Who runs Granny Slags, and how our guides are written

The company behind the site

Granny Slags is run by Ambervine Inc, a Delaware company, 131 Continental Drive, Suite 305, Newark, DE 19713, USA. The domain has been registered since July 2011.

The site is for adults who want casual dating, built around people over 60, especially older women, and the adults of any age who'd like to meet them. Anyone 18 or over can join. Most readers are in the UK, then Australia, which is why our country pages start there; Ireland has a shorter page of its own.

The name, and how we use it

We know it's cheeky. It's been the site's name for years and we're keeping it, but it's a brand name, not a description of anyone. You won't find our members called anything of the sort in our guides.

We write about older women as what they are: adults who know their own minds, with no apology needed for wanting fun. And we write with equal respect for whoever is on the other side of the age gap, without assuming anything about their motives.

The partner network and billing

Granny Slags is one of several dating sites that share a single member database. Members of partner sites in the same network can see your profile and message you, and you can see theirs.

Payments are taken under the billing name shown at checkout, which may not be the Granny Slags name, so note it before you pay. How Granny Slags works explains what's free and what's paid.

What we check, and what we don't

Every member photo is reviewed. What members write about themselves is not checked. Members can buy an optional ID badge, which shows that a photo ID matched a selfie; some accounts are required to verify.

We say this plainly because it shapes how you should date here: take your time, video call, and never send money. Our safety and consent page has the detail.

How our guides are written

Our guides are general information written for readers first, and every outside fact can be traced to its source. The rules we work to:

1. People first. Each guide answers a question real readers ask, in plain English, and stops when it has answered it.
2. Primary sources only. Health information comes from the NHS, the HSE in Ireland and Australian state health services; scam and crime advice comes from police and government reporting services. Every outside fact is listed under Sources on the page.
3. Dated. Each page shows when it was last updated, so you can judge how fresh a phone number or reporting route is.
4. No invented people. No made-up members, quotes, testimonials or statistics. Example messages are labelled as examples.
5. Health guides are reviewed before they go live. Pages about sex and health after menopause are held back until a qualified clinician has reviewed them. Until then, our country pages, such as the UK page, point to official health services.
6. Not advice. Our guides are general information, not medical or legal advice. Our terms of use say more.

You'll find the finished guides on the guides page.
