Community Guidelines

Last updated: 24 October 2026 · Version 2026-10-draft-1

Chal Buddy is a community of people who enjoy doing things together. These guidelines apply to everyone: customers and companions, on the website, in the app and at every meetup.

Strictly platonic

• Chal Buddy is company for activities, nothing more.
• No physical contact beyond a handshake, and no requests for it.
• No requests for anything outside the booked activity.
• No flirting, suggestive messages, suggestive photos or comments about someone's body.
• Breaking this rule means a permanent ban.

Respect

• Treat everyone with courtesy. No harassment, threats, insults or pressure of any kind.
• No discrimination based on religion, caste, gender, sexual orientation, disability, age, region or language.
• "No" means no. If someone wants to end a meetup early, respect it and check out in the app.
• Be on time. If you are running late, say so in the in-app chat.

Public places only

• Meet only at the approved public venue in the booking, during booking hours.
• Never move to a home, hotel room, vehicle or any other private place.
• Do not bring other people unless both of you have agreed in the app.

Keep it on Chal Buddy

• Do not share phone numbers, email addresses, social media handles or UPI IDs.
• Do not ask for or make payments outside Chal Buddy, including cash or tips outside the app.
• Calls happen only inside the app.

Stay clear-headed and safe

• No alcohol or drugs before or during a meetup.
• Do not take photos or recordings of anyone without their clear agreement.
• Keep the app open during meetups, answer safety check-ins, and use SOS if you need help.

Honest profiles and reviews

• Use your real name and real, recent photos of yourself, fully dressed, in an ordinary setting.
• Write honest reviews. Do not offer or ask for reviews in exchange for anything.

Talk and listen sessions

• These sessions are friendly company and a listening ear, not counselling or medical advice. Companions never call themselves counsellors or therapists.
• If someone mentions harming themselves, share the free Tele-MANAS helpline (14416) and, in an emergency, call 112. Our safety team is alerted automatically.

Reporting and what happens next

• Use Report or Block on any profile or chat. Reports are private.
• A critical or high-severity report freezes the reported account until our team reviews it.
• Depending on what happened we may warn, add a strike, suspend or permanently ban an account, and we cooperate with the police where the law requires.
