Traverse Safety Policy
Last Updated: 08/12/2024
At Traverse, the safety and well-being of our users is our top priority. This Safety Policy outlines guidelines and best practices to help you stay safe while using the app, particularly when interacting with other users or planning meetups. Please review this policy carefully and follow these recommendations to ensure a positive and secure experience on the platform.
Tips for Safe Meetups and Interactions
- Meet in Public Places: Always arrange to meet other users in well-lit, public areas where other people are present, such as cafes, parks, or public squares.
- Tell Someone: Inform a friend or family member of your plans, including where you're going, who you're meeting, and when you expect to return.
- Stay Sober and Alert: Avoid consuming excessive alcohol or drugs before or during a meetup to ensure you remain in control and aware of your surroundings.
- Trust Your Instincts: If something feels off or makes you uncomfortable, trust your instincts and remove yourself from the situation as quickly and safely as possible.
- Limit Personal Information: Be cautious about sharing personal information, such as your home address or financial details, with other users.
Reporting and Moderation
If you encounter any unsafe behavior, suspicious activity, or content that violates our guidelines, please report it immediately by contacting us at [email protected] . We take all reports seriously and will investigate any issues to ensure the safety of our community. Users found to be engaging in unsafe or inappropriate behavior may have their accounts suspended or terminated.
Personal Safety Tips
- Use In-App Messaging: Keep initial conversations within the app's messaging system to protect your privacy and avoid sharing personal contact details until you feel comfortable.
- Review Profiles Carefully: Take the time to review other users' profiles and interactions before agreeing to meet or travel with them. Look for red flags such as inconsistent information or aggressive behavior.
- Prepare for Emergencies: Keep a fully charged phone and emergency contacts readily available when attending meetups. Consider having a backup plan for transportation or exit strategies if needed.
Platform Limitations
While Traverse provides tools and resources to promote safety, it is important to remember that users are ultimately responsible for their own safety. We encourage you to use caution and common sense when interacting with others through the app. Traverse cannot guarantee the safety of interactions between users and is not liable for any incidents that may occur.
Emergency Situations
In the event of an emergency during a meetup or interaction, immediately contact local authorities or emergency services. If you feel your safety is at risk, prioritize getting to a safe location as quickly as possible. After ensuring your safety, please report the incident to us at [email protected] so we can take appropriate action.
