Safety Guidelines

While the GoHobby app is meant to be fun, friendly, and very neighborly, it’s important to connect responsibly when meeting new people online. As with most online match-up sites, we recommend taking extra safety precautions.

Here are a few simple guidelines on how to use GoHobby to better protect your personal information and safety.

  • Meet in public places
  • Be sure to update your security contacts in the app and verify that the “Notify my security contacts” option is turned on.
  • Check the organizer rating in the app.
  • Keep all communications within the GoHobby platform.
  • Arrange for your own transportation to and from a meeting location.
  • Stay sober.
  • Safeguard your private information and personal data.
  • Leave valuables at home whenever possible.
  • Always report any suspicious activities by members, such as:
    – Requests for financial information or assistance.
    – Requests for photographs.
    – Minors using the app.
    – Harassing or offensive language, messages, or chats.
    – Any attempts to threaten or intimidate.
    – The use of fake profiles.
    – Solicitation or sales offers.

Trust your instincts. When in doubt, bow out!
