Hi I’m recently out (LGBTQ) based in North America and trying to make sure my sexual identity/preferences are private. It’s very important to me that employers don’t know I’m on the apps and what I want in a partner. It’s not their business.

Do you have any advice for how I can create dating accounts so that employers don’t see them?

Anything I should know about the photos I post or how to delete the data when I’m done with the app? If I have had profiles in the past how do I make sure they’re deleted/hidden?

Is Google Voice an ok way to mask my ID/phone number from employer checks?

Should I always be using a vpn?

Anything else I should know.
