Buddilio

Safety & Trust

Last updated 21 August 2026 · version 2

Buddilio believes that trust is essential to social discovery. We work to provide tools and policies designed to support:

  • Responsible profiles
  • Reporting
  • Moderation
  • Community standards
  • Secure payments
  • Privacy protection
  • Vendor verification where applicable
  • User education

However, no platform can guarantee that every user or interaction will be safe. Users should always exercise independent judgment.

How we verify

  • Email verification on every account
  • Optional government-ID verification with a visible verified badge
  • Photo moderation before profile pictures go live
  • Companion applications reviewed manually before approval
  • Vendors, organisers and travel providers onboarded under a signed agreement with PAN, address proof and bank proof on file

Payments and money

  • Payments are collected through established payment gateways — Buddilio never stores your full card details
  • Every purchase generates an invoice and a receipt you can download from your ledger
  • Published cancellation and refund rules apply to each booking
  • Vendor settlements run on a fixed cycle and are fully auditable

Reporting and moderation

  • One-tap reporting on profiles, events, reviews and messages
  • Reports are queued for human review, not auto-dismissed
  • Outcomes include warnings, hidden content, suspension or a permanent ban
  • Repeat or serious safety breaches remove an account and its listings

Every Buddilio user is responsible for

  • Providing truthful information
  • Respecting other users
  • Protecting personal information
  • Protecting financial information
  • Following the law
  • Following Community Guidelines
  • Following Safety Centre recommendations
  • Reporting suspicious behaviour
  • Respecting consent and boundaries

What we cannot promise

Buddilio is a discovery platform, not a guarantor. We do not run background checks on every member, we cannot supervise offline meetings, and vendors are independent businesses responsible for their own services. Meet in public, tell someone your plan, and use the Report a Concern option early rather than late.
