Weefou helps people connect with clear intent for friendship, dating, events, travel, networking, communities, activities, and real-life plans.

Your safety is important. Before meeting someone in real life, please read and follow these safety tips.

1. Meet in a Public Place

For your first meetup, always choose a public and safe location.

Recommended places:

• Cafe
• Restaurant
• Mall
• Public park
• Event venue
• Co-working space
• Popular public place
• Well-lit location with people around

Avoid:

• Private homes
• Isolated places
• Unknown locations
• Empty parking areas
• Hotel rooms
• Remote travel spots
• Any place that feels unsafe or uncomfortable

2. Tell Someone You Trust

Before meeting someone, inform a trusted friend or family member.

Share:

• Where you are going
• Who you are meeting
• Meetup time
• Expected return time
• Basic profile details of the person
• Live location, if you feel comfortable sharing with a trusted person

Do not keep your first meetup secret.

3. Arrange Your Own Transport

Use your own transport or a trusted transport option.

Safety tips:

• Do not depend on the other person for pickup or drop
• Avoid sharing your home address too early
• Avoid getting into a private vehicle with someone you just met
• Keep enough money and battery for emergency travel
• Keep your ride option ready if you need to leave

4. Keep Your Phone Charged

Before going to a meetup:

• Charge your phone
• Keep mobile data active
• Keep emergency contacts saved
• Carry a power bank, if needed
• Make sure your phone can make calls

Your phone is important for communication, maps, emergency support, and transport.

5. Protect Your Personal Information

Do not share sensitive personal details too early.

Avoid sharing:

• Home address
• Workplace address
• Daily routine
• Family details
• Financial details
• Government ID
• OTPs
• Passwords
• UPI PIN
• Bank details
• Private documents
• Exact live location with unknown users

Share personal information only when you fully trust the person.

6. Do Not Send Money

Never send money to someone you meet on Weefou.

Be careful if someone asks for:

• Emergency money
• Travel money
• Medical help
• Recharge
• Gifts
• Loans
• Investment money
• Crypto or trading funds
• Event ticket payment outside trusted channels
• UPI transfer
• Bank transfer

If someone asks for money, report the user.

7. Trust Your Instincts

If something feels wrong, it is okay to leave.

You can leave if:

• The person makes you uncomfortable
• The place feels unsafe
• The person pressures you
• The person behaves aggressively
• The person asks for money
• The person asks for private photos or documents
• The person refuses to respect boundaries
• The person gives inconsistent information

Your comfort and safety come first.

8. Set Clear Boundaries

You have the right to say no.

You can say no to:

• Meeting offline
• Changing location
• Going somewhere private
• Sharing your phone number
• Sharing social media
• Physical contact
• Staying longer
• Drinking alcohol
• Travelling together
• Sharing private details

A respectful person will accept your boundaries.

9. Do Not Feel Pressured

You are not required to meet anyone just because you matched, chatted, or accepted a plan request.

You can:

• Decline a meetup
• Cancel a plan
• Reschedule
• Leave early
• Block the user
• Report unsafe behaviour

If someone pressures you after you say no, report them.

10. Avoid Alcohol or Substance Pressure

Be careful if someone pressures you to drink, use substances, or lose control.

Safety tips:

• Do not accept drinks from unknown users
• Do not leave your drink unattended
• Avoid excessive drinking during first meetings
• Do not use unknown substances
• Leave if someone pressures you

Your safety and awareness matter.

11. Verify Basic Details

Before meeting, check basic details through chat.

You may confirm:

• Name
• Meetup place
• Time
• Purpose of meetup
• Public location
• Plan details
• Any cost involved
• Event or venue details

If the person avoids basic clarity or changes details suddenly, be careful.

12. Be Careful With Last-Minute Location Changes

Avoid sudden changes to private or isolated places.

Be careful if someone says:

• Come to my place instead
• Let's go somewhere quiet
• Don't tell anyone
• Send me your exact location
• I'll pick you up
• Let's meet at a hotel
• Change the plan, trust me

If the new location feels unsafe, decline the meetup.

13. Group Meetups and Events

For group plans or events:

• Check event location
• Confirm time and entry details
• Avoid fake or unclear events
• Do not pay unknown users directly
• Meet in visible public areas
• Keep your belongings safe
• Stay with trusted people if possible
• Leave if the event feels unsafe

Report fake, unsafe, or misleading events.

14. Travel Meetup Safety

Be extra careful with travel-related meetups.

Avoid:

• Sharing hotel address with unknown users
• Travelling alone with someone you just met
• Sending money for tickets
• Sharing ID documents casually
• Going to remote places on first meetup
• Depending fully on another person for transport or stay

Travel plans should be made slowly, safely, and with full clarity.
