How to use NewHalf Keijiban more safely
Review the basics of personal information, communication, first meetings and what to do when something feels wrong.
Keep personal information separate at first
You do not need to share your home address, workplace, legal name, financial information or other sensitive details simply because someone replied to a post. Start with the contact method you are comfortable using and share more only when there is a clear reason and sufficient trust.
Confirm what each person expects
Before meeting, confirm the area, approximate time and what kind of connection both people are looking for. Clear expectations reduce misunderstandings. If a conversation becomes very different from the public post, you can stop the exchange.
Choose a first meeting you can leave easily
A public place with normal foot traffic is easier for a first meeting than a private address. Tell a trusted person where you are going if that makes you more comfortable, keep your own way home, and avoid arrangements that leave you dependent on someone you have not met before.
