About Olivia Raven: a brand, not a person

The name belongs to a brand

Olivia Raven is the name of this dating site, and nothing more. It isn't a pen name, a founder, a model or a creator. No woman called Olivia Raven runs the site, writes the guides, appears in its pictures or talks to members, and the site has no connection with any person who shares the name.

We say this plainly because many people arrive searching for a person. If that's you, she isn't here, and nothing on this site is about her. We would rather you knew straight away than felt misled.

Who runs Olivia Raven?

Olivia Raven is run by Ambervine Inc, a Delaware company, 131 Continental Drive, Suite 305, Newark, DE 19713, USA. This website holds the guides; the dating service itself lives in the members area, which has its own terms and privacy policy.

The members area shares one member database with a network of partner sites. That means your profile can be seen and messaged by members of those sites, and you can see theirs; profiles show which site a member joined through. Payments are taken at checkout, and the billing name shown at checkout is the one to look for on your statement. How the site works explains the practical side, and key facts puts the essentials on one page.

Who it's for

Olivia Raven is for adults aged 18 and over, mainly in Ireland and the UK. The guides are written with two groups in mind:

• Women in relationships who want to explore, and want to think carefully about privacy, safety and what they actually want before they do.
• Anyone in, or considering, an open or non-monogamous relationship, where a partner knows and has agreed. Ethical non-monogamy explained is the place to start.

Men are welcome to join too. Nobody here will judge you for being monogamous, open, or still working it out.

What "women first" means, and what it doesn't

"Women first" describes how we write: which questions we answer, whose safety we think about first, and a tone that is frank about desire without being seedy. It is not a separate set of features. The members area works the same way for everyone:

We don't promise women-only areas, free messaging for women or extra checks, because the platform doesn't offer them.

How the guides are written

The guides are there to help you make decisions, not to sell memberships. These are our rules:

1. Facts are sourced. Laws, helplines and health services are checked against the official source, listed at the foot of each page, and each page shows the date it was last updated.
2. Product claims stick to what the platform does. No member numbers, success stories or testimonials. Any example message or conversation is labelled as an example.
3. No fake people. The brand has no persona. We write as "we", the Olivia Raven editorial team; nobody writes as Olivia Raven.
4. Consent and honesty come first. Relationship guides assume everyone involved knows and agrees. We don't give advice on deceiving a partner, tracking anyone or hiding money.
5. Corrections. If you spot a mistake, tell us through the members help centre, and we'll fix it and update the date on the page.

The guides are general information, not counselling, legal or medical advice. Where it matters, they point to professional help.
