What Makes This Page Different

Result Logic

Inputs lead to an explainable result

The tool uses visible rules and returns reasons and cautions. Readers can change one answer and immediately see how the result changes.

Privacy

Answers stay in this browser session

The tool does not send answers to Afrolu, create an account, or store a profile. Reloading the page clears the result.

Limit

A result is not a guarantee

App activity, prices, people, and risk can change. Verify current details and use the result as a starting point, not proof of safety or compatibility.

Review Standard

Edge cases are handled before promotion

Required fields, uncertain answers, severe safety signals, zero values, fee calculations, keyboard use, and screen-reader announcements are part of the release test.

Tool Standard

What This Experience Does and Does Not Do

Clear inputs

Every result is tied to answers the reader can inspect and change.

Explainable result

Recommendations show reasons, cautions, and a practical next step rather than a mystery score.

Private by design

The calculation runs in the browser and does not submit or save answers.

Decision aid, not certainty

Results support judgement and never promise safety, compatibility, or current app pricing.

Private, severity-weighted safety aid

Check the behaviour before the next step

Answer only what you know. Severe warning signs override the score, and an unsure answer never produces a false “safe” result. Nothing entered below is submitted to or stored by Afrolu.

Select every behaviour that has happened

Leave an item unchecked if it has not happened or you do not know. An unchecked list is never proof that someone is safe.

Method · Limits · Primary Sources

How the safety result is built

The checker is a conservative Afrolu triage aid. Authoritative sources support the consent, scam, reporting, and emergency actions; they do not clinically or statistically validate Afrolu’s point thresholds.

Immediate help in Kenya: if danger is immediate, move to a safer place if possible and call police on 999, 112, or 911. Fichua kwa DCI is 0800 722 203; the national GBV helpline is 1195. This browser tool is not monitored and cannot dispatch help.
Published method

Published method: what the tool actually does

  1. Assign greater weight to behaviours that can involve immediate physical, sexual, financial, privacy, or coercion risk.
  2. Make threats, violence, coercion, confinement, stalking, blackmail, credential requests, and money requests hard stops that cannot be averaged away.
  3. Return the selected signals, the exact total, the threshold, and concrete next actions so the result can be inspected.
  4. Process answers in the browser only; do not transmit, store, diagnose, or label another person.
Important limitations

Important limitations: what the result cannot prove

  • A low result is not proof that a person or meeting is safe.
  • The checker is not an emergency service, medical assessment, legal opinion, or prediction of violence.
  • Context and unlisted behaviour can matter more than a numeric total.
  • If danger is immediate, use a safe exit and emergency or specialist support instead of continuing the questionnaire.

Reader Scenarios

How to Use This Guide Without Wasting Time

1

Reader checking the output

They completed the fields and need to distinguish a rule-based result from live evidence.

Best move
Read every reason and caution, correct any uncertain answer, and verify the live details named in the result.
Avoid
Do not treat the output as proof of safety, compatibility, availability, identity, or price.
Browse published resources →
2

Reader watching cost

A subscription or optional purchase is under consideration, but the current total and payment route are not yet clear.

Best move
Separate the displayed price, renewal period, taxes, extras, and payment route before authorising anything.
Avoid
Do not infer direct app-level M-PESA billing from Google Play M-PESA Xpress eligibility.
Estimate recurring cost →
3

Reader checking safety

A match may be applying money pressure, contradicting their story, avoiding ordinary checks, or pushing a private meeting.

Best move
Slow down, preserve evidence, keep money and credentials private, and use a busy public first-meeting plan.
Avoid
Do not let a low tool result override a severe warning sign or your decision to stop.
Read official-source safety guidance →
4

Reader auditing the model

They want to understand why the tool produced its result and what information it did not use.

Best move
Review the displayed method, source register, limitations, model version, and publication date.
Avoid
Do not assume a longer explanation means the underlying evidence supports a broader claim.

Tool Notes

How to Use This Decision Aid

How the Result Is Produced

The browser reads the visible form answers, applies deterministic rules, and writes an explanation into the result panel. No hidden profile, account history, or affiliate state changes the result.

What the Result Means

Use the result to narrow the next decision. Read the reasons and cautions, change any uncertain answer, and follow the linked editorial guidance before installing, paying, moving off-app, or meeting.

Important Limits

The checker cannot verify identity or predict harm. Threats, coercion, stalking, blackmail, fraud, or feeling unable to leave require direct help rather than more scoring.

Privacy and Data Handling

Answers are processed only in the current browser page. Afrolu does not submit, save, or aggregate them, and reloading or leaving the page clears the result.

How to Recheck the Decision

Run the tool again when your goal, location, budget, safety information, or subscription price changes. A fresh answer is more useful than treating an old result as permanent advice.

FAQ

Common Questions

How does Kenya Dating Safety Checker use my answers?

The calculation runs in your browser. Afrolu does not submit, save, sell, or aggregate the answers.

Is the result a guarantee?

No. It is a decision aid. It cannot guarantee safety, compatibility, app activity, or a current price.

Can I change an answer?

Yes. Change any field and calculate again, or use reset to clear the form and result.

Does an affiliate relationship change the result?

No. The tool uses fixed editorial rules; partner tracking and availability do not alter the calculation or order.

What should I do after seeing the result?

Read the reasons and cautions, verify current information, and use the linked guide before paying, sharing private details, or arranging a meeting.
