Match Group announced that it has invested in and partnered with Noonlight. Match Group plans to roll out Noonlight's advanced technology to U.S. users across its various brands, beginning with Tinder on January 28. This partnership is part of Match Group's ongoing commitment to invest in the latest technology to empower users to keep themselves safer on and offline. Match Group brands will leverage Noonlight's proprietary technology and APIs to power new safety features, enabling users to access emergency services and transmit highly accurate location data within the Noonlight app, without requiring a 911 phone call or the ability to talk or text. This service makes personal emergency services easily available for a mobile-first audience. Match Group will become the first dating company to invest in an emergency response service, allowing Tinder users in the U.S. to have help sent directly to them via Noonlight. The Noonlight integration will allow users to input details of upcoming dates within a Tinder Timeline feature, including who they are meeting, where they are going and when they will meet. Users will then have the ability to trigger a response within Noonlight's app to discreetly alert emergency services if they feel their safety may be at risk or are in need of assistance. If an alarm is triggered, Noonlight's certified dispatchers will reach out to check on the user and alert emergency responders if needed, providing them with critical, contextual information from the Tinder user's Timeline. Tinder will begin rolling out the Noonlight Timeline feature on Tuesday, January 28, along with Photo Verification, which will help verify a match's authenticity, "Does This Bother You?," a harassment detection prompt powered by machine learning, and a revamped in-app Tinder Safety Center. Match will roll out Noonlight later this year as part of its new Safety Center, along with Selfie Verification and Date Check-In, a new feature which will allow users to automatically notify friends and family of their plans while on a Match date. Other Match Group U.S. brands will be integrating Noonlight onto their platforms in the coming months. The Noonlight partnership is part of Match Group's ongoing commitment to creating and investing in the latest technology to combat bad actors and provide users with tools to help keep them safer. Match Group currently uses a network of automated and manual moderation and review tools, systems and processes aimed to prevent, detect and remove people who engage in inappropriate behavior on Match Group products.
