FAQ

Questions, answered.

Is Honeytrap a real dating app?

It looks like one. That’s the idea. Honeytrap is a parody, with a real waitlist for whatever happens next.

Is it free?

Joining the waitlist is free. If the app launches, the basics will be free, with optional upgrades. Nothing is billed today.

Is this affiliated with any government, company, or person in the news?

No. Honeytrap is satire. It is not affiliated with any government, intelligence service, company, or person.

What do you do with my email?

We use it to tell you when we have news. That’s it. You can unsubscribe anytime. See Privacy.

Are the profiles real?

The photographs on this page are generated for the campaign. Fictional profiles, not a roster of real people.

When do you launch?

No date yet. If you join the waitlist, we’ll write when we have one.
