Code of Conduct

Last updated 9 November 2026

NearbyCompanion works because people treat each other with respect. Everyone, members and companions alike, agrees to these rules.

Friendship and activities only

• No dating, romantic or sexual requests or offers.
• No escort services, "girlfriend/boyfriend experience" or anything similar, even as a joke.
• No requests to stay overnight or to meet in homes, hotels or private rooms.

Be safe

• Meet in busy public places and keep Safe Meet on.
• Don't ask for or share OTPs, passwords or bank details.
• Keep payments in the app (Secure Pay) or agree them openly in a meet proposal.
• Leave any meet where you feel unsafe. Your safety matters more than the plan.

Be respectful

• No harassment, threats, hate speech or discrimination.
• No pressure after someone says no.
• Turn up on time, or cancel early in the app.

Be honest

• Use your real name and recent photos of yourself only.
• No fake reviews, spam, scams or impersonation.
• You must be 18 or older.

What happens when rules are broken

Reports are reviewed within 24 hours, and SOS cases immediately. Depending on severity we may give a warning, remove content, suspend or permanently ban the account, withhold Secure Pay payouts, and report the matter to law enforcement.
