1. Verify Before You Meet

• Only interact with verified profiles — look for the verification badge on listings.
• Video-call or voice-call the person before meeting to confirm their identity matches the profile photos.
• Reverse-image-search profile photos if you have any doubts.
• Never send money or personal documents to someone you have not verified.

2. Choose Safe Meeting Locations

• Prefer reputable hotels or established venues listed on our Places directory.
• Avoid secluded or unfamiliar locations, especially for first meetings.
• Do not share your exact home address with someone you have never met.
• Arrive and leave independently — do not rely on the other party for transport.

3. Tell Someone You Trust

• Always let a trusted friend or family member know where you are going and when you expect to return.
• Share the profile link of the person you are meeting with someone you trust.
• Check in with your trusted contact during and after the meeting.

4. Protect Your Personal Information

• Do not share your full legal name, home address, or banking details through the platform's messaging system.
• Use a separate phone number or messaging app if you prefer additional privacy.
• Be cautious of anyone who pressures you to move communication off-platform immediately.
• Review our Privacy Policy to understand how we handle your data.

5. Financial Safety

• Never pay large upfront deposits to someone you have not verified in person or via video call.
• Use secure, traceable payment methods. Avoid cryptocurrency or gift cards as payment.
• Purple Bunny will never ask you to pay via an unofficial channel. If someone claims to be Purple Bunny support and asks for payment, it is a scam — contact us immediately.

6. Consent and Boundaries

• All interactions must be based on mutual consent. Respect the other party's limits at all times.
• No means no — regardless of prior communication or payment.
• Any form of coercion, assault, or harassment is illegal and will be reported to the authorities.

7. Health & Well-being

• Practise safe sex and carry protection at all times.
• Do not feel pressured to engage in any activity that makes you uncomfortable.
• If you are concerned about the health or safety of yourself or someone else, contact emergency services immediately.

8. Report Suspicious Activity

If you encounter a profile or user that makes you feel unsafe, please report it immediately. We take every report seriously and will investigate promptly.

• Use the Report button on any profile or listing.
• Contact our support team via the Contact Us page.
• In an emergency, always call 10111 (SAPS) or 112 from a mobile phone.

9. For Escorts — Screening Clients

• Request verified contact details and review the client's profile and booking history before confirming.
• Trust your instincts — if something feels off, it is okay to decline a booking.
• Keep copies of all booking communications in case you need them later.
• Work with a trusted colleague or safety buddy who knows your schedule.
