3. Physical Meetup Safety

Join do enables connections for physical events — your safety during meetups is your responsibility. Please follow these rules:

Do:

Meet in public, busy and well-lit places (sports facility, parks, cafés)
Inform a trusted person of your plan in advance for first meetings
Confirm location and time clearly beforehand
Cancel without hesitation if you have any concerns
Keep emergency numbers accessible (Türkiye: 112 medical, 155 police; EU: 112)

Don't:

Go to private homes or remote places with someone you have just met
Share private addresses, banking data or passwords
Transfer money, gifts or valuables
Be impaired (alcohol/substances) in unfamiliar settings

In an emergency, call local authorities first and then notify support@joindo.app.

4. Your Responsibilities

You are fully responsible for your content and interactions. Make sure:

All images, text and events you share belong to you or that you have permission from rights holders
Content does not harm other users or violate the law
You behave with sportsmanship at offline meetups
If you are organising an event, you take basic care to provide for participant safety

5. Reporting

When you see content or behaviour that violates these rules, let us know. Reports help us keep the community safer.

5.1 How to report

Reporting a profile:

Open the user's profile and tap the three-dot icon at the top right
Select Report
Choose a reason

Reporting a message or person in a chat:

Open the profile of the person who sent the message
Tap the three-dot icon at the top right and select Report and Block
Choose a reason and describe the chat and message in your explanation
If needed, you can also email support@joindo.app with a screenshot

Reporting an event:

Open the event detail screen and tap the three-dot icon
Select Report Event
Choose a reason

Reporting a Highlight (DoStatus) post:

While viewing the post, tap the three-dot icon
Select Report

Reporting a group:

On the group page, tap the three-dot icon

Choose a reason

When you report a profile, the user is blocked at the same time; you can unblock them at any time in Account Settings → Blocked Users.

5.2 Reporting via email

You can also email support@joindo.app directly; for severe cases (violent threats, suspected child abuse) email is preferred.

6. Action Policy

6.1 Join do reviews reports within 24 hours. Severe safety cases (harassment, threats, child safety) are prioritised.

6.2 Possible actions for confirmed breaches:

Severity	Action
First minor breach	Warning + reminder of guidelines
Second breach	Final warning + content removal
Third breach	Permanent account ban
Severe case (child safety, violence, fraud)	Immediate permanent ban + legal notification

6.3 You may appeal a decision by contacting support@joindo.app. Appeals are reviewed within a reasonable time.

7. Event and Group Chats

In event chats the event organiser, and in groups the group owner and admins, have authority to remove people who violate these guidelines from the chat or group. Group owners and admins also manage rooms, pinned messages and join requests. These powers must not be abused; serious cases are escalated to Join do through reporting.

You can delete your own messages at any time; event organisers and group admins can also delete messages in the chats they manage. A deleted message is replaced by a note showing who deleted it.

7.1 Highlight posts

All of these guidelines also apply to Highlight posts (text or photo). Do not share other people's photos without their permission, and do not use reactions (likes, emojis) to harass anyone.

7.2 Partner reviews

The partner review you give after an event, match or friendship must be honest. Fake, revenge or coordinated negative reviews are prohibited. Your review is not shown to the other person with your identity; reports of harassment or non-sport intent automatically become a report record and are reviewed.

8. Blocking

When you block a user:

They cannot send you messages
They cannot view your profile or discover you
They cannot join your events
One-to-one messages from them are not delivered after block

Block works both ways and can be lifted at any time.

9. Automated Content Filtering

Visual content: All uploaded photographs are processed through an AI-based NSFW (adult content) detection model; inappropriate images are not allowed and the account is reported.
Voice messages and GIFs: Voice messages are not scanned automatically; if reported, they may be reviewed by the moderation team. GIFs and stickers from GIPHY are limited to a PG-13 rating.
Text content: Messages, statuses and event descriptions with high-risk content (profanity, harassment, spam indicators) are flagged with a colour code for the Join do moderation team. Your content is not auto-removed or auto-hidden — only reviewed by a human moderator.

10. Emergencies

10.1 Suspected child abuse

If you observe anything that raises a child-safety concern, contact support@joindo.app immediately. Join do cooperates with the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) and competent law-enforcement authorities in Türkiye.

10.2 Self-harm / suicide

If you see content suggesting self-harm or suicide:

Türkiye: 182 (Ministry of Health Information Line), 112 medical emergency
EU and UK: 116 123 (Samaritans international)
United States: 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline)

Join do prioritises review of such content and provides referrals to professional help where appropriate.

10.3 Hate attack or violence

If you face an immediate threat, contact local law enforcement first and report to Join do afterwards.
