Trust & Ethics
Built for safer decisions — not public shaming.
IRLRisk is intended to help people assess risk before meeting, hiring, selling to, renting to, or otherwise engaging with unknown contacts. Reports are community submitted and must be handled carefully, fairly, and respectfully.
Privacy by default
We do not sell personal data. Searches and reports collect only what is needed to assess a contact risk.
Fairness & moderation
Reports are reviewed for abuse, harassment, discrimination, revenge posting, and unsupported claims.
No identity targeting
The service does not collect, infer, or expose Indigenous identity, ethnicity, religion, gender identity, or other sensitive identity attributes.
Canada-focused safety
Designed around Canadian users, Canadian contact methods, and real-world safety scenarios such as classifieds, dating, rentals, and client meetings.

Indigenous community commitment
We recognize that Indigenous women, girls, Two-Spirit people, families, and communities in Canada face disproportionate safety risks. IRLRisk does not claim to solve those harms. Instead, the goal is to offer a practical tool that can be shaped with community input and made accessible where it may help with safer decision-making.
Any Indigenous-specific messaging, design, training material, or outreach is reviewed with Indigenous advisors or partner organizations before public launch.
