Safety & trust
Travel connected. Meet responsibly.
TripCircle helps travelers discover people who may be interested in
sharing activities and experiences. Every traveler is responsible for
deciding who they meet, where they meet, and whether an interaction
feels appropriate and safe.
Your safety comes first
Use good judgment before meeting anyone.
TripCircle can help create connections, but it cannot guarantee
another person’s identity, intentions, conduct, background, or
suitability. Review profiles carefully, communicate clearly, and
never feel pressured to meet or continue an interaction.
Meet publicly
Choose a public location
Meet for the first time in a busy, well-lit public place such as a
café, museum, restaurant, hotel lobby, organized tour, or other
established venue. Avoid private homes, isolated areas, or
unfamiliar locations for an initial meeting.
Stay connected
Tell someone where you are going
Share your plans with a trusted friend or family member. Let them
know who you are meeting, where you will be, when you expect to
return, and how they can reach you.
Protect yourself
Keep personal information private
Do not share passwords, financial information, verification codes,
passport details, home addresses, hotel room numbers, or other
sensitive information with people you have recently met.
Transportation
Maintain control of your travel plans
Arrange your own transportation whenever possible. Keep your
phone charged, know how you will leave, and avoid becoming
dependent on another person for transportation, lodging, money,
or access to important belongings.
Comfort and consent
Respect boundaries
Participation in any activity must be voluntary. Respect another
person’s boundaries, decisions, personal space, and right to end
an interaction at any time. A match or conversation never creates
an obligation to meet.
Trust your instincts
Leave when something feels wrong
You may cancel or leave a meeting at any time. You do not need to
justify prioritizing your safety. If a person behaves
suspiciously, aggressively, dishonestly, or disrespectfully,
remove yourself from the situation.
Alcohol and substances
Stay aware and in control
Be cautious with alcohol or any substance that could impair your
judgment. Keep drinks within your control, do not accept unknown
substances, and never pressure another person to consume
something.
Payments and scams
Never send money to another user
Be cautious of requests involving money, gift cards, transfers,
investments, travel emergencies, booking fees, or financial
assistance. TripCircle should not be used to solicit money,
promote financial opportunities, or conduct suspicious
transactions.
Community expectations
Help create a respectful community.
Everyone using TripCircle is expected to communicate honestly,
respect others, and follow applicable laws.
