediate danger, contact your local emergency services (000 in Australia). For image-based abuse or serious online harm in Australia, you can also report to the eSafety Commissioner.
