Triphile Community Guidelines

Travel better. Treat people better.

The Triphile community exists for one reason:

to help people find others they can actually travel with.

We’re building this around real trips, real people and shared travel interests.

Here’s how we keep the community useful, respectful and safe.

1. BE RESPECTFUL

Treat every traveller with basic respect.

No:

• Harassment
• Bullying
• Threats
• Hate speech
• Discrimination
• Personal attacks
• Intimidation

Different travel styles, budgets and opinions are welcome.

2. KEEP IT ABOUT TRAVEL

The Triphile community is for travel.

If you want to find companions for a trip, fill out the Triphile form.

Members should not directly post their own companion requests in the community.

Our team handles the process so we can understand the trip and find people who may be suitable.

3. TRIPHILE IS NOT A DATING COMMUNITY

Tripihle is about travelling together.

It is not a dating app.

Don’t use the community to:

• Look for dates
• Make unwanted romantic advances
• Make sexual advances
• Pressure someone into a romantic or sexual interaction
• Treat the community as a dating platform

Friendships and relationships may naturally develop. Using Triphile primarily to pursue them is not allowed.

4. RESPECT BOUNDARIES

If someone doesn’t want to connect, respect their decision.

Don’t repeatedly contact someone after they ask you to stop.

Don’t pressure people to share:

• Phone numbers
• Social accounts
• Photos
• Location
• Personal information
• Travel documents
• Financial information

5. PROTECT OTHER PEOPLE’S PRIVACY

Don’t share another member’s:

• Phone number
• Photos
• Messages
• Social profiles
• Personal information
• Travel plans

outside the community without their permission.

Don’t share screenshots of private conversations without consent.

6. BE HONEST

Don’t intentionally misrepresent:

• Your age
• Identity
• Location
• Travel experience
• Travel intentions
• Budget
• Availability
• Other information that could materially affect a trip

During our current manual process, Triphile may review voluntarily provided social or professional profiles and speak with potential travellers before making introductions.

This helps us make better introductions but does not guarantee someone’s identity or safety.

7. NO SCAMS OR SUSPICIOUS MONEY REQUESTS

Don’t use Triphile to:

• Scam people
• Defraud members
• Request suspicious payments
• Sell fake bookings
• Promote fraudulent opportunities
• Collect money deceptively
• Ask members for loans

If something feels suspicious, tell a Triphile admin.

8. NO SPAM

Don’t use the community for:

• Unsolicited advertising
• Referral spam
• Affiliate links
• Mass promotions
• Unrelated businesses
• Repeated promotional messages

9. TRIP GROUPS

If Triphile connects travellers who agree to travel together, we may create a separate WhatsApp group for that trip.

Use the group to plan the trip together.

Be:

• Clear about expectations
• Honest about your budget
• Honest about your availability
• Respectful of other people’s decisions
• Considerate when plans change

Don’t pressure someone to spend more than they agreed to.

10. KEEP YOUR INFORMATION SAFE

Don’t unnecessarily share:

• Government IDs
• Bank details
• Passwords
• OTPs
• Exact home address
• Financial information

Tripihle will never ask for your password or OTP.

Be careful before sending money or booking anything through another traveller.

11. TRAVEL RESPONSIBLY

You are responsible for your own travel decisions.

Before travelling, consider:

• Accommodation
• Transportation
• Insurance
• Emergency contacts
• Local laws
• Weather
• Your own comfort level

Do not participate in activities you believe are unsafe or illegal.

12. SAFETY CONCERNS

If another member makes you uncomfortable or you believe there is a serious safety concern, contact a Triphile admin.

You can report:

• Harassment
• Threats
• Scams
• Suspicious behaviour
• Fake information
• Unwanted sexual behaviour
• Serious conduct concerns

If you’re in immediate danger, contact local emergency services first.

13. ADMINS MAY MODERATE

Tripihle admins may:

• Remove messages
• Ask members to stop certain behaviour
• Remove people from groups
• Remove people from the community
• Decline to create a trip group
• Restrict participation
• Investigate reports
• Take other reasonable moderation actions

We may take action when behaviour creates a serious trust or safety concern even if it isn’t specifically listed above.

14. REPORTING

If you need to report something, contact a Triphile admin through the official Triphile communication channel.

Where possible, provide:

• What happened
• Who was involved
• When it happened
• Relevant screenshots or messages
• Why you believe it violates the guidelines

Please don’t publicly expose another member while reporting an issue.

15. AGE

Triphile is 18+ by default.

During the current pre-launch WhatsApp community and manual matching phase, Triphile may make a limited exception for someone around 17 where appropriate parent or guardian consent is obtained.

This is a temporary pre-launch exception.

It does not apply to the Triphile app.

16. THE SIMPLE RULE

If you wouldn’t want someone treating you that way on a trip, don’t treat them that way here.

We’re here to help people go places together.

Let’s make sure the people are worth travelling with.
