Safety Tips

Your safety matters to us. Here are some practical guidelines for meeting people through elevate.

Before meeting in person

  • Never send money to someone you have not met in person, no matter how compelling their story or how long you have been talking.
  • Be cautious about sharing personal details like your home address, workplace, or daily routine early on. There is no rush — take your time getting to know someone first.
  • Be cautious if someone asks you to move the conversation to another app (such as WhatsApp or Telegram) very early on. This is a common pattern used by scammers to avoid detection. There is no need to leave elevate until you feel comfortable and have met in person.
  • Do a quick search: a reverse image search and a name search can help verify whether a profile is genuine.
  • Trust your instincts. If something feels off, you are never obligated to continue.

When you meet

  • Meet in a public place for the first few dates.
  • Tell a trusted friend where you are going and who you are meeting.
  • Arrange your own transport to and from the meeting.
  • If you drink, stay aware of your limits. Never leave a drink unattended or accept a drink from someone you do not fully trust.

Reporting concerns

  • Use the Report button on any profile to flag abusive, suspicious, or fake behavior. We review all reports and take action up to and including permanent banning.
  • For an immediate threat to safety, contact your local emergency services directly (113 in Vietnam).

Subscription Plans

elevate offers two paid membership tiers. Both are available on 1-month, 3-month, and 12-month billing plans — longer plans offer a lower effective monthly rate.

Premium

  • Send and receive unlimited messages
  • See who liked your profile
  • See who viewed your profile
  • 30 curated profiles per day in discovery
  • Advanced discovery filters
  • Profile visibility boost — appear more prominently in discovery
  • Optionally appear on the featured users list

Diamond

  • Everything included in Premium
  • Priority placement in discovery — shown before other members
  • 60 curated profiles per day in discovery
  • Send roses (a one-time message to users you haven’t matched with yet)
  • Access to all discovery filters
  • Diamond profile badge — a visible indicator on your profile and in discovery
  • Enhanced discovery features and profile highlights

Billing and renewal

Your membership begins immediately upon subscribing. Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period (1, 3, or 12 months from your start date, depending on the plan you chose). You can view your next billing date and current plan at any time in Account Settings → Billing Details. To cancel auto-renewal, see Canceling Your Subscription below.

Upgrading Your Plan

Moving to a higher tier (e.g., Premium → Diamond) or a longer billing period within the same tier takes effect immediately. You are charged today for the new plan.

Any unused time on your current plan is automatically calculated and credited toward the new plan. The credit is applied to your account balance and deducted automatically from your next invoice — it is not returned to your card.

Example: You have 8 months left on a Premium 12-month plan and upgrade to Diamond 1-month. The remaining Premium credit offsets your next several Diamond monthly invoices at no extra charge until the balance is used.

Downgrading Your Plan

Moving to a lower tier (e.g., Diamond → Premium) or a shorter billing period within the same tier takes effect at the end of your current billing period. There is no charge today and no refund.

You keep full access to your current plan until that date. The new plan then activates automatically and you are charged the new rate at the next renewal.

Example: You are on Diamond 1-month with 18 days remaining and switch to Premium 12-month. You keep Diamond for those 18 days, then Premium 12-month begins and you are charged the 12-month Premium price.

Canceling Your Subscription

You can cancel at any time directly from your account — no need to email us.

How to cancel

Log in and go to Account Settings (tap your profile photo → Account Settings). Scroll to the Subscription section and click Cancel subscription, then confirm when prompted.

What happens after canceling

Canceling stops all future automatic charges immediately. Your current plan remains fully active — with all paid features intact — until the end of the billing period you already paid for. You will not lose access right away.

After your period ends, your account reverts to a free membership. You can re-subscribe at any time.

Refund Policy

All subscription purchases are final and non-refundable.

We do not issue refunds or credits for any reason, including:

  • Unused time remaining on your current billing period
  • Forgetting to cancel before your subscription renews
  • Inactivity or not using the service during the billing period
  • Changing your mind after purchase
  • Dissatisfaction with the service

What “non-refundable” means in practice

When you cancel, you will not receive a refund for any remaining days in your current billing period. Your access continues until the period ends, at which point no further charges occur. Canceling is always free and takes effect immediately — it simply prevents the next renewal charge. See Canceling Your Subscription for step-by-step instructions.

Upgrade credits Exception

The only exception applies when you upgrade to a higher-tier plan. In that case, a prorated credit is automatically calculated for unused days on your current plan and applied toward the cost of the upgrade. This is an automatic account credit — not a cash refund to your payment method. See Upgrading Your Plan for details.

Billing errors

If you believe you were charged incorrectly, contact us at [email protected] within 30 days of the charge. Please include the email address on your account and the date of the charge, and we will investigate promptly.

Where applicable consumer protection laws in your jurisdiction grant statutory refund rights that cannot be excluded, this policy does not override those rights.

Deleting Your Account

You can permanently delete your elevate account at any time from Account Settings. Deletion is instant and irreversible.

How to delete your account

Log in and go to Account Settings. Scroll to the Delete Profile section at the bottom of the page and click Delete my profile. You will need to check the confirmation box and enter your current password before the deletion is processed.

What gets permanently deleted

  • Your profile (name, bio, photos, preferences, and all profile answers)
  • All messages and conversations — removed from your inbox and your conversation partners' inboxes
  • Likes you sent and received, mutual matches, and bookmarks
  • Your login credentials — your email address is freed for use with a new account
  • Any active subscription is canceled immediately so no further charges occur

What is retained after deletion

  • Billing transaction records (invoice amounts, dates, transaction IDs) are retained for accounting and legal compliance. Financial records of this kind are typically required by law to be kept for up to 7 years. These records do not contain your profile, photos, messages, or personal activity data.
  • Payment data is stored and managed by our payment processor in accordance with their own privacy policy and regulatory obligations. To learn more or submit a data deletion request, visit stripe.com/privacy.
