Community Guidelines

1. The Core Standard

Use Hespr in a way that is honest, respectful, and safe.

Do not use Hespr to deceive people, pressure people, monitor people, or put people in uncomfortable or unsafe situations.

A mutual wave or connection is not a blank cheque. Nobody owes you a response, a meeting, attention, or continued interaction.

2. Be Real

You must represent yourself honestly.

If Hespr uses recent or live photo features, those features are there to improve trust. Trying to bypass them is a serious violation.

• Use photos that actually show you.
• Do not impersonate another person.
• Do not lie about your age or identity.
• Do not use fake or misleading recent/live photos.
• Do not use AI-generated, heavily deceptive, or manipulated images to make people think you are someone you are not.
• Do not run multiple deceptive accounts.

3. Respect Boundaries

Respecting boundaries is one of the most important rules on Hespr.

No means no. Silence also does not mean yes.

• Continue contacting someone who has blocked you.
• Keep pushing after someone declines, ignores, or clearly shows disinterest.
• Pressure someone to meet, move faster, share personal information, or leave a venue.
• Guilt, shame, threaten, or manipulate someone for not responding.
• Create new accounts to get around rejection, blocking, or restrictions.

4. No Harassment, Stalking, or Predatory Behavior

Hespr has zero tolerance for behavior that makes users feel hunted, cornered, intimidated, or unsafe.

If your behavior would make a reasonable person feel unsafe, it likely does not belong on Hespr.

• Stalk or follow another user.
• Use venue visibility to wait for, confront, or track someone.
• Watch for a user repeatedly across venues in a way that crosses the line from social discovery into monitoring.
• Use Hespr to ambush someone in person.
• Threaten violence, humiliation, exposure, or retaliation.
• Sexually harass anyone.
• Extort, blackmail, dox, or intimidate anyone.
• Target users based on race, ethnicity, religion, nationality, disability, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or other protected characteristics.

5. Do Not Misuse Visibility Features

Visibility is one of the core features of Hespr, and one of the easiest features to abuse if users act badly.

If a feature lets you see more, that creates more responsibility, not less.

• Use visibility to monitor another person’s movements.
• Use visibility to repeatedly show up where someone is after they have rejected or blocked you.
• Use visibility to pressure someone into meeting you.
• Treat venue visibility as consent to approach, follow, or persist.
• Misuse paid features to track, catalogue, or monitor users in a creepy or targeted way.

6. Public Venues Only

Hespr is built for public venue-based discovery, not private location exposure.

Even if a map or data source labels a place incorrectly, do not use Hespr in a way that turns a private place into a discoverable social target.

• Private homes.
• Apartment units.
• Private hotel rooms.
• Dorm rooms.
• Private offices.
• Staff-only areas.
• Other non-public or semi-private spaces.

7. No Fake Check-Ins or Location Spoofing

You must not fake where you are.

People rely on venue signals to make decisions. Faking presence damages trust across the whole product.

• Location spoofing.
• Mock GPS tools.
• Emulator-based fake presence.
• Device manipulation to appear at venues where you are not.
• False attendance signals.
• Fake “I’m going” signals meant to mislead or bait others.

8. No Minors

Hespr is for adults only.

You may not use Hespr if you are under 18. You may not pretend to be 18 or older if you are not. You may not use Hespr to sexualize, groom, solicit, or exploit anyone, and any content or conduct involving minors in a sexual or exploitative context will result in immediate action and may be reported where appropriate.

9. Keep Content Lawful and Respectful

You may not post, upload, send, or share content that is threatening, hateful, sexually exploitative, non-consensual, harassing, defamatory, fraudulent, unlawful, or invasive of another person’s privacy.

You also may not post content that includes another person’s image or personal information in a way that violates their rights or reasonably puts them at risk.

10. No Sexual Coercion or Exploitation

Hespr is not a place for coercion, pressure, or predatory sexual behavior.

• Pressure someone into sexual activity.
• Pressure someone to move to a private location.
• Offer money, perks, or leverage for sexual contact in a coercive way.
• Solicit explicit content aggressively or non-consensually.
• Threaten to expose private information or images.
• Distribute intimate images without consent.

11. No Scams, Fraud, or Commercial Abuse

Hespr is not for scams or unauthorized commercial use.

• Catfish people.
• Solicit money under false pretenses.
• Run romance scams.
• Recruit users into deceptive offers, schemes, or off-platform scams.
• Use Hespr primarily for escorting, commercial sexual services, lead generation, recruiting, or unauthorized promotion.
• Mass-message users for business purposes.
• Use the platform like a marketing list.

12. No Scraping, Harvesting, or Data Extraction

You may not scrape or harvest Hespr data.

People use Hespr expecting in-app social discovery, not outside surveillance or redistribution.

• Copying user profiles at scale.
• Collecting venue rosters.
• Exporting attendance patterns.
• Building datasets from user visibility.
• Using bots, scripts, crawlers, or automation.
• Screenshotting or reposting other users’ venue presence in a harmful way.

13. Be Honest About Venues and Events

If Hespr allows venue edits, venue suggestions, event creation, or attendance signals, use those features honestly.

• Create fake venues.
• Create fake events.
• Intentionally mislabel a venue.
• Falsely claim a venue is public when it is not.
• Use event tools to lure, trick, or mislead people.
• Submit attendance signals designed to manipulate, bait, or deceive others.

14. Respect Venue Spaces and Real-World Context

Hespr is used in the real world, not just on a screen.

You must not use the app in a way that disrupts venues, violates house rules, or creates problems for staff, other guests, or the public.

• Harass venue staff.
• Treat a venue like it owes you access because it appears in Hespr.
• Create scenes, confrontations, or unwanted pressure inside a venue.
• Use the app to bypass venue rules, age restrictions, or private-event boundaries.

15. Reporting and Blocking

If someone makes you uncomfortable, use the tools Hespr provides.

You should block and report users who harass you, fake their identity, fake their location, pressure you, threaten you, make you feel unsafe, or violate these Guidelines.

Please make reports honestly. False, malicious, or retaliatory reporting is also misconduct.

16. Hespr May Take Action

Hespr may take action when it believes a user has violated these Guidelines, the Terms of Service, or the safety expectations of the platform.

That action may include content removal, reduced feature access, visibility restrictions, warnings, verification requests, temporary suspension, or permanent account removal.

In serious cases, Hespr may preserve relevant records and cooperate with lawful requests or safety-related processes where appropriate.

Not every action will be visible to the reporting user, and Hespr may limit what it discloses in order to protect privacy, safety, investigations, or legal obligations.

17. Use Judgment in Real Life

Hespr can help people discover each other, but it cannot guarantee anyone’s identity, honesty, intentions, or safety.

If you are in immediate danger, contact emergency services or venue staff.

• Meet in public.
• Trust your instincts.
• Leave if something feels off.
• Do not rely on the app as a guarantee of safety.
• Do not assume a mutual connection means someone has been vetted.

18. The Spirit of the Rules Matters

These Guidelines cannot list every bad behavior in exact detail. If you are using Hespr in a way that is deceptive, invasive, predatory, manipulative, or unsafe, Hespr may act even if your behavior is not named word-for-word above.

The point of Hespr is to make real-world social discovery feel exciting without making it feel risky, creepy, or deceptive. Use it that way.
