COACTA SAFETY GUIDELINES Effective Date: 2026-10-13 Your safety is primarily your responsibility. Coacta connects people for planned activities and clubs; we do not supervise meetups or guarantee anyone's conduct. Coacta is for adults 18 and older. General - Meet first in public, well-lit places - Tell a trusted person your plans (who, where, when) - Trust your instincts and leave if something feels wrong - Carry ID, a charged phone, and needed medical information - Avoid alcohol or impairment with new people - Verify details in-app before relying on last-minute changes sent only off-platform Location and discovery - Activity start pins, club addresses, and discovery radius settings can reveal where people gather—share only what you are comfortable making visible to your chosen audience - Prefer friends-only or club visibility when meeting people you do not know well - Treat public listings with caution - A route you import from a file can contain the exact path and times of an activity you actually did; check what a route reveals before you share it - Coacta does not continuously track your movements or provide live location sharing of your workout path Activity safety - Use appropriate gear (helmets, lights, footwear) - Obey traffic and trail rules - Communicate pace and group plans; do not pressure others beyond their comfort - Know your limits; planned pace/distance fields in the app are coordination aids, not medical advice—consult a doctor when appropriate - Weather, traffic, and trail conditions change; assess conditions yourself - When hosting, communicate pace groups, gear needs, and cancel promptly if conditions are unsafe - Keep activity descriptions accurate about difficulty and who the meetup is for In-app safety - Prefer in-app messaging before sharing personal contact details - Use Report and Block on profiles when needed - Do not share financial information or government IDs - A group may ask you to accept its own waiver before you can see its activities. Read it. It is that group's document, not Coacta's, and Coacta is not a party to it - Treat third-party race registration links as external sites with their own practices - Do not use Coacta to contact or arrange meetups with minors Child safety and intimate images - Coacta does not allow anyone to use it to contact, groom, or exploit a minor. Our Child Safety Standards are at coacta.com/child-safety - If you see sexual content involving a minor, report it in the app or email safety@coacta.com. Do not save, screenshot, or forward it, even to report it - If someone shares an intimate image of you without your consent, real or fake, ask us to remove it at coacta.com/take-it-down. We remove it within 48 hours of a valid request - If a child is in immediate danger, call 911 What Coacta does / does not do - We use date of birth to confirm users are 18 or older - We review reports submitted in the app and may take enforcement action - We may review reported messages or Content when investigating safety or Guidelines issues - We report apparent child sexual exploitation to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, as the law requires - We do not run background checks or guarantee meetup safety Report urgent safety issues to local emergency services (911 in the U.S.).
