A profile from another app — why am I seeing it?
If a profile like this appears in your dating feed, the apps are connected through Pereval. This person signed up with another app and agreed to show their profile to its users. You can like the profile and start a conversation in the app you already use. You do not need to download Pereval or sign up for it.
You keep using your dating app
You keep liking profiles and chatting in the app where you signed up. Pereval helps apps show each other's profiles; there is no separate Pereval feed, account or chat for users.
What this means for you
Where the profile is from
The person signed up with another dating app. They chose to show their profile to users of other connected apps.
Chat stays here
Like, match and messages stay in your app. Nothing new to install. If the languages differ and translation is available, a translation is shown; the original is always available. If translation fails, the original is shown.
How to hide your profile
Open the settings in the app where you signed up and turn off sharing your profile through Pereval. People using other apps will no longer see you. Existing conversations stay.
What Pereval processes
Your profile is sent to the network only with your consent. Messages are sent only when a match connects people from different apps.
The network receives coordinates from your app and stores rounded coordinates. Other users do not receive coordinates; distance is shown only with separate consent.
The network receives
- Name, age and gender
- City and approximate distance, not an exact address
- Photos, bio and height if you provided them
- Who you're looking for and why: age range and intents
- Languages you speak
- Your photo verification mark, if your app did one: method and date
- Messages in matches between different apps — up to 90 days from sending; if an erased chat has a report, a moderation copy is kept for another 90 days from erasure
The network does not receive
- Phone number
- Chats with people from the same app
- Payment details
If something is wrong
Never send money
To anyone you met online — however touching the story.
Don't rush to other messengers
Being asked to move to Telegram or WhatsApp right away is a common scam trick.
Report in your app
The report reaches both the app the person comes from and the network.
More questions
What does the Pereval badge on a profile mean?
The person signed up with another dating app and chose to join the network there.
Does Pereval take my contacts?
The network does not receive your phone number or email. After you opt in, it receives profile data including coordinates from your app, which it stores rounded. Other users do not receive coordinates. Messages are processed only in matches between people from different apps.
Do I need a separate Pereval account?
No. Pereval is not a separate dating app. You stay in the app where you signed up; your profile, participation settings and support are there too.
How do I turn it off?
In your dating app's settings, switch off “Show me in the Pereval network”. You stop appearing in other apps' feeds, and the chats you started stay. Deleting your network data closes matches and removes your profile, but does not erase the other person's chat history: it remains without your name and photos. Separate copies of messages may be retained to investigate reports.
Messages are translated. Who processes them?
Messages between different apps pass through the network for delivery and translation when the service is available. If translation fails, the original remains available. In the live database, messages are kept for up to 90 days from sending; if an erased chat has a report, a hidden moderation copy is retained for 90 days from erasure. Apps also keep their own history; network backups are retained separately. Reports and personal photo-check materials, including unresolved disputes: up to 60 days in the live database from original report submission or check creation, then up to 30 days in closed backups. Appeals, updates and decisions do not extend the limit. Deletion does not approve photos or lift a block; seek review before the 60-day deadline.
Someone is trying to scam me. What do I do?
Report the profile in your app — the report reaches the app the person comes from and the network. Never send money to people you met online.
Does it cost anything?
The network does not collect payments from users or show ads. Basic participation is free; your app sets its own subscriptions and optional offers, including offers based on network services.
