At Tukioo, we’re here to help you connect, share, and create unforgettable experiences! Here are some helpful guidelines and safety tips to ensure that every gathering you organize or attend through our app is both fun and safe.

1. Organizing Gatherings Safely 🗓️

Plan Ahead

• Clear Communication: Provide all necessary details, like meeting time, location, event type, and what attendees should bring.
• Choose Public Venues: Select public places like cafes, parks, or venues where everyone can feel comfortable and safe.
• Limit the Group Size: For informal gatherings, keep the group size manageable. This allows for better interaction and is safer for everyone involved.
• Outline Expectations: Let participants know what to expect from the event, including dress codes, behavior guidelines, and any important rules.

Setting Boundaries

• Monitor Behavior: Be attentive to participants’ behavior. Tukioo encourages a welcoming, respectful environment, so keep an eye out for anyone who might disrupt the positive atmosphere.
• Provide Emergency Contact: Share an emergency contact or venue information with participants, especially for larger gatherings, to ensure support if needed.

2. Participating in Gatherings Safely 🚶‍♂️🚶‍♀️

Before the Gathering

• Confirm Event Details: Double-check the time, place, and type of event so you know what to expect.
• Research the Venue: If it’s your first time at a particular venue, look it up to get familiar with the surroundings.
• Tell Someone You Trust: Share your plans, including the event’s time, location, and any contacts, with a friend or family member.

During the Gathering

• Trust Your Instincts: If you ever feel uncomfortable or sense something off, don’t hesitate to leave.
• Keep Personal Items Safe: Keep your belongings in a secure spot and avoid leaving valuables unattended.
• Maintain Boundaries: Be clear and assertive about your personal space and boundaries with other attendees.

3. Respect and Responsibility 🤝

Show Respect

• Be Inclusive: Everyone deserves to feel welcomed and respected. Avoid discriminatory behavior, and be mindful of diverse backgrounds.
• Respect Personal Boundaries: Ask for consent before physical interactions like hugs, handshakes, or photos.
• Keep Conversations Positive: Avoid divisive or sensitive topics that could make others uncomfortable.

Safety First

• Stay Sober and Alert: If you choose to drink alcohol, do so responsibly. Being aware and in control helps you stay safe and makes gatherings enjoyable for everyone.
• Look Out for Others: If you see someone who appears uncomfortable or needs help, check in with them or notify the event organizer.

4. Tukioo’s Role as a Facilitator 🎯

Please remember that Tukioo is a facilitator for events and gatherings organized through the app. While we aim to create a safe platform for connecting people, Tukioo does not assume responsibility for individual interactions or events. We encourage all users to act responsibly and use sound judgment during gatherings.

5. Reporting and Support 📞

If you experience or witness inappropriate behavior, please report it directly to the event organizer or to Tukioo through our app support. Tukioo is committed to keeping our community safe and will take necessary actions when informed of misconduct.

In Case of Emergency 🚨

If you experience or witness an emergency or feel that immediate help is needed, please contact local authorities right away.

For any urgent situations, call local emergency services (e.g., 112 in Europe, 911 in the US). Event organizers and Tukioo are here to support you, but local authorities are best equipped to handle emergencies.
