The popular dating app has listened to its users about the high-risk nature of dating online after a few alarming cases of sexual assault and rape Tinder

is a nonprofit online background check organisation to help proactively prevent gender-based violence in the digital age.Garbo gets access to individual’s information through public records, police reports, reports of violence or abuse, arrests, convictions, restraining orders, harassment and other violent crimes.

One of the latest tools on Tinder, Noonlight, is a connected safety platform that gives each individual a personal safety service. Through Noonlight, users can share information about their date night — who they’re meeting as well as where and at what time — with people they trust. Users can “discreetly trigger” emergency services in the event that they feel uncomfortable or in danger.

The background checks on the app will not be free, discussions are still being had about subscription fees to make the tool available to as many users as possible. As to when this will be officially rolled out, Tinder says in the coming months once Garbo is integrated into its app.
