Community Guidelines
Last updated July 15, 2026
Circl is built on trust between hosts and members. These guidelines describe the behavior we expect from everyone — and what happens when someone breaks them.
01The short version
Circl exists so people can find their people. Be the member you'd want in your own community: show up, be kind, and leave places better than you found them.
02Being a good host
- Describe your Circl honestly — who it's for, what it costs, and what members can expect.
- Run the events you announce, or communicate early when plans change.
- Treat applications with respect: respond in a reasonable time, and don't collect more information than you need.
- Moderate your space. What happens in your Circl is your responsibility.
03Being a good member
- RSVP honestly and show up when you say you will.
- Respect the host's rules — every Circl runs differently, and that's the point.
- Disagreement is fine; disrespect isn't.
04Safety first
Most Circls meet in real life. Meet in public places when you're new to a group, tell someone where you're going, and trust your instincts. Hosts should choose venues that are safe and accessible for their members.
05What's not allowed
- Harassment, hate speech, or discrimination of any kind.
- Violence or threats — online or at events.
- Scams, pyramid schemes, or deceptive commercial activity disguised as community.
- Sexual content involving minors, or any sexualization of minors. This results in immediate removal and a report to authorities.
- Sharing other members' personal information without their consent.
06Reporting a problem

07How we enforce
Depending on severity, we may remove content, restrict features, or suspend accounts and Circls. We aim to be proportionate and transparent.
