Safety Guidelines

Before visiting a place

• Confirm land ownership, access rules, permits, fire restrictions, closures, weather, road conditions, and vehicle clearance using authoritative local sources.
• Tell someone where you are going and when you expect to check in.
• Do not rely on a single user review for safety-critical decisions.

When meeting another user

• Meet in a populated public place during daylight when possible.
• Keep your own transportation and do not share more personal information than necessary.
• Tell a trusted person who you are meeting, where, and when.
• Leave immediately if something feels wrong. You do not owe anyone politeness at the expense of safety.

Location privacy

• Avoid publicly posting an exact overnight location while you are still there.
• Use approximate or delayed location sharing when exact location is unnecessary.
• Never expose another person's location without clear permission.

Marketplace safety

• Be cautious with deposits, gift cards, wire transfers, cryptocurrency, overpayment stories, or pressure to act immediately.
• Inspect equipment and vehicles, verify ownership, and use written documentation for significant transactions.
• Do not send identity documents or payment credentials through chat.

Protect places

Stay on legal routes, respect closures and private property, pack out waste, minimize noise, use established sites when required, and avoid exposing sensitive wildlife, cultural, or fragile locations.

Report concerns

Use in-app reporting when available, block unwanted contact, preserve relevant evidence, and contact safety@roammeetexplore.com for safety-related platform concerns.
