Safety

Real connections
start with trust.

The best travel memories are made with people you genuinely trust. Hapn protects that experience through thoughtful product design, clear community standards, and real human review.

18+ community

Hapn is for adults only. Everyone on the platform is 18 or over. We verify your date of birth at sign-up, so you can connect with confidence that you are among peers. It is the first promise we make to every member.

You are in control: report and block

If something feels off, act on it. You can report or block any user or Hub directly from their profile with no hoops to jump through. Once blocked, that person cannot see your profile, your Hubs, or contact you in any way.

Every report is reviewed by a real person on the Hapn team. Your report does not just protect you. It helps keep the community safe for the next person too.

Your data belongs to you

Everything Hapn collects is handled under our Privacy Policy. What other users see, such as your display name, profile photo, and bio, is entirely up to you. You decide what to share, and you can change it any time. Nothing is ever exposed without your consent.

Meeting in person, safely

Tips from experienced Hapn members for first-time meetups:

  • Meet for the first time in a busy public spot, such as a cafe, station, or plaza
  • Hold off on sharing personal contact details until you have built some trust
  • Never feel pressured to share money or personal information
  • Trust your gut. If something feels wrong, use report and block without hesitation
