Activity

Behavioral trust

Internal signals from account activity and conduct can influence eligibility and ranking. They are not public trust ratings, and they can be mistaken. We are reviewing these systems before opening the beta.

Preparing for an invite-only beta for adults who live permanently in Florida.

Our privacy commitments keep presence sharing, read receipts, typing indicators and profile-view tracking off by default, with broad location and no public response-time or trust ratings. We must verify these commitments before launch.


Five design principles

These principles guide what we build and how we review it.

01

Make truth easier

Make it easier to say what you want and where your boundaries are.

02

Make repair normal

Make room for check-ins, repair, pauses and clear endings.

03

Make dignity default

Treat people with respect and give them a choice in what they share.

04

Make ownership unavoidable

Give people clear controls for their profiles, sharing, export and deletion.

05

Make manipulation unnecessary

Avoid pressure, manufactured urgency and paid ranking advantages.

What we are trying to improve

Northgiven is being built around clear preferences, room for discussion and choices you can revisit. The beta needs to establish whether those tools help people connect. We have not demonstrated better relationship outcomes.

Start with reflection. Questions invite you to consider how you approach closeness, conflict and repair. Answers are self-reports; we have not established that the questions resist faking.
Leave room to learn. A profile cannot tell the whole story. Use conversations and your own judgment to decide what feels right for you.
Give fit some context. Plain-language summaries can suggest topics to discuss. They cannot decide whether a relationship will work.
Show up as yourself. Make room for an honest connection.

Why use Northgiven?

Frequently Asked Questions

How is this different from answering a personality quiz?

The matching flow combines your profile and assessment with internal account and activity signals. These signals can affect suggestions, but they do not establish honesty, character or future behavior.

What if I do not know my attachment style?

You do not need to choose an attachment label. Answer the prompts as best you can, and skip optional information you do not want to provide. Questions and scoring are still under review before beta launch.

Can my attachment style change over time?

Your answers and preferences can change. Where retakes are available, the app explains when you can take the assessment again. A changed score alone does not establish a change in your relationship patterns.

What does compatibility mean here?

Here, compatibility refers to suggestions based on the preferences and assessment information used by the app. A fit summary can offer something to discuss; it does not establish how two people will behave together.

What exactly are you ranking when you rank my matches?

Your preferences and current account rules affect eligibility. Assessment outputs and internal activity or conduct signals can affect ordering. We do not sell a better position in the queue.

Can an attachment label tell me who to date?

No. An attachment label cannot determine whether two people will build a good relationship. Northgiven has not validated a prediction about a specific pairing. Use your own judgment and discuss what each of you needs.

Why use Northgiven instead of another dating app?

Northgiven is intended for people who want room for honest preferences and deliberate conversations. Its design avoids paid ranking boosts and manufactured urgency. The beta will help us learn whether the experience is useful.

Is Northgiven free?

The planned beta is free. Core matching, conversations, reporting, blocking and data controls do not require a paid membership. Optional Member tools and the defined Founding Beta benefit are described on the pricing page. Paid signup is currently closed.

Why is Northgiven invite-only right now?

We are starting with up to 100 approved adult permanent Florida residents, beginning in St. Petersburg. A small reviewed beta lets us test the experience and support processes before expanding.

What if I am not in St. Pete?

Adult permanent Florida residents can request an invitation for review. People outside Florida can join the expansion waitlist; they cannot create a dating profile during the initial Florida beta.

Will other people see my compatibility scores or trust signals?

Your raw assessment answers and behavioral trust log are not shown to other members. Northgiven processes information needed for matching and the features you choose. Member-facing fit summaries have limits; see the Privacy Policy for data uses and recipients.

Is Northgiven diagnosing my attachment style?

No. The assessment does not diagnose attachment, a condition or mental health. Its intended use is reflection and matching, and its questions and scoring still require review.

Why does Northgiven limit active conversations?

Conversation capacity is a design choice intended to leave room for attention. The app shows the limit available to your account. We have not established that a specific limit produces better relationship outcomes.

What happens if someone ghosts?

The available conversation controls let people make a next choice. Some activity or conduct signals can affect ranking. Silence alone cannot explain what happened in someone's life; use support if you need help with a concern.

Is Northgiven for monogamous people only?

No. Northgiven supports adults seeking serious romantic connection across genders, orientations, identities, and relationship structures, including monogamous and consensually non-monogamous users. The key is consent, honesty, and matching people whose relationship structure fits.

Does Northgiven run background checks?

Northgiven does not run background checks. Verification and additional safety tools are not confirmed launch features. A profile or internal signal is not proof of identity, intent or safety. You can use reporting and blocking when needed.

Can I delete my data?

Settings provides data export and account deletion controls, and an account-free deletion page is available. Deletion requires a final confirmation. Some restricted records and backup copies can remain under the applicable retention policy.

Why does Northgiven ask about relationship preferences?

Preferences and prompts can help you put important topics into words, including relationship structure, family plans, communication and boundaries. This is a design goal, not evidence that our questions produce better matches.

Northgiven has not established that its assessment predicts relationship outcomes. Questions, scoring, item rights and privacy controls need review before the beta opens.

Make room for the connections you want.

Northgiven brings profile preferences, assessment outputs and internal account signals into matching. You decide which introductions to explore.
