Kirsty aims to revolutionize the $4Billion industry of online dating by creating a first-of-a-kind safety app to finally address a problem conveniently ignored by companies, but feared by roughly half of the 50 million online daters in the USA, the lack of security and recurrent fraud (Aka, assault, rape, murder, theft, etc).

Clear Sparrow allows the anonymous exchange of verifiable (3rd party) background data between 2 people before or during a date with the click of a button.

Business models like Clear Sparrow's are now possible for the first time thanks to the data integrity, transaction audibility, and transparency features of Blockchain and the speed, scalability, and affordability of BSV.

Kirsty firmly believes that it is time for people to OWN their safety, OWN their data, and use it to date fearlessly.
