Trust & safety

How Meridian protects your attention, your data and your work.

Consent before contact

No one can message you until you accept their collaboration request. There is no way to buy around it, and no bulk-messaging tooling exists on the platform.

Verification you can interpret

A verified badge means we checked identity and, where applicable, professional registration. We publish exactly what was checked rather than implying a general endorsement.

Reviews tied to real work

Reviews come from members who collaborated through the platform. Nobody can buy, gift or bulk-generate a rating.

Your data stays yours

Contact details are never shown before both sides accept. We do not sell member data and we do not run advertising.

Report anything

Every profile, message and project can be reported. Reports reach a human, and we tell you what we did about it.

Payment safety

Keep negotiations and files inside Meridian. Nobody from our team will ever ask for your password, and a request to move payment off-platform is the single most common warning sign.

Warning signs worth stopping for

A request to move the conversation to a personal channel immediately.
Pressure to start work before anything is written down.
Payment requested up front to “secure” an opportunity.
A profile with no history, no portfolio and an urgent deadline.
Anyone asking for your password or a verification code.
Offers that avoid naming the company or the actual work.
