safe call

Not ruled out

A safe call is a prearranged check-in, typically a phone call at a specified time, used to verify someone's safety during a potentially risky situation.

Common in dating, BDSM encounters, or meeting strangers: I have a safe call set up with my roommate for 10 PM.

If the call doesn't come or a code word is used, the contact knows to send help.
