Safety Disclaimer

Educational Information Only

The Medellín Dating Safety Series provides educational and informational personal-security resources designed to help travelers and residents make more deliberate decisions regarding dating, nightlife, private meetings, digital security, financial boundaries, residence access, and other social situations.

The information contained in our guides, playbooks, checklists, scoring tools, and other materials is not intended to provide legal, medical, law-enforcement, or professional security advice.

No Guarantee of Safety

No guide, checklist, scoring system, precaution, or security practice can guarantee personal safety, prevent crime, or predict another person's intentions or behavior.

The Medellín Dating Risk Score (MDRS) and other tools provided by The Medellín Dating Safety Series are decision-support resources only. A score, individual behavior, or combination of behaviors does not establish that a person is dangerous, dishonest, or engaged in criminal activity.

Behavior, Not Background

Our approach focuses on observable behavior, circumstances, access, changing situations, and combinations of risk indicators. Our materials are not intended to assess risk based on nationality, ethnicity, race, immigration status, gender, occupation, socioeconomic status, or other personal background characteristics.

Personal Responsibility

Every situation is different. Customers are responsible for evaluating their own circumstances, exercising judgment, following applicable laws, and determining what precautions are appropriate for them.

If you believe you are in immediate danger or are experiencing an emergency, contact the appropriate local emergency or law-enforcement authorities.

By using our materials, you acknowledge that they are educational resources and that The Medellín Dating Safety Series cannot guarantee any particular safety outcome.
