DG Dawg says: "I've got your back"

Trust Starts With Verification.
Know Who You're Meeting.
Know Before You Go.

You check the history on a $30,000 car — why not the person sitting across from you? DateGuard uses advanced biometric liveness detection to verify the person behind the profile — so you know they're real before you meet. Know before you go.

Dating should start with trust,
not a leap of faith.

DateGuard exists because the people you meet online deserve the same due diligence you give every other important decision in your life. You check the history on a used car. You read reviews before booking a hotel. You verify credentials before hiring a contractor.

But when it comes to the person sitting across from you at dinner — the person you might let into your life, your home, your family — you're expected to just… trust your gut?

We believe your gut deserves backup. DateGuard uses advanced biometric identity verification to give you something no dating app offers: proof that the person you're meeting is real.

"

My family member connected with someone online who turned out to be using a fake identity. A simple identity verification check would have revealed the truth immediately. That's why I recommend DateGuard to everyone I know.

I'm a divorce attorney. I see the aftermath every day. DateGuard is doing what I wish someone had built ten years ago — due diligence before the ring, not after the papers.

After my ex turned out to be using a completely fake identity, I swore I'd never date online again. DateGuard's identity verification gave me the confidence to try again. I deserve that.

I run a women's safety nonprofit. We're recommending DateGuard to every member. The fact that voice data is destroyed within 24 hours — that's the standard the industry should be held to.

Why We Built This

Behind every feature is someone who needed it. These stories — from real people who wanted to date with more confidence — are why DateGuard exists.

Identity Verification

"I connected with someone online for months, but when it came time to meet, they disappeared. Their photos turned out to be someone else entirely. A quick liveness verification would have revealed the truth on day one."

Melissa, 34 · Phoenix, AZ
Identity Story

"I went on three dates with someone before finding out nothing they told me was real — not their name, not their job, nothing. If I'd had a simple identity check upfront, I would have known before the first coffee. That's exactly what DateGuard does."

Daniel, 38 · Minneapolis, MN
Personal Experience

"After a few great conversations online, something felt off but I couldn't explain it. I wish I'd had a way to verify before we met in person. Trust should come from data, not guesswork. That's why tools like DateGuard matter."

Priya, 29 · Seattle, WA

What DateGuard Is — And What It Isn't

DateGuard is not a dating app. We don't match you, host profiles, or facilitate introductions. DateGuard is a safety and compatibility verification utility designed to work alongside any dating platform you already use.

What DateGuard does: DateGuard uses Facia.ai's biometric liveness detection to verify real identity — confirming the person behind the profile is genuine, present, and not a fake photo or video replay.

Verification results are informational. DateGuard confirms a person is real via biometric liveness detection. It is not a substitute for personal judgment, professional advice, or a background check.

Identity verification powered by Facia.ai, an iBeta Level 2 certified, NIST-tested platform. Biometric data is processed in compliance with GDPR and CCPA and is not retained beyond verification.

Consent is required. Identity verification requires the participant to voluntarily complete the liveness check. No one can be verified without their knowledge and explicit consent.

Your data is protected by design. Voice recordings are processed and permanently destroyed within 24 hours. We retain scores and insights, never raw audio. We never sell, share, or monetize your data.

Built by someone who believes dating deserves better.

DateGuard was created by Michael Berman, a technologist and entrepreneur who saw a gap between the technology we use to protect everything else in our lives — and the total absence of it in dating.

After years of building technology platforms and working in the safety and verification space, the question became obvious: If biometric verification can protect financial transactions and government systems, why can't it protect the people we date?

DateGuard is the answer. Not a dating app. Not a background check. A new category: dating due diligence — powered by research-backed voice science used in professional and enterprise settings.
