Safety

Meetla exists so you can meet people you do not know yet. That is the point of the platform — and its main risk. Below is what reduces it dramatically.

Meet for the first time in a public place

A park, a café, a coworking space, a sports ground. Do not agree to a first meeting in a flat, in a car, or somewhere deserted, however reasonable the explanation sounds.

Tell someone where you are going

Give someone close to you the place, the time and the club’s name. It takes thirty seconds, and it is the one measure that works when everything else has failed.

Don’t send money in advance to people you don’t know

Meetla does not process payments and cannot reverse a transfer. Urgent prepayment, a price noticeably out of line with reason, and a request to pay “not to the details on the card” are the classic signs of a scam.

You decide what is visible about you

Settings → Privacy lets you limit what other members see. The event organizer separately decides whether the attendee list is visible. Don’t publish your home address, documents or work schedule.

Leave if you’re uncomfortable

You owe nobody anything and you don’t have to explain. Walking out halfway through is fine. If you are threatened or force is used — call 112.

Report problems

The “Report” button is on every club and every event page. The report goes to a moderator; review takes up to 7 working days. About a specific person’s behaviour, write to us with a link to their profile.

What we don’t do — plainly

  • We do not verify identities and we do not check documents.
  • We are not present at meetups and we are not responsible for what happens there.
  • We take no part in payments and cannot return your money — see the payment terms.

We can restrict access for an offender and take down a club or an event. That is enough to stop someone, and not enough to replace your own caution.

For organizers: a private club with approval filters out casual arrivals, and QR check-in shows who actually came. Both are switched on when creating the club and the event.

Ran into something we should know about — write to contact.
