Community Guidelines

Treat every runner with respect. A connection, accepted request, or message does not imply romantic or sexual interest. Unwanted romantic or sexual messages are prohibited. Respect another person’s pace, ability, physical boundaries, and decision to end a run, connection, or conversation.

- Do not repeatedly contact someone after rejection, removal, or a lack of response. - Do not harass, threaten, stalk, intimidate, coerce, or encourage harm. - Do not use hate speech or discriminate based on identity or protected characteristics. - Do not pressure anyone to share an exact home location or other sensitive information. - Do not treat a general area or approximate distance as proof of someone’s current location, identity, or safety. - Do not share another person’s private information without permission.

- Do not impersonate others or use deceptive profiles or material misrepresentations. - Do not send spam, scams, commercial solicitations, or malicious links. - Do not use Run Bud to facilitate illegal or dangerous activity.

You can block or report a runner from their profile. Reports are private and may preserve a limited snapshot of profile or conversation context for review. Reports may lead to a warning, restriction, suspension, or account removal. Run Bud does not promise a particular moderation outcome or response time. Run Bud does not perform background checks or guarantee another user’s conduct.
