Online Reputation Management & Tinder

What is Tinder?

Tinder used primarily for casual online

dating or “hookups” for adults.

What could go wrong, since it’s anonymous?

Well, plenty.

Well, plenty.

● Disgruntled ex-business associates

● Recently fired employees

● Anyone with an axe to grind could...

● Exploit this by taking personal information and engage in an internet smear campaign.

● They could misconstrue an intention of meeting new people or making new business connections on Tinder as looking for hookup sex or wishing to have an affair.

If information like this comes out online, it could result in...

● Ruined business● Lost deals● Broken business or personal

relationships

It could really impact someone’s online reputation in several ways:

1. Facebook Biographical Text

Often the text about you on Facebook is (very) personal.

This all makes it extremely easy to identify the poster, and if someone is identified, then they are open to online reputation management problems.

2. Imported Images from FacebookA handful of Images are pulled directly from Facebook’s Public image folder into Tinder.

Although this makes setup easy, it could leave the user open to problems, however.

Having clearly identifiable photos can break the anonymity of the user.

3. Shared Facebook FriendsAnother element to Tinder is that shared Friends are identified and listed on the profile.

This can inspire more credibility and thus instill a certain level of trust in connecting with someone else.

However, it also makes it very easy to reveal the user’s identity.

4. Facebook GroupsThe last bit of information that is shared on Tinder are Facebook Groups, which are listed if you have any incommon.

These can be a challenge because someone could see the Groups and look through them to identify the user.

Also, the Tinder user might not what others to see what group they are part of.

Again, a disgruntled ex-employee or an old client who is on Facebook can find this information and might be able to use it to their advantage by writing negative things about the person.

Here are some ways to minimize online reputation damage when using Tinder.

How to protect yourself?

The first way to to protect your web reputation is to change the bio text that’s imported to Tinder.

1. Re-write bio text

Selectively add images to Facebook that show only part of your and not your face, don't show anyone else, and avoid including specific details about the location.

2. Be careful of the images that are displayed.
