Safety & Community Guidelines

Last updated: October 2026

Short version

Meet in public, look out for each other, show up when you say you will, and report anything that feels wrong. We would rather lose a user than lose your trust.

Meet in public, especially the first time

First meetings happen in public places - cafes, parks, trails, studios, event spaces.
Tell a friend where you are going and when you expect to be back.
Arrange your own transport there and back, and keep your phone charged.
Never share your home address for a first meet. Hosts list a public meeting point, not a private home.

Know who is coming

RSVP lists are visible to the host and fellow attendees, so you can see names and shared interests before you arrive.
Keep your profile accurate - a real first name and a real photo help everyone feel at ease.
If an activity looks off - no clear meeting point, unusual requests - do not go. Report it instead.

Trust your instincts

You can leave any activity at any time, for any reason, without explaining yourself.
If someone makes you uncomfortable in chat, stop replying, block them, and report the conversation.
No one from Compass will ever ask for your password, payment details, or money to attend an activity.

Community standards

Show up, or cancel early. Hosts plan around headcounts - flaking without a word hurts the group.
Be respectful. Harassment, hate speech, discrimination, and sexual misconduct are not tolerated and lead to removal.
Compass is for meeting people through activities - not selling, soliciting, or spamming.
Keep listings honest: real activity, real place, real capacity.

Hosting safely

Pick a public, well-lit first venue and a precise meeting point attendees can find.
Cap your group at a size you can actually look after.
Say what to bring, what it costs (if anything), and how long it lasts - surprises are for birthdays.

Reporting, blocking, and emergencies

Use Report on any activity, profile, or chat. Blocking stops all contact immediately.
We review reports and remove people who break these guidelines - repeat offenders are banned.
In an emergency, call your local emergency services first. Compass is not a substitute for 911.

Questions or concerns?

Report from any activity or chat, or from Profile → Settings. See also our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
