Secure Your Finances & Never Send Money or Financial Information
At Proposal, we do not ask for money from any improper channels such as calling you, wire transfer, electronic transfer, western union, email transfer, or via chatting. For our paid feature, we use third party to charge our users for premium features, in most cases, it will be Google pay or Apple Pay, for more information visit Privacy Policy. Never respond to any request to send money, especially overseas or via wire transfer, and if you receive any suspicious request, please report it to us immediately – even if the person claims to be in an emergency. Wiring money is like sending cash: the sender has no protections against loss and it’s nearly impossible to reverse the transaction or trace the money.

Protect your personal information
You are always in control of your Proposal experience – remain anonymous until you feel ready. Be careful about sharing your personal information when talking with others, information such as your full name, phone number, email and address. Protect your identity until you are comfortable enough with someone to share it. Also, do not give out any personal contact information out of your Proposal profile.
Note: Proposal will never send you an email asking for your username and password information. Any such communication should be reported immediately. Proposal will only send you password reset information only if it is requested from your account.
