Last updated: March 18, 2025

At Boora, our goal is to create a safe, welcoming, and light environment where people can connect and do things together in the city. Meeting new people is great, but your safety always comes first.

Use common sense and follow these safety and etiquette tips to have a positive experience.

1. Before joining an activity

🔹 Prefer public places
Meet in public, busy, and well-lit places.

🔹 Tell someone you trust
Share the activity details with a friend or family member, including location and expected return time.

🔹 Use Boora’s chat
Talk through the in-app chat. It’s safer and helps keep everything organized.

🔹 Control your transportation
Go and return on your own whenever possible. That way, you can leave at any time if needed.

🔹 Check AI-generated suggestions
Boora’s suggestions are meant to inspire, but may not reflect real-time conditions. Verify information about the place before going.

🔹 Understand the local context
Learn about local customs, schedules, rules, and habits to avoid uncomfortable situations.

2. During the activity

Personal safety

✔ Stay alert
Watch your belongings and drinks. Avoid drinking too much alcohol so you stay aware and in control.

✔ Trust your instincts
If something feels off, don’t hesitate to leave. Your safety is the priority.

✔ Ask for help if needed
If you feel unsafe, seek help from staff, authorities, or someone you trust.

Etiquette and social behavior

✔ Respect people
Be polite, inclusive, and respectful. Avoid sensitive topics if the group isn’t comfortable.

✔ Value differences
Boora connects people with different stories, cultures, and perspectives. That’s part of the experience.

✔ Split expenses
Be prepared to pay your share. Digital payments or cash help.

✔ Tips
Follow local customs when you’re at bars, restaurants, or services.

3. After the activity

Staying connected safely

✅ Keep contact in the app
Continue chatting on Boora and only share personal information with people you trust.

✅ Report problems
If anything inappropriate or unsafe happens, use the reporting tool. Reports are confidential.

Transportation

✅ Don’t drive under the influence
Use alternative transportation if you’ve been drinking.

✅ Be careful with rides
Avoid accepting rides from strangers, especially if alcohol is involved.

4. Blocking and reporting users

🚨 Block for your safety
When you block someone, they can no longer see your profile or contact you.

🚨 Report serious behavior
Blocking does not automatically send a report. If someone violates the rules, report them in the app.
