At Flagged & Fated, your safety and comfort are our top priorities. To create a secure environment where you can confidently connect, we require all participants to complete a thorough vetting process, including a background check. Here’s what you can expect:

Our goal is to ensure everyone attending our events is trustworthy and respectful. Background checks help us screen out individuals with violent or harmful histories, so you can focus on meeting great people, worry-free.

We conduct a standard criminal background check, reviewing public records for any violent offenses or serious red flags. We do NOT access or share any sensitive personal data beyond what’s necessary to ensure safety.

• After you purchase your ticket, We then run your background check through a trusted, secure service.
• You’ll then receive a confirmation email with a link to schedule your vetting interview with one of our founders.
• This process usually takes 2–6 business days.
• Once cleared, you’ll receive a confirmation email with your event details and next steps.

If the background check raises concerns, we’ll reach out privately to discuss next steps. Our goal is always fairness and transparency, and we respect your privacy throughout the process.

All information collected during vetting and background checks is kept strictly confidential and used solely to maintain a safe community. We never share your data with third parties beyond what’s necessary for the check itself.

Q: Can I attend if I have minor offenses on my record?
A: Each case is reviewed individually. Our main concern is safety for all participants.

Q: How long does the whole vetting process take?
